I got the OL Monitor Trial to work today after I downloaded the trial again today.   Actually, it &#8220;saved the day&#8221; a couple of times on ER stats!!<br \/>\nQuestion:    Is there a way to change the background color  for a test that is over the turnaround time.   Explanation:   I left the general background blue with the font white.   Then I had it set to turn the tests red when the TAT is exceeded.   I find the red difficult to read with the blue background.   Now, I have the general background set to white and the font black.   I left the test red when the TAT is exceeded.   I think this is better, but I was just wondering if there is a way to control the background for tests failing the TAT independently from the general background color.<br \/>\nAlso, I showed the OL Monitor Trial to our Lab Manager.   She is very excited also.   Ideally, we would like to have the trial loaded onto three PC&#8217;s at the same time for  a short period of time (a week would probably be long enough for us to be ready to make a purchase decision).   Is this possible?<br \/>\nThanks for your help.   It is rare when we have a day that is as exciting as this one.   I believe the OL Monitor would help to keep us &#8220;on our toes&#8221;.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>    That&#8217;s outstanding!  As for the background for individual tat&#8217;s unfortunately Microsoft decided row-specific background colors were an unecessary feature when they designed the &#8216;listview&#8217; control.  I&#8217;m considering some third-party products that may provide this feature but at the current time you can only change the static background color, and color the text of tests for turn-around-times.  You might find that there are a broader array of colors that are visible if you get creative with the main background color.  One hospital the other day was using a light purple as the background with white letters.  I find a dark army green background with a deep yellow relaxing.  Red, orange, and yellow stand out well on these backgrounds much better than they do on white.  After you settle on a color you may decide to change it up again if you ever decide to get a large lcd or plasma display.  Changing the font size and style can also help visibility.<br \/>\nAnyway yes test away the trial lasts a month and may even let you go longer with a nuisance message up until almost 45 days.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><!--Mime Type of File is image\/gif --><\/p>\n<p class=\"postie-image-div\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ericainsworth.com\/olmonitor\/blog\/wp-photos\/20070901-120823-2.jpg\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/ericainsworth.com\/olmonitor\/blog\/wp-photos\/20070901-120823-2.jpg','full_size_image','toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,status=0,menubar=0,resizable=1,height=788,width=1044');return false;\"><img src=\"http:\/\/ericainsworth.com\/olmonitor\/blog\/wp-photos\/thumb.20070901-120823-2.jpg\" alt=\"ATT00059.gif\" title=\"ATT00059.gif\" style=\"border: medium none \" class=\"postie-image\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March 22, 2007 I am so excited!
