xLab Order Entry Setup
xLab supports an extensive customization feature for Order Entry that allows you to set what Fields appear, in some cases default values, and whether a field is required or not. Order Entry Setup has four tabs, one for each Order Entry tab and the test selection.
General Overview
Each tab lists the available fields on that tab and the ability to set the fields parameters;
- Required - If checked this field is required and Order Entry will not proceed until a valid value is entered
- Default Value - If a default value is available the choices will appear in a list to the right where the user can select one
- Visable - If checked the Field is displayed on Order Entry, if not checked the field does not appear on Order Entry
- Tab Order - set the sequence order for each field on Order Entry
- Prompt - The text that appears to the left of the field (allows for custom prompts)
- Error Text - If a field is in error, custom text that can be displayed
Demographics, Encounter, and Sample Tabs work exactly the same (with of course different Fields)

Test Selection
The Test Selection Tab is used to set what Tests are visable and orderable on the Order Entry Screen.
Adding aTest: To add a Test, find the Test in the list to the right and select it. Then Click on the cell where you wish the Test code to appear. That's it!
Tests may be removed simply by clicking on the Test code.
