# Administration: Adding in Drug Test Dropdowns

Juvenile probation departments use different Drug Test Kits. With this in mind, YouthCenter allows you to personalize your drug kits and add drugs to those kits to allow for the recording of your drug test results.

Given that you are an administrator for your organization, you will be able to:

- Add Drug Test Drugs
- Creating new Drug Test Kits
- Update Drug Test Actions

### **Adding New Drugs**

In order to make a new kit, you must first add each drug you wish to the kit.

Navigate to the "administration" tab and choose "picklist admin."

Search for "Drug Test" and choose "Drug test drug."

By default, some common drugs are provided with your installation of YouthCenter.

To add a new Drug, select the green plus icon

### **Creating a new drug kit**

Once you have all the drugs involved in a drug in the system, you can group them into a single kit.

To update this, navigate to the "administration" tab and choose "picklist admin."

Given that you set the drug kit to active, the kit can now be used in the Drug Test application (under case manager).

Drug Test Action describes what the result or consequence of the drug test is for a client.

To update this, navigate to the "administration" tab and choose "picklist admin."

### **Editing, Deleting, or Inactivating Items**
