Release Notes: 6th February 2018 (iteration 314)

 

New features, existing feature enhancements, and bug fixes are included in this product update. The major enhancements in this release include the ability to quickly create an appointment for the patient currently selected; improvements to the implementation of location icons; and several very nice additions to the Imaging module.

Schedule

This update adds the ability to quickly create an appointment for the currently selected patient. With a patient selected, when you go into the Calendar and click an available opening, a new hyperlink invites you to give that appointment time to the selected patient. You can still search for a different patient or household.

Reporting

The total balance of the Aged Receivables Report has been modified to display the actual amount rather than a truncated amount in blue underlined text: 

 

The Audit Log has been updated to be more verbose when reporting a change to user roles. It will now include both the “before” list of rights and the “after” or new list of user rights: 

 

Usability

Location labels and icons have been enhanced in two ways. First, there will no longer be a difference between single and multi-site locations; any area where a location might be selected dropdown behave the same. The most noticeable change will be for single site locations, where the location will be selected from a dropdown even though there is only one choice. 

 

Location icons () have been removed where they don’t add useful information. They will no longer appear in single site locations. And for multi-site locations, they will appear only when a transaction or appointment is in a location other than the currently selected site. That is, you should only see a location icon when you need to know that something is going on in another location. Our intent is to make information-dense pages like the ledger easier to read. 

Imaging

This update includes several new features and enhancements. 

Rearrange Exam.

You can now drag and drop to rearrange images in an exam, for example mounts such as an FMX or bitewings. This will allow you to fix images that were taken in wrong locations when they were originally acquired. (You can also retake any image in the exam while acquiring images; previously you could only retake the last image taken, not skip back or forward to any image)

  

Select Order to Resume Exam. 

When an exam was not finished (i.e. did not have all images taken in the template) and you are ready to go back and finish the exam, a dialog box will prompt you to select the order of how the software will step thru the available locations during acquisition of the new images.

  

Change Tooth Numbers on Exam Images.

If the predefined teeth are not correct for mounts or templates that have more than one image, they can now be changed or corrected. This will be especially useful if you need to change the teeth for old exams that were taken with permanent teeth that should have been primary teeth. 

 

Import Files now shows the date of the file or image on the thumbnail when it is dragged and dropped onto a template, rather than the time, to better differentiate images of the same anatomy while doing the import operation.
