Iso / IEC / ANAB Settings

Out of the box, xBit fulfills the following accredidation guidelines:

  • Allows Administrators to set Mandatory Case Review (optional) for Peer Review and/or Admin Review for compliance with ANAB Document 3125 and ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Accreditation Guidelines.
  • Set case to “Pending Review” to prevent any further changes/additions until approved or rejected (Section 7.5.1.4).
  • View a comprehensive audit of all activity in the database (user logins, attempts to login, data entries, etc.) with date and time stamps (7.5.1).

The only guideline that isn't set is:

  • Track technical records/notes related to investigations in a permanent manner (7.5.1.4, 7.5.2).

This simply requires that you can't edit memos.

To set whether xBit needs to fully conform to ISO/IEC 17025:2017, ANAB AR 3125 lab certification and disable memo editing, navigate to Admin > ​About/Settings > Conform to ANAB 17015-2017 and select the Yes option to comply.

SORN Compliance

Agencies/organizations that must certify SORN compliance can remove personal identifying information (PII) fields. To Enable SORN compliance, navigate to Admin > ​About / Settings > Enable Sorn and select Yes.

Set Up SMTP

We highly recommend you set up SMTP, especially if you are on a local network. SMTP setup is important because it allows you to:

  • Reset your password if you have forgotten or lost it (if you are the sole admin, you will need to contact support to reset your password)
  • Send out email notifications
  • Create logins for external users submitting lab requests where you can save your work

To set up SMTP, go to Admin > About / Settings > EMAIL
