The AB Manager electronic application is used to simplify and streamline the laboratory application and re-application process. The spreadsheet can be edited using either MS Excel or Google Sheets and includes three tabs or worksheets:

• Laboratory Details
• Key Positions
• Requested Parameters

A laboratory-specific application can be created from the laboratory Parameters tab using the Application Export button.

The resulting application file can be moved and/or renamed as appropriate.

Notes:

• AB Manager pre-populates the spreadsheet with existing laboratory details and key positions information.
• The Requested Parameters tab is populated with all parameters that are currently active in the AB Parameters table (see Updating the AB Parameters Table).
• All of the laboratory’s requested parameters, including those not currently approved, are marked with a ‘yes’ in the first column.
• Laboratory can be directed to this help article (For Laboratories – Completing the Electronic Application) when completing the application.
