Compounds
Overview
Use this Data Type to record the chemical composition of compounds. It lets you specify minimum and maximum values and record laboratory tests. This Data Type can be used in Items and in Transaction Items.
- Items: Used to record the Max and Min values of the chemical composition.
- Transactions: Used to record the result of laboratory tests, which is compared to the minimum and maximum values.
- Standalone: The module is freestanding and can be added to the Menu by selecting Type = Fixed, Module = Compounds.
Module Layout
The Compound module consists of:
