Graph Zoom

Multiple lab values can be difficult to read if they are plotted closely on the graph. The new zoom feature allows you to select a section of a graph and zoom into that section to get a better view of the multiple points of data. 

This feature is available in both the Labs module and the Patient Timeline.

To zoom into a graph:

1. Click and drag your cursor over the portion of the graph you want to zoom in on.
   
   
    
2. Release your mouse button to zoom in. Click the Reset zoom button to reset the graph to its original size.
   
   

 

Setting Your Default Labs View

You can select which Lab view you want displayed by default when you first access the Labs module. The easiest way to customize your default Lab view is from the Lab module Preference icon. 

To configure the default view: 

1. Click on the Preference icon from any Lab module.
   
   
   
   The Preferences window will display the Default View option.
    
2. Click the Default View dropdown list to select the Labs tab you want displayed when you first access the Labs module. 
    
3. Click ‘Save & Apply’ to save your preferences. This will ensure that the next time you access the Lab module, your selected Lab view will display automatically.
