Installation
Antigen Plus will supply your IT department with the installer file and documentation necessary to deploy the program to an application server or to individual workstations. once you are set up (these procedures are covered in our Installation Guides that comes with the installer).
For Lab Administrators Only
First Use and Set-up:
The first person to use Antigen Plus will have administrator privileges and should accomplish a few tasks before others use the program. Your IT will have installed the program according to the instructions in the Installation Guide. If someone other than you has run the program, you should have that person assign you administrative rights within the program. Once you are logged in as an administrator, these are the steps:
-
Go to Options/System Options/Printing and type the name of the lab the way you want it to appear on any printouts
-
Go to Options/Customize result columns and set up the columns in the way you would like for general use (users can change these for individual work-ups, but this what they will always start with).
-
Go to Options/ Exclusion criteria and set the number of rule-outs for each antigen to exclude the corresponding antibody.
-
Go to User/Security settings and set the time-out parameters. If you are not using Windows accounts for users to log in, then set the password requirements, then go to User/Account settings and set up your staff with usernames and passwords. All of these functions are described in the Menus section below.
