# Working with the Laboratory Tab

[The Laboratory Tab](https://app.linkhms.com/laboratory) is primarily used by laboratory staff to manage the progress and results of patient analyses. **Laboratory Workers** have the ability to update the readiness status of analyses and enter conclusions. Other users, such as doctors, can only view the result in the [Patient](https://app.linkhms.com/patients) tab and cannot modify the analysis progress.

#### Laboratory Tab Structure:

Upon accessing the [Laboratory](https://app.linkhms.com/laboratory) tab, you will see a list of all ongoing patient analyses. Each row in the table represents a different analysis and includes columns for:
