Description

The feature "sample deletion pending" ensures that a sample deletion is done with the permissions of an approver.
When a user clicks on "Delete sample" in Data entry, an approver has to sign-in and confirm the deletion of the sample.

This way we can regulate the sample's data integrity.

Resolution

To use this feature follow below steps:
  1. Remote into Web Data Entry Server as an Administrator
  2. Navigate to <DRIVE:\WebSTATISTICAPub\DataEntry> and locate "web.config" file.
  3. Open the file with admin rights.
  4. Locate the attribute "RequireApprovalOnDelete" and set the value as "true".
  5. If you are not able find the above attribute, then add following key to the file:
    •     <add key="RequireApprovalOnDelete" value="true" />
  6. Save the file. 
  7. Launch command prompt as an Administrator and run the command "iisreset"
Now, when you delete any sample, a pop-up will be displayed asking for an approver to login and proceed with the deletion of the sample.
