Scan information

The Scan details view contains data points and features to help you identify the scan and which case the scan belongs to.

Important: The Scan barcode was either translated from the scan’s label or manually entered. For several reasons, the barcode could have been entered incorrectly, resulting in the Orphan scan alert. Fixing the scan’s barcode and clicking Update barcode may automatically link the scan to the correct case.

Important: If you can’t read the slide’s name from the label thumbnail, you can right-click on the thumbnail and click Open image in new tab to view a larger image of the thumbnail.
