Patterns in VetView are used for cultures, either manually performed or using a machine. 

Patterns are a unique Result Type that can be added to tests under the Result Setup screen.  When added there, the pattern will be listed under the Results tab on an accession, with any of the selected value list pattern items available to choose.

Patterns List

When you first load this screen, the list of existing Patterns will appear in the left panel.
