To mark a lab inactive, follow the workflow above to land on the ‘Laboratory’ screen.

LaboratoryThe ‘Lab Profile’ tab will be displayed.

Disable the ‘Active’ checkbox.

When ‘Active’ checkbox is disabled, the ‘Show Orders and Results’ checkbox will be enabled.

This will provide users with the option to choose whether to make the orders and results associated with the selected lab to be visible or not.

The ‘Status’ column on the Laboratory page displays the status of the lab as Active/Inactive depending on what it is marked. All inactive labs are, by default, moved to the end.

When searching for labs using the ‘Laboratory’ drop-down, labs marked as inactive are highlighted in red. Furthermore, messages from inactive labs queued in the pending bucket are hidden.

This ensures that users face no confusion while placing orders.
