​
Overview

Reports are formatted documents that contain finalized test results for an accession. They are the primary deliverable from the lab to the ordering organization.

​
Creating a Report

1

Ensure all results are finalized

All test orders in the accession must have finalized results before a report can be generated. Check the accession to confirm there are no pending or in-progress tests.
2

Navigate to the accession

Open the accession you want to generate a report for.
3

Generate the report

Click the Generate Report button. bLIS will compile all finalized results into a formatted PDF document.
4

Review the report

Preview the generated report to verify that all results, subject information, and lab details are correct.

​
Distributing Reports

Once a report is generated, you can distribute it in several ways:
Send the report via email to designated contacts. bLIS can send notifications with the report attached or linked for secure download.

​
Automatic Distribution

Your lab administrator can configure automatic report distribution rules:
  • Reports can be automatically emailed to designated contacts when generated
  • Notification preferences can be set per organization
  • Multiple contacts can receive the same report
Automatic distribution settings are managed by your lab administrator. Contact them if you need to change who receives reports for your organization.

​
Report History

bLIS keeps a record of all generated reports. You can:
  • View previously generated reports for any accession
  • Track when reports were generated and distributed
  • Regenerate a report if needed (for example, after an amended result)
If a result is amended after a report has been generated, you’ll need to generate a new report to reflect the updated values. The previous report remains in the history for audit purposes.
