ZRL: Adding Diagnostic Services

Here's how to add the ZRL services to Shepherd.

Updated over a week ago

While you have access to ZRL's vast diagnostics library, there's a good chance you won't need all of them. In this article, we'll cover adding them to your Shepherd product/service database.

Tip: If you already have Zoetis Reference Lab services in your Shepherd Products database that are not mapped to ZRL, we’d recommend either:

  1. Changing the existing name to make it clear it's not mapped to ZRL

  2. Deactivating all non-mapped products

Note: You need to set up your ZRL integration before you can add services.


Take a Look

Adding a ZRL Service

First thing's first: we'll need to open up the ZRL database, which is found in Admin> Products> Lab Integrated Products> ZRL Products.

Next up: let's activate a ZRL service:

  1. Deactivate the 'Show Mapped' toggle

    1. Once services have been added/mapped, they will display by default when viewing the main ZRL database

  2. Search for the service you want to add

    1. You can search by lab name or code in the main search bar

  3. Select 'edit' from the actions section on the right-hand side

  4. Select the 'Active' toggle to add the service to your mapped products

  5. Select 'Product Settings'

  6. From here, you'll be able to edit the test name, adjust pricing, and customize your product settings

If you would like to add a group of ZRL services to your database you can select the checkbox on the left of each service 'Add to Products'. After this, you will need to enable the 'Show Mapped' toggle to then edit/customize the services just added.

List Prices & Default Markup

If you add a default markup on the main ZRL Products page, this automatically adds the markup to new products as they are mapped.

  • Note: if you add or change the default markup, this will not be retroactively added to already mapped products.

The default markup is used to calculate the selling price based on the standard list price. The standard list price is set by Zoetis.

Editing/Updating a ZRL Service

  1. Open your clinic's products section (Admin > Products)

  2. Select the ZRL Products tab

  3. Search for and select the service you want to edit

  4. Select the 'Product Settings' button

Changing Product Status From Inactive to Active

If a product status is changed to inactive by toggling off 'Active' the product will then populate in the inactive status. It does not go back to being un-mapped again.

To activate an inactive product:

  1. Filter status under mapped products

  2. Select the box to mark the product active

  3. Make edits to the product as needed
