To record an alias for a specimen collected from a patient:

1. Open the Specimen Detail window for the specimen for which you want to record the alias. See Viewing/Editing a Specimen in a Patient Record or Viewing/Editing a Specimen that is Associated with a Medical Event for instructions on how to do this.

2. Click on the + button above the Specimen Alias grid on that window. The Sample Alias Detail window will open.

3. Fill in the alias value in the Alias field.

4. Select the type of alias in the Alias Type drop-down field. The Is Identifier? field (which is grayed out and cannot be edited directly) will automatically be filled in with Yes or No depending on the Alias Type selected.

5. Click the Save button to save the new alias to the specimen record. The Sample Alias Detail window will close and the new alias will appear in the Specimen Alias grid on the Specimen Detail window.

To close the Sample Alias Detail window without adding an alias to the specimen record, click the Cancel button instead of the Save button.
