Define which analysers are active
Via the IDEXX VetLab Station Integration settings page, you may enable or disable analysers. For most practices, this will be a quick one-off step, upon initial configuration.
On the settings page ( > General Settings > IDEXX), active analysers are shown by a green tick (
), inactive analysers will have a grey tick (
). Below, we see that the Catalyst One and ProCyte One analysers are both enabled, and the Catalyst DX Chemistry is disabled.
To change the state, simply click the tick!
Define which tests (or panels) are active
Via the IDEXX VetLab Station Integration settings page, you may enable or disable individual tests or panels. For most practices, this will be a quick one-off step, upon initial configuration.

Change the order of which analysers are shown
