Order Components Master File

The Order Components master file stores units and reference range data for individual tests. This means that you can manually add or modify lab components in the Order Components master file. Components make up the actual test. Therefore, after creating a test in the Order Test master file, add components to the appropriate test. If you are entering the test results manually, the Order Components master file ensures that once matched with the test, the master file automatically populates the fields in the result section of the Edit Results dialog box. All you must enter is the result and appropriate flag. Everything else populates because of the Order Components master file. The information included in the Order Components master file is a System ID, a key to identify the test, a description, a code for the performing entity, units associated with the test, and the acceptable value range for results from the test.
