Impersonate Users
Super administrators can now impersonate as other users. This will help debug any issue a user is facing related to access.

Dropdown Manager: Archive and Edit values
TBD
Archive Values: Super admins can mark dropdown values as archived is if a value is deprecated. This will ensure older data using that value remains as is and going forward restrict usage of that value. Making
Edit Values: Making changes to dropdown values will be reflected in all the previous data using that value. In previous versions, admins had to take care of updating the data before updating the value.

User-friendly System Events UI
...
When specimens are collected, processed, transferred etc., system creates events to track these. These system created events are displayed on specimen overview pages as recent events:
When user clicks on these events, it displays the details in a user-friendly manner.
Transfer event when box is moved:
Distribution event when specimen is dispatched:
Multi-timezone support
In previous version, the date/time fields in the query results, exported CSV files, and the custom DE fields were formatted using the server time zone. This works fine when both the server and the end-users are in the same time zone. But there might be studies which have users operating from different time zones. To support this, OpenSpecimen now formats the date/time field values using the user time zone. This will ensure the date/time is displayed in all places in OpenSpecimen based on what is entered by the user.
REDCap Integration Improvements
In v6.2, admins can now map single REDCap project to multiple collection protocol based on value selected in particular field.TBD: Add others
