This release covers all changes since 2.0.76.1.
New Features
Past appointments always show in the diary
A clinician now always has a column in the diary on a day they have appointments, even if their working pattern does not cover that day. This happens for days before their working pattern started, on a rota day off, or after the pattern was changed. The column is shaded and marked Not scheduled. Before, these appointments were hidden, and Go to in the diary could not find them. In the week diary a booked day off shows a small calendar icon instead of the words.
Lab Work reports download as a spreadsheet
The Lab Work Raised, Lab Work Due and Lab Work Received reports now have an Excel button that downloads the list as a spreadsheet, with the same columns as on screen. Lab Work Received downloads whichever tab you are on (Received or For Approval). The PDF buttons, which never produced a file, have been removed.
Resolved Issues
Diary
- With New appointment chosen, dragging within a single slot (for example a 15-minute appointment on a diary with 15-minute slots) booked nothing. It now books that slot.
- A right-click menu opened near the bottom of the screen ran off the page, so you had to scroll to reach the lower options. Menus now open above the pointer when there is not enough room below, and very long menus scroll on their own.
- The magnifier could appear on top of an open right-click menu. It now stays hidden while a menu is open, and works again as soon as the menu closes.
- Straight after booking an appointment, its details showed no history line until the day was reloaded. “Booked by …” now appears within a second.
Diary Schedules
- After saving a working pattern or time off, the screen did not update and reopening the editor showed the old values (for example No start date unticked) until the page was reloaded. The screen now updates straight away.
- The Week overview flickered constantly for some clinicians. It is now steady.
Phone numbers and saving
- The Laboratory and Referrer screens could save an invalid work phone. If you change a work phone to an invalid number, Save now stays off and the box is shown in red. A number that was already wrong does not stop you saving other changes, but is shown in red so you can correct it.
- Save and exit skipped these checks. It now says “Not saved yet” with the reason, and keeps the tab open with your changes.
- A patient’s Mobile must now be a UK mobile number (starting 07 or +44 7), because it is used for text messages. You can now type +44. A mobile number saved before this release that is not a UK mobile is shown in red, but does not stop you saving other changes to the patient.
Other fixes
- Clearing the SMS mail shot list did not clear it. It now does.
- Opening the Payment Plan Dashboard and the Payment Plans report one after the other could show one’s figures in the other. Each now shows its own.
- Using Find Laboratories while Add Work Required was open emptied that window’s list of laboratories. It no longer does.
- On Lab Work Received, work coming back from the lab did not appear until the report was reopened. It now appears straight away.
