Where to find it
MenuPatient Entry
The search box sits above the group list. Its hint reads [Ctrl+F] Group / Sub Group / Test, with an [F1] label and a small square beside it. It looks in test names, group names, sub group names (when the square is red) and Test Codes.
On this screen
- [Ctrl+F] Group / Sub Group / Test the search box
- [F1] searches with fewer than 3 letters

Ctrl+F, then three letters of the test, for example "tsh". - Move into the list
Press Down. You land in the group list, or in the test list if no group matched. From the group list, Right goes to the tests. - Tick and add
Space ticks the test. Right adds it. If nothing is ticked, Right adds the highlighted test.
How matching works
| You type | E-Lab finds |
|---|---|
| 3 or more letters | Groups and tests with those letters anywhere in the name. "lip" finds every test with "lip" in it. |
| 1 or 2 letters | Nothing until you press F1 (or click [F1]). |
| A Test Code | The test whose code matches exactly. Type the full code. A short code needs F1. |
| Empty box | All groups again. Clear the box with Backspace or Delete. |
The small square switches sub group search. Red: the group list also shows sub groups, indented, and matches their names. White: groups only. Click it to switch; E-Lab remembers your choice.
Keys in the group list
| Up Down PgUp PgDn | Move and show that group's tests. |
| Enter | Add every test of the highlighted group. |
| Space, then Space | First ticks Select All, second adds them. |
| Right | Over to the test list. |
| Backspace or Left | Back to the search box. Up on the top row does the same. |
CautionAfter you press Ctrl once for any shortcut, for example Ctrl+C, the next "f" you type in any box sends the cursor to the test search box. If that happens while typing a name, click back into the name box and type the letter again.
Good to knowPart of a name can match several tests. Read the Final List before you save. The same test is never added twice.
