Complete Case Sign-Offs

The final three QC steps are completed at the case level. These sign-offs are recorded in another system (Nabu), but can be completed from Dimsum.

QC Step Description Requirements

Release Approval Approval to release deliverables to the collaborator Approval for each deliverable type - clinical report and/or data release

When a case is stopped, release approval and release QC steps are still required in order to indicate that any partial results or failed deliverable have been delivered as required.

    3. Select the cases using the checkboxes at the left side of the table.
