Happy Wednesday! The Confident team is excited to share a number of updates with you today. Some we shipped earlier this year, and you might already be using. Some are new from today's release, and we think you'll love!
What’s New?
Edit existing LODs, LOQs, & Limits with our new LIMS Editor!
For our Pro & Premium LIMS Labs, users with owner or admin permissions can now edit existing LODs, LOQs, Max, Limit Range Low, Limit Range High, and Limit default values per matrix directly within our system.
Labs can also:
- Change the order of existing ribbon fields
- Hide existing Analytes for specific reports
- Change the order of analytes in the table
- Make these LOD/LOQ/Limits changes on a per-Matrix basis.
Here's a brief look at the new editor:
Note: This editor only gives you the ability to edit existing numerical values. To edit formulas or functions, please continue to reach out to our support team. Additionally, saving the changes will update the existing sample + future sample configs, with the option to update older sample configs on a per-sample basis.
New Orders Header
We updated the Orders header to be more readable and include more useful information! This new header includes all previous information like the Order ID & Client Name, and a number of new details: the total # of samples in the order, Order created & received dates, Paid status & Order status.
METRC Labs now will see the “Regulator Batch ID” populated
with the SourcePackageLabels field from the METRC API when adding samples from METRC or a METRC manifest.Note: If you have more than 1 package ID in METRC, double check your COAs for any potential formatting issues and reach out to support for necessary changes.
Spider Charts
are now available for display on our COAs! Reach out to our support team to configure these on your reports today.
Improved:
- API Labs can now get lab data on draft COAs(lab_data_draft) when calling the samples endpoint.
- Labs can now edit the Order “Paid” statusdirectly from the Orders table
- Un-publish All Reports for an OrderLabs can now un-publish one or many reports in an Order using the Order Actions Menu.
- Added aSubmit to METRC and release resultsoption: METRC Labs can submit data to METRC & release the results in METRC to the client in one click, while skipping the verify step. The “Verify & Submit” step will still submit & release in one action.
- We now displaySubmit for quotefor test packages with a $0 pricein the Menu table in Settings.
- Custom Date Defaults for Order Intake- Labs can now request our support team to configure any date fields in the Sample Intake form to default to the date of order creation.

Here's a quick roundup of improvements & fixes!
Improved:
- For Labs & Clients, you can now filter the Samples List by three different date types,Date Published,Date Received, andDate Completed, on the Samples List.
Date Published
is the day the sample is delivered to the client when the lab hits "Publish" in the Confident system. Date Received
is when the day the lab selected "Verify" on an order, marking the samples associated as officially received by the lab.Date Completed
is when the order that the sample is associated with is in the Complete status.- Refreshed the License modal to fit with our UI! In this refresh, we also improved some navigation elements to make it quicker to choose your relevant license and place orders a bit faster.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a bug on date filters that would show no results when you wanted to only filter by 1 day.
- The above bug was affecting what data would appear in Export files. This has also been resolved.
- Fixed a bug that was preventing users from exporting COAs from the Orders Table.
Have a great day! 🎉
