Department wants just ONE test to show Unrec'd

I have a department that wants all tests to show up once rec'd and one test to show up unrec'd and rec'd. To me it doesn't seem possible to filter out unrec'd tests with the filters.

The simplest way to achieve this would be to use the 'UNLESS' operator in the filter. So you would setup a filter to exclude all tests of status U (unreceived), and add UNLESS test = whatever.
So for example if they want to exclude all unreceived tests except for CBCA the filter would look like this:

And the output would look like this:

If they later on decide they want to see some other unreceived test, you could add those tests on to the end of the filter using the OR operator:
...UNLESS test = CBCA OR test = CARDIAC OR test = ABG

Hope that helps, let me know if you have any more questions regarding filters and thanks for using the forum!
