The Home Screen is made up of two columns of customizable widgets. A "widget" is just a generic term for a mini app within VetView that performs a single specific task, like displaying the time or showing your assigned tests. Your school or lab may also have an informational widget that displays notices or other important information (like our Master Branch test system in the example shot below.) This informational widget cannot be closed, but all other widgets can be opened and closed and rearranged as you wish.  Image Removed

The Test Search widget allows you to display types of tests in the system based on the lab, the section of the lab, the type of work, and the specific test. This level of granularity is highly depending on how your lab is set up, and not all labs will allow for every option.
The selected options can be Added to the screen, and then they will display on the widget every time you log in, so you can track any special tests that required additional procedures in your section.

The Accession Tags widget lets you monitor accessions independent of tests or labs based on tags on the accession itself. For example, you can have tests that are desginated for a remote location utilize tags to differentiate them from accessions that are performed at the main labs.
Multiple tags can be displayed on this widget at once.

Monitoring - Memory
The Monitoring - Memory widget is a tool intended for system administrators or IT help desk personnel who need to keep an eye on the server resources. VetView has known issues with memory creep (to be resolved in a future release that includes an upgrade to our Java version) and performance problems can become apparent when a server's maximum memory is used up. Display the Monitoring - Memory widget when performance problems appear, to verify that the issue is not server performance related.

Monitoring -
% CPU
Similarly to the Monitoring Memory widget, the Monitoring - %CPU widget is intended for IT professionals who need to monitoring the performance of the VetView system. In Labs, extremely large accession may take a long time to process, and can take up CPU processing power. When performance problems appear, check this widget to see if there may be some accession or other process running that is impacting other parts of the system.

Accession Search
The Accession Search widget allows you to search for an accession directly (similar to the Accession search at the top of every screen.) This feature allows you to get a preview of the accession without having to view the whole thing, for example if all you want to know is the status of the accession. The search also supports partial search strings, if you want to check based on a prefix or suffix.

The Client Search widget allows you to perform a complete or partial search based on the client's first name, last name, account number, or business name. Use this tool to find a client if you already know this information, rather than having to load the full client search screen.
