<h1>New Lab Test</h1>
<p class="classname">
Add a new lab test. Options are:
</p>
<ol id="id">
<li>Field label</li>
<li>Test name</li>
<li>Lab section</li>
<li>Test type</li>
<li>Results</li>
<li>Result type</li>
<li>Permitted sample type</li>
<li>Active</li>
</ol>
<h4>Field label</h4>
<p class="classname">
How the new lab test will be displayed on web pages (eg BCL2-E17).
</p>
<h4>Test name</h4>
<p class="classname">
Internal (private) name for lab test. Will not appear on web pages.
Must be unique to particular lab section, and cannot contain spaces (eg bcl2_e17).
Different lab sections can have the same test name.
</p>
<h4>Lab section</h4>
<p class="classname">
Parent lab section for this test. There must be at least 1 lab section already
defined.
</p>
<h4>Test type</h4>
<p class="classname">
Individual event (test, probe, single protocol, etc) or collection of events (panel).
</p>
<h4>Results</h4>
<p class="classname">
Does the test/panel need to store a result?
</p>
<h4>Result type</h4>
<p class="classname">
Only required if Results value is 'yes'. What type of result is required (date,
datetime, free text, drop-down options, numerical value, etc).
</p>
<!--
<ul>
<li>
Select 'checkbox' for tests which are intended to carry request status
information, eg new request, test pending, test complete.
</li>
<li>Select 'textbox' for tests intended to carry short summary information,
such as dates, audit summaries, etc, up to about 20 characters in length.
</li>
<li>Select 'textarea' for fields intended to contain more extensive
information, such as sets of intructions and details of any local
modification of selected tests. <em>NOTE</em>: this field type changes
the way information is displayed during the allocation of initial screen
tests and should <b>only</b> be used for fields which are not tests
themselves but are intended to display instruction-type information.
</li>
</ul>
<p class="classname">
The field type can be edited later without any change to the information
already contained in the test field. This parameter only affects the
visual layout of information displayed in the templates.
</p>
-->
<h4>Permitted sample types</h4>
<p class="classname">
What sample types are supported by the test/panel. The parent lab section
has a default sample type set (eg Flow cytometry defaults to liquid sample
types only). Default sample type(s) can be overriden here if required.
</p>
<h4>Active</h4>
<p class="classname">
Flag for whether the test is currently active. Defaults to 'yes'. Can be
switched on and off as required without loss of existing data. This parameter
only affects whether the test is available at the time of test allocation
on a new request.
