The following global settings apply to the Aperio WebViewer digital slide viewer.
WebViewer Slide Tray Sort Order
When viewing a case in the web-based viewer, the Slide Tray groups the slides by specimen. This setting enables you to further define the sort order of the slides within each specimen group, including multi-level sort orders.
To define the sort order:
From the Administrative menu, select System Settings. The WebViewer Slide Tray Sort Order area is located in the WebViewer Settings at the top of the page.
Click Edit under the sort table to open the WebViewer Sort Order options.
Click Add Row to define the first sort criteria.
In the Sort By column, select the first sort option you want to use.
If you select Stain Display Order, the sort order for this option is defined in the Stain Management page. See Configure the Stain Display Order in Managing Stains to set the display order by stain.
If you select any option other than Stain Display Order (for example, Barcode ID, Block ID, and so on), continue to the next step.
In the Sort Order column, select ascending or descending for most options.
In the Sort Method column, select Natural or Alphabetical for most options.
To add a second-level sort, click Add Row and follow the above steps to define the sort criteria.
To re-arrange the sort order within the table, click the up or down arrows to move the sort row up or down the list. To delete a sort row, click the X.
When you have finished defining the sort options, click Save.
The following table defines the different sort criteria. The first row defines the primary sort, the second row defines the secondary sort, and so on.
