Templates

Connected Insights requires you to provide a report template for each test definition to ensure consistency of reports produced across cases. This section summarizes the actions that can be performed with report templates to customize the look and content of PDF reports to your specifications.

  • Create several report templates and use them in more than one test definition.

  • Use a default report template provided by Connected Insights or customize the report as needed. These customizations include: – Changing the logo of the laboratory. – Changing the report name. – Reformatting the page and date. – Removing parts of the report related to the Nothing Reported section. This modification might be needed if the laboratory prefers not to report pertinent negatives. – Adding sample information alongside case and subject information. – Changing text in the Supplemental Information section.

For more information on the customization options, refer to Report Customizations.
