Recall Action Instructions |
Customers are to: Save Accession number by clicking outside the field or press Enter after a change is made, and not use the arrow key.
Please note that this problem only occurs when using Firefox, not with Edge and Chrome browsers. Continue to use good practice and perform changes on one isolate at a time.
This has been corrected in 10.0.1 (10MR1 – Maintenance Release). Firefox will no longer be the default browser for future software releases, however the problem will not recur in the FireFox browser after installation of 10.0.1. |
