                              WebEDR Laboratory Quick Reference Guide
 The Web Electronic Data Review (WebEDR) is a Web-based system that performs automated data processing on laboratory-submitted Electronic
 Data Deliverables  (EDDs). This system enables users to perform technical audits on data, as well as measure and analyze Environmental
 Response Laboratory Network (ERLN) and other data deliverables against Measurement Quality Objectives (MQOs). This laboratory guide covers
 the file upload, Self Inspection, and Final Submission processes. For further details on how to use this application, refer to the WebEDR Online
 Help, User Manual, or the training videos.
