Ordering performance enhancements

Distribute large number of specimens ranging to 5000, 10000 etc. without any slowness. 

Export data along with files in bulk 

User can specify list of PPIDs & visit names to download data along with its file(consent PDFs, SPR PDFs etc.) in bulk. 

Select the data to export, enter the IDs for which data needs to be exported. If no IDs are specified, all data is exported. The file downloads instantly if there is less data. The user gets an email with the link to download data if the file takes time to download in case of larger exports. 

For file type fields like SPRs, consents, custom form file attributes etc., all the files along with data CSV is compressed in a zip file and exported.

Default container types

System loads default container types for some of commonly used freezer types. Administrators can reuse or refer to these while setting up new containers.

Auto container allocation enhancements

In addition to auto container strategies like 'Recently Used Container' and 'Least Empty Containers', admins can set complex criteria for auto container allocation. Criteria can be based on any field:

• Specimen type, anatomic site, quantity, pathological status etc.
• Specimen requirement code

For example, users might create 20 aliquots of plasma 10 of 0.1 ml stored in box type1 and 10 of 0.5 ml stored in box type2. The container auto allocation can be set to handle such conditions.

Query enhancements

Many of the enhancements and bugs reported by different clients have been addressed:

• Wide row issues
• Sorting dates in results
• Query audit log from UI
  
• Better email notifications
• Configurable and enhanced default results view 
  

UI notifications

Get live notifications about new collection protocol created, new users signed up, user roles updated etc. while using the system:

Hide sign-up page and forgot password link

When LDAP based authentication is enabled at a site, there is no use of reset password. Admins can hide this using the 'Settings->Authentication->Forgot Password'.

Using 'Settings->Administrative->User Sign Up', admins can hide 'Sign up' link on home page to avoid new users to sign up.
