Cancel

Select this button to return to the ordering page without making any changes.

This button varies based on whether the grid layout is used:

  • With grid layout: The Cancel button removes the newly created order choices associated with the new specimen part information from the order.
  • Without grid layout: The Cancel button triggers a "Remove Order Choices" prompt. The prompt has two buttons:
    • Remove Remaining removes the order choice for the current part and all parts that follow, leaving those whose information has already been filled. 
    • Remove All removes the order choices for all the new specimen parts.

Note

This button does not remove order choices with specimen part information that are already on the order. Once the Specimen Part Details pop-up has been saved and order choices have been properly created, the new Cancel button cannot remove them.
