You can apply dynamic fields to fill the report form like for example below.
The dynamic fields are highlighted in yellow.

2. Linking a report to a test

When you generate a test in Admin–>Preferences–>Tests, you will get an option to link report to that test.
For example, in the below Virology blood test the result template can be added.
Note: you also have the option to link the processing template. This is a report generated on the base of processing parameters in the test (marked by the green arrow)
The processing parameters would be the ones that are required during the execution of the test.
For example, for an RT-PCR a processing parameter could be checking if the cDNA is pure or not (generally the ration 260/280 should be 1.8). OR
The RNA extracted from the sample of the patient is pure or not meaning the ratio 260/280 should be 2.0.
