To export a laboratory definition, you need the 'Export laboratory' permission. This feature has a database-wide scope.
Select Tasks > Laboratory > Export. The Export Laboratory window is displayed.
Select the laboratory whose definition you wish to export. Laboratories are listed in alphabetic order.
Click Export.
Specify the name of the file. The default file name is derived from the laboratory definition name.
Select the location to which you wish to export the file. The default location is the Out Folder of the application folder.
Click Save. The file is exported. The file contains the laboratory code and description, a set of clinical test groups, the clinical tests within those groups (including units of measurement) and the normal ranges for each test.
You can either export another laboratory definition, or click Close to close the Export box.
The exported file can be imported into a MACRO database of any format, regardless of the type of database from which it has been exported.
If you need to send a new or updated laboratory definition to a remote site, you must distribute it.
