Internal Data Analytes

A user recently asked:

“Is it possible to add “internal” analytes to projects that we have to maintain records for (e.g., pH of a sample) but not have it reported during export to Excel?”

Yes, there is an Internal Data option on the Specifications tab of the Analyses setup screen that you can use for this purpose. Any analytes marked as Internal Data will be excluded from an Excel final report if you enable the template’s ‘Exclude Internal Data Analyses’ option on the Settings worksheet. Internal Data analytes are also commonly used to add additional costs to a sample such as pickup fees and consulting charges.
