Questions

What people ask about getting started.

Is my patient data kept on your server?

No. The company file stays on your computer or your own SQL Server. Some features you switch on, such as QR reports, PDF Scan and Lifora, send that report or data to Solver's server when you use them.

Do I need to buy MS Office?

No. E-Lab needs the free Access Database Engine, not the Access program. Excel is needed only if you want the Excel buttons on reports.

Why did E-Lab go ahead before I chose a language?

The countdown ran out. Next time press any key during the countdown to pause it.

How do I come back here after logging in?

Click the user icon Close Company [Log Off] at the right of the main window, or press Esc on the login screen.

Do I have to type all my tests?

No. The new company already has the template's 321 tests. Edit rates and ranges, and add only what is missing. You can also import tests from Excel (chapter 2).

I changed the phone number. Do I restart E-Lab?

No. Saving reloads the details. Preview a report to confirm the new number prints.

I forgot my password.

A user with full rights resets it in Masters › Users. There is no self-reset.

Does E-Lab update by itself?

No. It updates only when you click the link, or Update now on the start or login screen.
