View Chains of Custody/Requisition Forms

If chains of custody or requisition forms are attached to workorders, samples, or patients, links appear in the Chain of Custody columns. When a single chain is attached, the link displays the chain identifier. If more than one chain is attached, the link displays "View." When you submit an order to the lab, a chain of custody document automatically generates. You can view the chain from the detail page for the order.

Note: Because LabOnline is customizable based on laboratory needs, some of the options referenced in the steps and images below may not be available or may be named differently. Direct any questions to your laboratory.
