, Receiving behavior (2.7) - ANSWER Specify whether specimens should be
received in their destination lab or into the lab you are logged into (the default
and preferred option).

time should be calculated when transferring a test from one lab to another.
1. initially Received Instant (When the test is initially received by the primary
lab)
2. Last Received Instant (When the test was last received in the final lab).
Default Turnaround Time (TAT) Values - ANSWER The turnaround time you
enter in the TAT field indicates the length of time that can elapse before results
are expected for tests with a specific priority.
Clinical Administration - ANSWER Set of text-based menus used to configure
apps (mouse is not working in this sector).
Administrators employ this.
Hyperspace - ANSWER Graphical user interface (GUI) for configuring and
performing end-user operations.
Clinical Administration and Hyperspace - ANSWER Through these two
