We’ve enhanced the Screening Excel export in EasySLR by adding two new columns:

• QC Status

• QC Done By

This update makes the screening download more comprehensive and allows teams to access key Quality Control (QC) information directly within the screening sheet itself.

What’s New?

QC Status Column

The Screening Excel file will now include the QC status for each article.

This helps users quickly identify:

• Whether QC has been completed

• Articles pending QC

• QC-reviewed records within the workflow

This improves visibility into the progress and completion status of Quality Control activities directly from the screening export.

QC Done By Column

A new QC Done By column has also been added to display the reviewer who performed the QC activity for each article.

This allows teams to:

• Track reviewer-level QC activity

• Identify who completed QC on specific records

• Improve auditability and reviewer accountability

• Simplify internal tracking and reporting workflows

Why This Enhancement Was Added

Previously, QC-related information was already available as part of the dedicated QC report.

However, teams often rely heavily on the Screening Excel sheet for:

• Reviewer tracking

• Decision analysis

• Workflow reporting

• Offline review and auditing

To make the Screening Excel export more complete and reduce dependency on multiple files, QC information has now been added directly into the screening sheet as well.

This ensures that users can access both screening and QC-related details in a single consolidated export.

Key Benefits

More Comprehensive Screening Export

Users now get both screening decisions and QC details together in one file.

Easier Reviewer Tracking

Teams can easily identify:

• Which reviewer completed QC

• Which decisions were overturned

• QC coverage across the project

Simplified Reporting & Auditing

The enhanced export makes it easier to:

• Conduct internal audits

• Review QC workflows

• Share consolidated reports with stakeholders

without needing to combine multiple reports manually.

Improved Workflow Transparency

The addition of QC metadata improves visibility into the review process and helps teams better understand reviewer-level activity.

Reduced Operational Overhead

Teams no longer need to separately refer to QC reports for basic QC tracking information, reducing manual reconciliation efforts.

This enhancement is aimed at making the Screening Excel download more informative, centralised, and aligned with real-world evidence synthesis and review management workflows.
