Table 1 - 6. Collection Element Dependencies

You can choose to save a collection plan that you have added a dependent collection element (Lot Number) to even if you do not add the collection element that it is depends on (Item). However, when you enter results using this collection plan, the field for the dependent collection element (Lot Number) is disabled and you are prohibited from entering results.

It is possible to sequence collection plan elements so that a dependent collection element (Lot Number) precedes the collection element it depends on (Item). In this case, as you enter results, the Lot Number field remains disabled until Item results are entered.
