- Confirm Inventory and Execute: Laboratories can now control the inventory reservation process with a pre-execution check to determine if all material requirements are satisfied before a procedure begins. If the pre-execution check determines additional inventory records are required, a list is displayed. Once material requirements are met, users are seamlessly redirected to protocol execution.
- CSV Import: Skip Rows if Equal: ‘Skip if Equals’ is now available to designate an exact and case sensitive value for the CSV import tool to ignore. No records will be inserted or updated. Multiple columns in the same import can have a ‘Skip if Equals' value, but each column may have only one. A blank value can be designated by using the appropriate string.

1.76
06/09/22
- Sortable Procedure Execution Data Entry Columns: Columns on data entry pages within protocol execution are sorted by default by the first column on the page, when the page opens. Users can then select the column header to sort the rows by that column. The samples on the page sort like an Excel page (e.g. Sample 1, Sample 10, Sample 11, Sample 12, Sample 2). For accurate sorting, zeros are included before the sample number (e.g. Sample 01, Sample 02, Sample 03).
- New Validation Rule for Consumption Overage: This new feature prevents users from using most overage fields when the consumption basis is set to Plate, or not specified.
1.75
