	Through the new list option management in the Administrator Console, lists are able to be set to include a 'preferred lab' column.

	Existing functionality exists to reduce the length of similar fields based on Preferred Laboratories. It is suggested that this "Preferred Laboratory" functionality be extended to data filters as well.		Often times, in the case of large organizations, customers are shared across labs. In such a case, it is advisable to set up all clients as "global" entries. This could lead to the issue of a large (and therefore bulky) list dropdown for all users from all labs. To avoid this problem and to keep the list drop-downs manageable, customers can be "nominated" against labs when they are added to the system. Thus even though all the client entries are global items, when the preferred lab option is set to True, and a sample/WO is being registerd for a particular lab, only those clients that have the selected lab being set/nominated as the preferred lab are shown in the drop downs.
