Introduction
LabLynx enables you to edit test parameter information. A test parameter is a data-capturing object required for reporting purposes. You can use test parameters to collect information that is required by laboratory management for various purposes. For each test, you can assign one to “n” parameters.
System Administrators use LabLynx ELab to add test parameters for use in tests.
