Open Logging
This feature is helpful in examples like Point of Care Testing. The user performing the task may not have access or use LabLogs (such as a Nurse), but QC needs to be documented for a newly opened kit. The User can then enter the Nurse’s information as completing the task.
There are a few options when using open logging. Select which option works best for your facility.
Disable Open Logging
This option prevents users from being able to use Open Logging.
Steps to Disable Open Logging
Navigate to Menu > Administration > System Tab
Scroll down to the bottom and deselect Enable Open Logging
Select Save
Enable Open Logging/Password Required
This option allows your facility to have open logging but only on selected Instruments. Using the Point of Care example above, All instruments would require a user with a password to complete the task except on instruments that are designated for Point of Care testing. These Instruments will allow a user to enter another Name for “Completed By”.
