Getting Started

The features and functions that you can use in this application vary, depending on how the lab, the client account, and your user account were configured by an administrator. For example, you might or might not be able to place orders or access patient test results.

Your user account also determines which labs you can access. (Labs are also known as performing sites.) If you can access multiple labs, you can switch from one to another—for example, if you need to view the hold list for a lab other than the one you are currently accessing. When you change labs using the Admin > Change Lab menu, you can also specify whether the selected lab should be your default lab (that is, the one that you access automatically when you log in).

After you have completed your work, you are encouraged to log out by clicking Logout in the information bar. If you do not log out, you cannot log into eLabs from another computer unless you cancel your previous session.
