Activate a Future Order

You can activate a test order that is scheduled for recurrence. Orders can be activated if the scheduled date is reached and you want to modify or place the order.

To activate an order, do the following:

  1. Click Orders from the LabOnline main menu, then select View Orders from the drop-down list.
  2. Select the Scheduled display quick filter on the View Orders grid header.

  3. Click the Edit link in the Chain of Custody column for the order you would like to activate. The order has to show a status of Scheduled in the Order Status column of the View Orders overview grid.

    A Confirmation window opens with the option to edit just this order or the entire series.

  4. In the Confirmation window, click Just this Order.

    If you are not editing the entire series and the order is scheduled to be collected within the next 30 days, you will be able to activate or cancel the order. If you want to activate an order beyond the 30 day mark, you would have to first edit the order and change the expected collection date.
  5. Click the Activate Order link on the top right of the page.
  6. Click Save and Submit.
