Getting Started

2. 2

   Create your organization

   After verifying your email, you'll be prompted to create an organization. This is your lab entity — enter your laboratory name (e.g. “Pretoria Pathology Labs”). A URL slug will be auto-generated (e.g. pretoria-pathology-labs).

   Go to Settingsand invite staff by email. Assign roles: Admin (full access), Technologist (requests & results), or Billing (read-only billing view).

Configure Locations

Locations represent your physical collection sites or branches. You need at least one location to use the scheduling calendar and organize daily appointments.

   Add columns (optional)

   Columns subdivide a location's day view — typically by staff member or room. For example, add columns named “Martha”, “Room A”, etc. Columns are date-specific, so you can vary staffing by day.
