Under **Practice Settings**, click **Labs & Centers**. 3. Click the tab for the type of center you want to add: **Labs**, **Imaging**, **Cardiac**, **Pulmonary**, or **Sleep**. 4.

The new center is immediately available in the **Center** dropdown on the matching Order Form for all users at your practice.

You cannot edit or delete these default centers, but you can hide them from the Order Form so users only see the centers your practice created. 1. Go to **Settings > Labs & Centers** and select the tab for the center type. 2. In the **Elation Default Centers** section, use the **Show default centers** toggle. * **On** — Elation default centers appear in the **Center** dropdown on the matching Order Form. * **Off** — only the centers your practice created appear on the Order Form.

Any user with access to Practice Settings can manage the entries on the **Labs & Centers** page. Changes apply to every user at the practice. ### Do I still need to contact Elation Support to add a center? No. Practices manage their own imaging, cardiac, pulmonary, and sleep centers through **Settings > Labs & Centers**. Contact Elation Support only if you need to set up an electronic results interface with an integrated lab or imaging vendor. ### Where do the centers I add appear? Centers you add appear in the **Center** dropdown on the matching Order Form. Imaging centers appear on the Imaging Order Form, cardiac centers on the Cardiac Order Form, and so on. Select the company, then choose a specific location. ### Can I add multiple locations for the same center? Yes. Add a separate entry for each location, using the same **Company Name** and a distinct **Location Name** for each site. Users can then select the location from the second dropdown on the Order Form. ### What happens to orders already sent to a center I deleted or hid? Nothing. Signed orders that were previously sent to a center are not affected when you delete the center or hide the default centers. Only new orders are affected. ## Related Articles * [Order Forms Guide — Ordering imaging (radiology) tests with the Imaging Order Form](/articles/ordering-imaging-tests) * [Order Forms Guide — Ordering cardiology tests using the Cardiac Order Form](/articles/ordering-cardiology-tests) * [Order Forms Guide — Ordering pulmonary tests using the Pulmonary Order Form](/articles/ordering-pulmonary-tests) * [Order Forms Guide — Ordering sleep tests using the Sleep Order Form](/articles/ordering-sleep-tests) * [Patient Reports Guide — Receiving imaging (radiology) results from imaging interfaces](/articles/receiving-imaging-results-from-imaging-interfaces) * [Lab Orders & Results — Managing lab vendors](/articles/Managing-lab-vendors) * [Order Forms Introduction — Ordering medical tests for your patients](/articles/Order-Forms-Introduction-Ordering-medical-tests-for-your-patients)
