Main Screen

Work from the Tests page

After test creation, the Tests screen becomes the main working screen.

  • Use the date, scan type, and centre filters to reduce the list.
  • Open the edit action to correct test details.
  • Use row actions to open DICOM, Cross Sections, report PDF, or WhatsApp share when visible.
  • If your role shows it, use the radiologist allotment action carefully.
