Software/Hardware requirements
Review this page before attempting to upgrade for any changes: Software/Hardware Requirements.
From v6.1, you can create a new user type called 'Contact'. These users will be able to access OpenSpecimen but they can be associated with the data e.g. PI, coordinator, collector etc.
Admins can mark users as archived to remove unwanted users without deleting the user associated data.
For more details refer: User Management
Based on feedback, below enhancements are implemented in 'Dropdown Manager'.
For more details refer: Dropdown Manager
In the previous version, if users deleted a custom form field by mistake, there was no way to retrieve it back. In v6.1, admins can undo the delete so that no data is lost. Refer to 'Undo delete of form fields' for more details.
OpenSpecimen now supports semicolon separated input files for bulk import of data in addition to comma separated files. This is useful for files being imported from external devices(E.g. Liquid handling systems) which might be outputting data in different formats.
Admins can export container types in bulk which can be used to import into another OpenSpecimen server. This is useful when container types are set up on the test server and have to be moved to the production server.
The exported file can be used as is to import using bulk operations into another OpenSpecimen instance.
Container types can also be deleted in bulk as shown in the above screenshot.
Below are reports which are available as saved queries when you install v6.1:
Super admins can now configure one or more identity providers(LDAP or SAML based) to authenticate users in OpenSpecimen via UI.
For more details, refer to Configuring Identity Providers.
OpenSpecimen can now handle the repeating instruments(forms) of REDCap. Repeating instruments are forms for which users can add multiple records.
Admins can now exclude part of the instrument from syncing with OpenSpecimen. For more details, refer to the section participant mapping in '/wiki/spaces/DEV/pages/412713060'
