The
Special Fields
menu, displaying example assay-specific fields
These fields are:
•
PDF Field
– In the output PDF, these are blank fields which the user can complete using standard PDF viewers (Adobe Reader,
Apple OS X Preview, etc.). These fields can be used to enter any desired information about the sample, including HIPAA-protected
Personally Identifiable Information (PII) such as patient name or date of birth. The edited PDF will need to be downloaded and saved
to preserve such user-entered content.
•
Run Set ID
– The Run Set ID entered on the
Create New Run Set
page.
•
Sample ID
– The Sample ID entered on the
Create New Run Set
page.
•
Run Date
– The date that the sample was run on the DA. This date is automatically recorded by the nCounter Dx Analysis System.
•
Comments
– The Memo entered with the sample on the
Create New Run Set
page.
• Remaining fields are assay-specific parameters (e.g., Tumor Size and Node Count). Your specific assay may or may not have user-
entered parameters.
NOTE:
After initial placement, images and tables may be further customized or refined by modifying certain properties. These
properties are accessed by right-clicking (control-clicking on systems without a right mouse button) on the object, then
selecting the appropriate items from the presented menu.
At the bottom of the text entry area are a pair of tabs,
Design
and
HTML
, (
FIGURE 4.49
) that allow advanced users to switch between the
default interactive design mode and directly editing the underlying HTML. The HTML editor may be used by advanced users to fine-tune
layouts or apply affects not directly available through the interactive design mode.

The
Preview
button at the bottom of the page functions identically to the Preview button at the top of the page. The
Next
button provides
an easy way to move from tab to tab when initially entering a customized report; additionally, users may directly select the tab they desire
to edit.
