Here's how to add Midwest Vet Lab services to Shepherd.

Updated over 8 months ago

This integration is currently in Beta testing.

An announcement will be made when it is available to all customers.

Tip: If you already have Midwest Vet products/services in your Shepherd product database that are not mapped to Midwest Vet, we’d recommend either:

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

  2. Deactivating all non-mapped products

Note: You need to set up your Midwest Vet integration if that hasn't already been done.

Adding a Midwest Vet Service

First thing's first: we'll need to open up the Midwest Vet database, which is found in your practice's products and services database (Admin > Products > Lab Integration Products > Midwest Vet Products)

Next up: let's add a Midwest Vet service to your Shepherd database:

  1. Deactivate the 'Show Mapped' toggle

    1. Once services have been added/mapped, they will display by default when viewing the main Midwest Vet 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 customize your product settings

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

List Prices & Default Markup

If you add a default markup on the main Midwest Vet 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.

Note: at this time, Midwest Vet does not send over any list prices through the integration, so you will have to calculate your selling prices manually.

Editing/Updating a MicroVet Service

  1. Open your clinic's lab integration products section (Admin > Products > Lab Integration Products)

  2. Select the Midwest Vet 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
