Working with Laboratory Locations







Previous Topic  Next Topic 

To enter, update, or delete a laboratory location, complete the following steps from the AWARDS Home screen:

    1. Click Charts from the left-hand menu, and then click Medical.  The Medical fly-out menu is displayed.
    2. Click Laboratory Locations.  The Laboratory Locations index page is displayed.

  TIP: When working on the index page, records are easily accessible using the following tools and navigation features:

"Show Records" display options - By default the index includes all laboratory locations.  To limit display to only those records that can be deleted, click the Available For Deletion radio button under "Show Records" in the left-hand menu.  Laboratory locations can only be deleted if they are not linked to a diagnostic test in the Diagnostic Tests feature.

Sorting options - By default, records in the index are sorted alphabetically by laboratory location name.  Click a column header in the data table to sort the index by a different type of data.  Click the heading again to reverse the sort.  

Navigation options - 10 records are displayed on the page by default. To access records on subsequent pages of the index (when applicable), click the arrows in the bottom-right corner of the table.  To display 25 or 50 records at a time, click the Show drop-down to the left of the record count, also in the bottom-right corner, and make a selection.

Once you select records on the index, a count of how many total records are selected is displayed in the action bar. Selections are maintained while moving from one page of the index to the next; meaning, you can select records on the first page (showing records 1-10 by default) and move to the next page (displaying records 11-20) without losing the selections made on the first page. Links for Show all selected records and Uncheck All are available beneath the index table for easy navigation.

Search and filtering options - Search field is available on the action bar along with a corresponding Filter by drop-down list.  To search the contents of the index (including those records not currently displayed on the page), enter a value in the Search field.  The index is automatically updated as you type.  To further narrow your search, use the Filter by selection to indicate whether the search should look at data in "All Columns" (the default) or a specific column.

ReporBuilder access - The Laboratory Locations ReportBuilder link on the left-hand menu bar provides a shortcut to access the ReportBuilder for this feature.  For instructions on using that ReportBuilder, click here. 

In addition, note that laboratory locations are shared across ALL programs in AWARDS.

   Update an existing laboratory location record - To do so, click the record to be updated, or click the checkbox to the left of that record and then click the edit icon from the action bar above the laboratory locations table.  The data entry page is displayed.  Make changes to the information on this page as needed, and then click Save.  The laboratory location record is saved, and a confirmation page is displayed.

   View or print an existing laboratory location record - To do so, click the checkbox to the left the record to be viewed/printed, and then click the view icon from the action bar above the laboratory locations table.  A read-only version of the record is displayed and can be printed as needed using your browser's print option.

   Delete an existing laboratory location record - To do so, click the checkbox(es) to the left of the record(s) to be deleted, and then click the delete icon from the action bar above the laboratory locations table.  A confirmation message is displayed.  Click OK to proceed with the deletion.  The selected record(s) are deleted and the updated index is displayed.

  TIP: Prior to selecting records to be deleted, click Available for Deletion from the left-hand menu.  The index is automatically refreshed to show only those records that can be deleted (those that are not linked to a diagnostic test in the Diagnostic Tests feature).

   Return to the Laboratory Locations index - To do so, click the To Index icon from the action bar while working in a laboratory location record to return to the index page.  You can also return to the index page at any time by clicking Laboratory Locations from the breadcrumbs trail below the AWARDS navigation bar.

The process of working with laboratory locations is now complete.
