Microorganism Reporting File format

Rows with microorganism names that are not of interest can be deleted. However, the entire tiered reporting group for certain viruses must be included to preserve tiered reporting logic (if desired). Membership in a tiered reporting group means that a hierarchical relationship is pre-built into the database and the most granular tier level passing reporting thresholds is reported. For example, if Influenza B virus (B/Victoria/2/87-like) or Influenza B virus (B/Yamagata/16/88-like) are reported in a sample then the less granular Influenza B virus reporting name will NOT be reported. See the "Has Tiered Reporting" and "Reporting Tier" columns of the "Microorganisms" table in the Panel Summary for RPIP, RVOP/RVEK, VSP, and VSP V2 to select and see which viruses are reported as part of a tiered reporting group.
