How do I view a procedure's child procedures?

Created by Help Desk Team, Modified on Thu, 18 Apr, 2024 at 1:15 PM by Help Desk Team

If an institution uses a very similar procedure to an already-listed procedure for the same species, but the steps, dosages, timing, or other information vary, they create a child (variation) procedure and provide a description of how it differs from the procedure from which it was created (now called the parent procedure).


When a procedure is a child (variation) of another procedure, its procedure name ends in "(Child Procedure)", shown below..


When a parent procedure has one or more child procedures, the procedure list displays a "View Child Procedures" button (org chart icon), shown below.

Click on the "View Child Procedures" button to display the "Child Procedures" pop-up window which displays the procedure's child procedures, as shown below. Click on the link to the child procedure will open the child procedure.

When viewing a Procedure in Procedure Viewer (opened procedure), click on the "Get Child Procedures" button (org chart icon), depicted below to display the "Child Procedures" pop-up for that procedure.

  • If the procedure does not have any child procedures, nothing will be listed.
