Overview:

The "Hide Prices" feature is a new user-level setting that, when enabled, completely restricts the visibility of test prices and related financial functionalities for specific lab login users. This is crucial for maintaining the confidentiality of sensitive pricing information, such as B2B rates, discounts, and bundled offers.

The "Hide Prices" flag can be found and enabled/disabled for individual users within User Management → Registration → Billing.

When this flag is enabled for a specific lab login user, the following restrictions will be applied:

      • Bill Settlement
      • Invoicing

  • PDF Changes:

Impact:

Users with the "Hide Prices" flag enabled will experience a significantly restricted view of the system, with all pricing information and related financial functionalities concealed or removed. This will primarily affect roles such as registration staff, ensuring they can perform their duties without access to sensitive financial details.


This comprehensive set of changes ensures that pricing information is effectively hidden from designated lab login users across the entire application, enhancing data security and confidentiality.
