Hello everyone,  
I am a consultant clinical pathologist in the National Institute of Diabetes, in Egypt for more than 25 years. I am intersted with the app and like to use it.  
I like to add new tests and configure the data to suit my clinical lab, but unfortuanely I can not change many functions, even adding new user. The version I downloaded from installion site is titled Test OpenELIS verson 3.xx, so how to let it run as a complete fucntioning version than can be configured and customized to my needs.  
Thank

I downloaded the system OpenELIS ver 3.x and ran it properly. My issue is that this is just a test one and do not accept any customization to meet my requirements. I can not add users, modify most menus or add any new tests. So i want to know how to use total functioning system.

Greetings @Ashraf_Ismail, there is a user manual given here which can help in explaining the total functioning.  
Clicking on it will generate a pdf file which contains the documentation.
