Customize Your User Profile
1 In the information bar, click Admin > User Profile.
|
Caution! If you make changes on any tab, you can restore your last saved settings by clicking Reset. This restores the settings on all tabs, not just the tab that is currently active. For example, if you change the settings on the General tab, change your label printer on the Label Printer tab, and then click Reset, the changes you made on both the General and Label Printer tabs are undone. |
2 On the General tab, do one or more of the following:
• In the Set Default Landing Page list, click the page that you want to view as soon as you log into eLabs.
The available options vary, depending on which features you can use.
• If you selected the Do not ask me next time check box on any confirmation message, click Show All Confirmations to once again display the confirmation message when you perform any of the following actions:
• Delete a group of favorites
• Delete all favorites from a group (only via the Order Entry page
• Delete a custom profile
• Delete a held or scheduled order
• Expire a standing order
If you have not selected the Do not ask me next time check box on any confirmation message, or if you previously clicked the Show All Confirmations button, this button is inactive, and all confirmation messages will appear.
|
Note: Clicking this button restores the confirmation messages only when you perform these actions via the Lab Orders tab. |
• If you are an IOP user, in the Defective Order Email box, confirm the email address that is recorded for you by default, or type a new email address, as needed. This is the email address that eLabs will use to deliver the defective orders list (if any exist) for the current day.
• If you are an IOP user, select either or both of the Deliver Worklist AM and/or Deliver Worklist PM check boxes to indicate the time of day you prefer to receive the defective order email.
• To display the Print dialog box automatically when you put an order on hold for a Quest Diagnostics Patient Service Center (PSC), select the Auto-Launch Print Dialog For PSC Hold Letter check box.
If you clear this check box, the Print dialog box does not appear automatically. To display it, you must take the appropriate action on the PSC Lab Order Confirmation Letter dialog box. (The appropriate action varies, depending on which version of Adobe Reader you have.)
|
Note: This option does not appear |
• To display the Print dialog box automatically when you print the requisition log, when you reprint a requisition from the requisition log, or when you release a schedule or print the draw list or pending requisitions from the Draw List page, select the Auto-Launch Print Dialog For Requisition Log check box.
If you clear this check box, the Print dialog box does not appear automatically. To display it, you must take the appropriate action when the data that you want to print appears.
|
Note: This option does not apply to printing the log summary or log graph. |
• To display generic orders in the lists of held and scheduled orders, as well as on the Patient Search - Advanced Results dialog box, select the Include Generic (Held, Scheduled, Standing) check box.
If you clear this check box, only orders placed with non-generic labs appear in those locations.
This setting has no effect on your ability to place generic orders or view them in the requisition log.
• If you are having problems printing PDF files (for example, if the text in a printed requisition or report is garbled), select the Print PDF As Image check box.
If you clear this option, PDF files are handled like documents rather than images.
• To hide the Client Favorites group in the Diagnosis and Order Codes areas on the Order Entry page, select the Hide Client Favorites/Recently Ordered check box.
If you clear this check box, the Client Favorites groups appear.
|
Notes: • The Recently Ordered groups appear on a page that is not available to Quest Diagnostics or contracted phlebotomists. • Typically, you can create only 20 groups of favorites, and the Client Favorites group counts toward that limit. However, if you select this check box, create 20 groups, and then clear this check box, none of the groups that you created are removed. All 21 groups are available. |
• To suppress Java-related security warnings during login, select the Use Alternate Java Printer Control check box.
If you clear this check box, those messages continue to appear.
This option applies only if you are using Java 1.7 update 45 or newer. If you are using a previous version, selecting or clearing this check box has no effect.
• To have the Print Specimen Requirements check box be selected by default when you place an order, select the Print Specific Specimen Requirements Page check box.
If you clear this check box, the Print Specimen Requirements check box will be cleared by default.
In either case, you can always select or clear that check box for a specific order.
|
Note: Depending on how your user account was set up by an administrator, this check box might be selected and inactive. You can still clear the Print Specimen Requirements check box during order entry, but by default, it will always be selected. |
• To be able to retrieve patient demographic information from an identification card that contains a magnetic strip (such as a driver’s license), select the Use Attached Card Reader check box. This will display a Scan ID button on the Order Entry page.
If you clear this check box, the Scan ID button will not appear.
|
Note: This option does not appear if the lab does not support card scanning |
•
If you clear this check box, the collection date remains blank until you specify one.
In either case, you can always specify a different date for a particular order.
•
If you clear this check box, the collection time remains blank until you specify one.
In either case, you can always specify a different time for a particular order.
• To have the Print Attachments check box be selected by default when you place an order, select the Print Attachments Page check box.
Whether you select or clear this check box, you can always select or clear the Print Attachments Page check box for a specific order.
|
Notes: • The Print Attachments check box appears on the Order Entry page only if the lab supports this feature. • Selecting or clearing the Print Attachments Page check box may override your lab’s default setting for the Print Attachments check box on the Order Entry page. The Print Attachments check box is default cleared for labs that send requisitions electronically to an imaging system because the attachments are sent as well. The Print Attachments check box is default checked for labs that do not send electronically to an imaging system so that attachments are printed and can be scanned at the lab with the requisition. |
• To print the tests on the requisition and specimen requirements page in the same sequence that they are added to the order, select the Print Test Codes On Requisition As Entered check box.
If you clear this check box, the tests are printed in alphanumerical order by order code.
|
Note: This option does not appear for contracted phlebotomists. |
3 On the Quest Quanum Utilities tab, follow these steps:
a In the Status area, view the current version of the Quest Quanum Utilities (QQU) browser extension and application that are installed on your computer, if either or both are detected.
QQU is an application that provides add-on utilities and a browser extension that enable your browser to perform certain functions within eLabs, including DYMO LabelWriter® label printing
b In the Lab Printer area, click the Attached toggle to indicate whether there is a label printer attached (
) or not (
). If a label printer is attached, the printer name is detected automatically.
If you have multiple label printers attached to the same computer, you can type the desired printer name in the Name Override field if it is not the printer detected automatically. (The name you type must exactly match the name used by your operating system to identify the printer.) Then click Print Test Label to ensure the lable prints to the appropriate printer.
c In the Additional Hardware area, view whether or not a scanner and/or signature pad are connected to your computer.
For Paperless PSC functionality, you must have an EPSON DS‑320 document scanner and an ePadLink ePad or ePad II signature pad. To test either device (if detected), click the Capture Test Image and/or Capture Test Signature button.
4 On the Favorites tab, select the check box next to each item that should appear in the Favorites area on the Home page.
|
Tip: You can also access the Favorites tab directly from the Home page by clicking the Organize Favorites link in the upper-right corner of the Favorites area. |
The items listed here vary, depending on which functions you can access.
If you no longer want a particular item to appear in the Favorites area, clear the check box for that item.
5 On the Default Clients tab, follow these steps:
|
Note: This tab appears only if you can access more than one client for at least one lab. In addition, if you can access only one lab, the tab name is Default Client rather than Default Clients. |
a If you can access more than one client at more than one lab, in the Lab list, click the appropriate lab.
If you can access more than one client at only one lab, the name of the lab is inactive.
This list displays all of your assigned labs for which you have more than one assigned client, even if you cannot currently work with one or more of those labs.
b In the Client list, click the client that you would like to use as your default client for the displayed lab.
|
Note: This change does not take effect until you log out and log back in. |
