Glossary ======== .. glossary:: Admin Site This is the section of your QATrack+ site used for configuring Tests, Test Lists, Auto Review Rules etc. See :ref:`the Admin Site documentation `. API The API (Application Programming Interface) is a method you can use to access and upload data to your QATrack+ programmaticaly. See :ref:`the API documentation `. Auth Token The :term:`API` uses Auth tokens for authenticating API requests. Auto Review In QATrack+ you can set up :ref:`Auto Review Rules ` to automatically assign :term:`Test Instance Status`\s to your :term:`Test instance`\s so that no manual review is required. Auto Review Rule See :term:`Auto Review`. Category Categories define the type of test users are performing. Test Lists can be filtered by Test Category when performing QC. See :ref:`Categories `. Contacts Contacts are phone numbers that can be displayed to users when performing QC in case they run into any issues and need to call for help. See :ref:`Contacts `. Frequency Frequency is the time schedule with which a test list is to be performed (e.g. Daily, Monthly, Annual etc). See :ref:`Frequency `. Groups Groups are used to :term:`User` s with common roles within the clinic. Groups are useful for managing :term:`Permissions` for similar users. See :ref:`Groups `. Group Linkers Group linkers are used to specifiy individual :term:`Groups` members involved in a :term:`Service Event`. This information is displayed on the Service Event page in the Involved Parties and Durations frame and may be used to specifiy the various individuals involved in the Service Event (beyond those doing the actual service work). See :ref:`Service Log `. Location Parts storage :term:`Rooms` may have one or more locations (e.g. a shelf, closet, cabinet etc) associated with them. Modality Treatment & diagnostic units may have multiple modalities assigned (for example 6MV photon & 15MeV electron). In future, it may be possible to assign Test List's to specific Unit modalities rather than an entire Unit. Notification Subscriptions Notification subscriptions allow QATrack+ to send email alerts to different groups when a Test List is submitted with one or more Tests which are outside of Tolerance or Action levels. See :ref:`Email notifications `. Parts As of QATrack+ v0.3.0 there is now a Parts application which can be used for tracking spare parts inventory. See :ref:`Parts `. Parts Categories Parts categories allow you to categorize parts by their function (e.g. Linac, Table, Laser etc). Permissions The permissions assigned to Groups and Users control what functionality they have access to on the QCTrack+ site. See :ref:`Permissions `. QC Session See :term:`Test List Instance`. Reference The value which :term:`Test Instance` are compared to when performing QC to determine whether they are within tolerance and action levels. See :ref:`References & Tolerances `. Rooms Rooms are used in the :term:`Parts` app for keeping track of where spare parts are located. Return To Service QC Test Lists that must be performed after a :term:`Service Event` before a :term:`Unit` can be released for clinical service. RTS See :term:`Return To Service QC` RTS QC See :term:`Return To Service QC` Service Area Service Area's are different sub systems of a treatment unit & bunker. For example: - Treatment Table - Lasers - XVI - iView Service Event A machine service event like preventative maintenance, unplanned outage etc. See :ref:`Service Log `. Service Event Status The status of a :term:`Service Event`. Service Event Status's indicate whether review of the Service Event is required and whether Return To Service QC must be reviewed. Example Service Event Status's include: - Service Pending - Service In Progress - Service Complete - Approved - Test Data - Rejected Service Type The type of a :term:`Service Event`. For example: - Preventative Maintenance - Minor Repairs / Corrective Maintenance - Extensive Repairs - Safety Systems See :ref:`Service Log `. Site For clinics with multiple sites, you can indicate which site a :term:`Unit` is located at. Staff User A Staff user is any user who can access the admin section. See :ref:`Users `. Status See :term:`Test Instance Status` Sublist To ease configuration of :term:`Test List`\s, you can include other :term:`Test List`\s in addition to :term:`Test`\s. See :ref:`Sublists `. Superuser A User who has Superuser status has all :term:`Permissions` granted to them implicitly. See :ref:`Users `. Suppliers Suppliers are companies/vendors who supply your clinic with parts. See :ref:`Parts `. Test A Test is any individual measurement to be entered into QATrack+. Tests may be a numerical value to be entered, a true or false checkmark, text entry etc. Test List A Test List is a grouping of Test's to be performed at the same time. For example a Test List might be "Monthly 6MV Output" and be made up of tests for temperature, air pressure, ion chamber calibration factors and ion chamber readings. Test List Cycle A Test List Cycle allows you to group multiple Test Lists into a single repeating cycle that can be assigned to a unit. See :ref:`Test Lists `. Test Instance A Test Instance is a single completed value of any given :term:`Test`. Each Test Instance is assigned a :term:`Test Instance Status`. Test List Instance A Test List Instance is a single completed value of any given :term:`Test List`. Also called a `QC Session`. Test Instance Status A Test Instance Status is assigned to each :term:`Test Instance` which indicates whether a Test Instance is reviewed/approved/rejected. See :ref:`Statuses `. Test Pack A file of Tests, Test Lists, Test List Cycles, and Test Categories to enable sharing configurations between different clinics. See :ref:`Test Packs `. Third Parties Third parties are service people, associated with a :term:`Vendor` from outside the clinic who work on/repair units. See :ref:`Service Log `. Tolerance Tolerances, in combination with :term:`Reference`\s, determine whether a Test Instance value is within tolerance or action levels. See :ref:`References & Tolerances `. Unit A piece of equipment e.g. a linac, brachy suite, tomotherapy unit etc. You may also want to define e.g. Unit Class Unit class is the category of Unit e.g. Linac, Tomotherapy, CT, MRI etc. Unit Type The model of a unit e.g. Elekta Synergy, Varian TrueBeam. Unit Service Area Memberships Unit Service Area Memberships are how :term:`Service Area`\s are associated with a :term:`Unit` and are configured via the :ref:`Unit admin `. Unit Test Collection Unit Test Collections are how :term:`Test List`\s and :term:`Frequency` are associated with a :ref:`Unit `. Unreviewed Queue The set of :term:`Test List Instance`'s that require manual review. User Any person who has the ability to login to your QATrack+ site. See :ref:`User `. Vendor Major equipment vendors e.g. Accuray, Elekta, Varian etc.
