Lab catalog
Requires Lab management permission. The catalog defines what can appear on a lab report: groups, sub-groups, units, and test types.Structure
Typical hierarchy:- Group (for example Hematology)
- Sub-group (optional)
- Test / analyte with units
- Reference ranges (numeric) or qualitative options
Display order
Use catalog display order so new reports list tests in the order clinicians expect. Inline help in the portal explains order for new reports. Closing a catalog create/edit dialog with unsaved fields (or refreshing the page) asks you to confirm before discarding. If someone else updated the same catalog item (or reordered the list) while you were editing, ClinZero asks you to reload or overwrite before saving.Delete unused vs deactivate
- Delete permanently removes a group, sub-group, unit, or test type that is not referenced by children or lab report results. You must type the name (or abbreviation) to confirm.
- Deactivate (edit the item and set status to Inactive) keeps the row for history and stops it from appearing in new-report lookups.
- If you try to delete something that is still referenced, ClinZero blocks the delete and offers Deactivate instead.
Reference ranges
- Numeric tests: set low/high (and gender/age rules if your catalog supports them).
- Qualitative tests: define allowed result values instead of a numeric range.
