Setup - Pathways
The system can be configured to handle dosimetry for multiple facilities, irradiators, or pathways within each irradiator using the “Pathway” setup feature. The App Admin must define at least one pathway for the system to function.
Setup a new Pathway
1 Enter a pathway ID, description, reference ID, and external ID to setup a pathway For example, the user may have a Production pathway and Research pathway.
Enter the same name for all four fields of a Pathway. (If you are integrating with another system, you can name the external ID as needed.)
2 Do not check the box “Produces Report”; leave unchecked unless you are specifically instructed by GEX.
3 Do not check the box ‘DSM Locked’; leave unchecked unless you are specifically instructed by GEX.
4 Activate a ‘default’ Pathway. The default Pathway is the one most commonly used. This Pathway will display as the first option in the dropdown list of options when a user creates a new dosimetry report.

Recommendations
It can be useful to create multiple pathways based on the range of dose or application. For example, if an irradiator has a single pathway that is used for both routine processing and dose qualification in which the two applications may have different dosimeter calibrations.
NOTE! A Pathway cannot be deleted from the system after the Pathway is used in a dosimetry report.
