Manual templates

Manual Templates – LIS Module

The Manual Templates section allows you to customize the appearance and structure of laboratory documents, such as lab orders and test results, as well as manage barcode settings and integrations with external laboratory systems. These templates define the standard print layout for all laboratory documentation generated by the system.

Settings > Laboratory Settings

Inside the Laboratory Settings, you will find five tabs to manage templates and related configurations:

1. Order Tab – Lab Orders Template

This tab allows you to configure the template used for printing or generating laboratory orders.

• Length: Set the barcode length for proper label alignment.

(Used for physical labeling of samples in your laboratory workflow.)

4. Import from Excel Tab – Bulk Upload of Dictionaries

This section allows you to import multiple LIS dictionaries via an Excel file to speed up setup or bulk updates.

• Supported dictionaries:

  • Equipment

  • Containers

  • Drivers

  • Lab test groups

  • Lab Tests

  • Tests (physical)

  • Units

  • Biomaterials

  • Norms

• Steps:

  1. Prepare the file using the required format (download template available).

  2. Click Upload File.

  3. The system processes the data and updates or adds entries to your LIS dictionaries.

5. Driver Tab – External Laboratory Manager Connection

This tab is used to connect your LIS to an external Laboratory Manager system.

• Driver GUID:
