To improve traceability and reduce errors during test configuration and device interfacing, LIMS now automatically displays status tags against tests across key modules. These tags help identify newly created, recently updated, or interface-sensitive tests. Here's everything you need to know.


What Are Test Status Tags?

Test status tags are visual indicators shown next to test names to notify users about:

  • ✅ Newly created tests

  • ✏️ Recently updated tests

  • ⚠️ Tests requiring device interfacing checks

These tags automatically disappear once the first report for the test is successfully dispatched.

Types of Tags & Their Meaning

✅ New Test

  • When is it shown?
    When a test is newly created and has never been billed or used.

  • Hover Message:
    "This test is newly created and has not been billed yet."

  • Tag Removal:
    Automatically removed after the test is dispatched in a report for the first time.

Also applies to all tests created for a new lab.

 Recently Updated

  • When is it shown?
    When any test detail is updated — e.g., test name, parameters, reference ranges, or units.

  • Hover Message:
    "This test was recently updated. Check Audit Trail to review the changes."

  • Tag Removal:
    Removed after the next successful report dispatch for the test.

Interfacing Check Required

  • When is it shown?
    When a test parameter with an interfacing key is modified.

  • Hover Message:
    "Test parameters have been updated. Check if this affects device interfacing."

  • Tag Removal:
    Removed after the next successful dispatch of the test that includes interfaced results.
