==Sandbox begins below==
==''Introduction to Quality and Quality Management Systems''==
The intention of this document is 1. to assist labs searching for a [[laboratory informatics]] product with identifying their system needs and 2. to help labs better determine if a specific vendor/product meets their requirements in the form of a request for information (RFI). The idea is to allow users to incorporate a standardized specifications sheet in their comparison of various laboratory informatics products.
{{ombox
 
| type      = content
This questionnaire lists the extensive requirements of a [[scientific data management system]] (SDMS). It attempts to be comprehensive and includes many items that do not apply to every lab. Additionally, some laboratories' requirements include a functionality item not common to other labs. The last section, 1.7 "Custom functions," is designed for the vendor to insert any additional functionality that doesn't fall under the categories provided.
| style   = width: 500px;
 
| text      = This book should not be considered complete until this message box has been removed. This is a work in progress.
When referencing a particular item for someone else, use the section number followed by the requirement letter, e.g. 1.4.2.f for "Does your system allow the administrator to create custom screens, applications, and reports? Please give details."
 
===Requirement code and notes===
 
In responding to each requirement, the vendor must select a requirement code from the following:
 
* '''Y''': Meets requirement in commercial off-the-shelf solution as delivered/configured (or vendor provides service)
* '''YC''': Meets requirement only with customization (additional code, using a third-party application, etc.)
* '''N''': Does not meet requirement
* '''I''': Informational response only, N/A
 
The vendor should ideally enter a requirement code and a response for each functionality question.

| text      = To add the requirement code and vendor notes to a functionality item, look for this kind of code in the appropriate section:<br /><code><nowiki> | style="padding:5px; width:500px;" |'''a.''' Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor</nowiki></code><br />
<code><nowiki> | style="background-color:white; padding:5px;" |</nowiki></code><br />
<code><nowiki>  | style="background-color:white;" |</nowiki></code><br />
...and add the applicable requirement code after the pipe (<nowiki>|</nowiki>) on the second line, and the vendor response after the pipe (<nowiki>|</nowiki>) on the third line.
}}

The goal of this short volume is to act as an introduction to the quality management system. It collects several articles related to quality, quality management, and associated systems.

===Printing or saving===
The print/export options in the navigation on the far left give you a few options for saving this and other pages, printing them for later.
 
'''Note''': Tables are currently not being rendered in PDFs as we like through the MediaWiki [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Collection Collection extension]. While we sure would love for you to make a PDF of this document, be warned: the tables don't format as intended, using either the "Create a book" or "Download as PDF" processes. For now you're best off selecting "Printable version" and printing that instead.
