Approving or Discarding Nominations/Reservations
Once a sample is designated as nominated or reserved for a patient and their treatment, this designation must be approved. This designation will show as 'Pending' until it is confirmed.
Once you either 'Approve' or 'Discard' the designation, the status will be updated and you can take more action from the nominee patient's page.
