You may update multiple items at once by editing the row and then selecting the checkbox. When you’re done, make sure to click “Save all” so you don’t lose your progress. You do not need to enter all results at once. Additionally, you can only choose one result per test item.

Edit the panel, review your sent/received dates as required. Then, under the “Ready to Create Diagnoses” column, click choose “Yes” and save (check mark on the left).

10. Once you save the record, the database will generate Diagnoses and a Procedure for your dog based on the genetic test panel results.

Important: The database runs a script each night to update the genetic results of your dog’s progeny based on the genetic test panel data. If you make an error in your genetic test panel data, please contact us ASAP so we can fix it and prevent the database from incorrectly altering your dog’s progeny data.
