| Report Studio design (.json or .html) | Opens in the Print Preview window with Print, Copies:, WhatsApp, Email and Close. Follows the group ticks and Hide Pending Tests, and prints the Lab No. with your prefix. The Test Report window stays open. |

Good to knowBoth kinds of design follow the group ticks and Hide Pending Tests, so pick whichever design looks best. After a classic .rpt print the screen is cleared; open the patient from the list to print again. A pending report opens with Print greyed out, but you can still reach the panel by saving and answering Yes.
Add a classic .rpt design from the panel
The panel has a small box to register a Crystal design you received from your partner: type a Report Title, click Browse RPT File, tick Show On Top to make it the default, and click Apply. E-Lab asks Fill up Title or Select RPT File if one is missing.
