Export lab test analytics dashboard data

Exporting the Lab Test Analytics dashboard data in EDC refers to the process of transferring and saving the chart data into a different format (such as CSV, XLSX, PDF, and so on) for external use or further analysis. This functionality is crucial for ensuring data accessibility, supporting collaboration, enabling in-depth analysis, and maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements in clinical research settings.

In EDC's Lab Test Analytics dashboard, with the Export option, you can export various lab test reports, allowing for structured documentation of findings and outcomes that can be shared with stakeholders, management, or regulatory authorities.

  1. In the EDC application header, select the DASHBOARD tab.

  2. On the page that opens, go to the Lab Test Analytics tab and on the workspace toolbar, from the Lab Test dropdown menu, select the test that you want to export.

    Tip

    You can also export the file using the Export History history_icon.png option. In the Export History dialog, you can keep track of all previous exports of data generated from the dashboard. This is useful for audit trails and for the users who need to revisit past analyses.
