Add or Edit a Generic or Client-Defined Test

1 In the menu bar, do one of the following:

• To add or edit a generic test, click Setup > Generic Req Tests.

• To add or edit a client-defined test, click Setup > Client-Defined Tests.

Notes:   • The Setup menu appears only if you can place orders with your current lab. • The Generic Req Tests menu item appears only if at least one of your assigned clients at your current lab supports generic orders. • The Client-Defined Tests menu item appears only if you are accessing a non-electronic lab that supports client‑defined tests.

2 In the Client list, click the client for which you want to add or edit a test.

For generic tests, this list includes only those clients that support generic orders.

3 To add or edit a generic test, in the Laboratory list, click the name of the appropriate generic lab.

4 In the Test Code box, type the order code for the test that you want to add or edit, and then press Tab.

If that code already exists in the system, the current name and status appear automatically.

5 In the Test Description box, type the name of the test.

6 In the Status list, click Active if you want to be able to order this test, or click Inactive if you do not want to be able to order it at this time.

Note: If you inactivate a test that is currently included among your favorites, that test will no longer appear in any affected groups. However, it will reappear when you reactivate it.

7 Click Save.

8 When the confirmation message appears, click OK.
