Adjusting exam times

When scheduling an order, the allocated time for the procedure is taken from the default time assigned when the procedure was defined. Change the time allocated to a scheduled order from the calendar.

1. Left click on the order in the main calendar. Control boxes appear at the top and bottom of the order.

2. Position the mouse over the top or bottom control box. The cursor changes to a two-sided arrow. Left click the mouse and drag the edge of the order box to increase the allocated time.

3. A pop-up window may appear prompting you to enter a reason for the change. Select a reason for making this change and click OK. This reason is recorded in the log files and available for administration reports.

4. The order box appears with hash lines while the server is confirming the new date and time. When the hash lines disappear, the operation is complete.
