Quick Help
- Unknown Tests
- There is a hardcoded maximum limit for number of tests displayed for a definition.
For a small number of oval definitions, about ~1% of all, hundreds of test have been defined.
This causes the pages to grow in size, exceed even 1mb, and they are unsuitable for display in a web page.
So they are not displayed.Please refer to the xml definition files if you really want to view them.
