Wildcard Searching

The * wildcard is used to search for many letters within a word and can be used when the spelling, suffix, or prefix of the search term are in question: e.g., manage* = management, manages, managed, manager, etc.; d*ing = divorcing, dividing, droning, etc.

The ? wildcard is used to search for a single letter within a word and can be used when the spelling of the search term is in question: e.g., h?t = hat, hit, hot, etc. (but will NOT find heat).

Test Change Alert Feature

The new test change alert feature gives users a heads up if a test they’re viewing is going to be changed or inactivated with the next quarterly or immediate changes Hotline.

This alert feature is available at point of care for users seeking test guidelines and ordering recommendations; it does not replace Hotline communication emails.

A bold blue box with white lettering will appear at the top of the LTD entry above the test name. The box will show the effective date of the change. Clicking on the box will pull up a document (typically a Hotline) that will detail the changes being made to that test.

This new change alert feature will:

• Notify users of upcoming test information changes or inactivations
• Allow ARUP to communication these changes clearly and accurately
• Keep our clients in the know
