Object Hierarchy
There can be any number of objects.
For example:
Request Form
Tissue Pot
Cassette
Slide
The relationship of the objects is parent and child. The Request form is the parent of the Tissue Pot and
the Tissue Pot is the parent of the cassettes etc.
The numbering system used to reference these objects is normally well defined.
For example:
Request Form
= CaseNo
Tissue Pot
= Suffix1
Cassette
= S Suffix2
Slide
= S S Level
The numbering system will normally uniquely identify each item by adding a suffix or other data element
to create a unique reference ID.
The Object hierarchy can be used to filter data coming in from the Gateway.
For example:
If the LIS does not control the flow of slide data and the user wants to receive slide data from one
cassette at a time the Slide and Cassette hierarchy can be setup and used to filter the data.
The Group option would need to be turned on (Printer menu).
The Object setup is used to identify objects by their data items. An image can be set for each
object type. This image will be displayed where objects are searched or displayed in tracking.
