When you manually record lab results, you can edit or delete individual lab results and you can edit the category before saving the lab report.

📌Note: Once you save the lab report, you can no longer edit any of the fields. You can only archive the entire report. For more information, refer to Archiving patient files.

1. Before saving the lab report, click the pencil icon to edit the lab result or category for a set of lab results.

If you edit the category for an individual lab result, it is removed from the existing category and is listed under the new category. To change the category for all listed lab results, click the pencil icon beside the category name (in bold at the top of the list of results).

2. Click the trash can icon to delete a lab result. A warning message displays asking you to confirm the deletion. If you delete all results in a category, the category is also deleted.

📌Note: When you hover your cursor over the edit and delete icons, a tooltip appears and the icons change colour.

3. Save your changes to generate the lab report PDF.

📌Note: To delete a manual lab report, click the Delete icon in the top right corner when viewing a manual lab report. From the Delete Permanently window, confirm the deletion by selecting a reason such as Typo or Wrong patient from the list.
