Settings of the IDEXX VetLab Station integration that control automatic changes

A practice manager can configure the IDEXX VetLab Station integration to automatically change records and information that are applicable to the integration’s diagnostic tests. The automatic changes can help decrease the manual work that is necessary to keep accurate diagnostic tests and accurate cost information in your ezyVet site.

To do the configuration for automatic changes, use the settings that show in the Auto-update settings section of the integration settings screen:
Settings that show in the Auto-update settings section
Supplied diagnostic test
A diagnostic test that is available directly in ezyVet from a diagnostics integration.
Custom supplied diagnostic test
A diagnostic test that a customer configures and that has a relation to one or many supplied diagnostic tests.
Diagnostic product
An ezyVet product record that has Type set to Diagnostic in its configuration. ezyVet uses diagnostic products for automatic invoicing of diagnostics. Thus, a diagnostic product has the pricing information of a related diagnostic test. A diagnostic product usually has a relation with a supplied diagnostic test, a custom supplied diagnostic test, or a site diagnostic test.
Diagnostics supplier
An organization that gives diagnostics products and services (for example, diagnostic tests and diagnostic imaging).
This table gives each setting and its function:
Setting Function
Auto-update supplied diagnostic names when imported from web service If you set Auto-update supplied diagnostic names when imported from web service to YES: ezyVet changes the names of its supplied diagnostic tests to the names of the related tests of the diagnostics supplier.
Auto-enable new supplied diagnostics when imported from web service If you set Auto-enable new supplied diagnostics when imported from web service to YES: When the diagnostics supplier adds a new diagnostic test, ezyVet automatically makes it available as an enabled supplied diagnostic test.
If you set Auto-enable new supplied diagnostics when imported from web service to NO: When the diagnostics supplier adds a new diagnostic test, ezyVet automatically makes it available as a disabled supplied diagnostic test.
Note: If you set Auto-enable new supplied diagnostics when imported from web service to YES when you configure the integration for the first time, the integration enables all supplied diagnostic tests.
