Cart Picklist

This feature simplifies the retrieval of large numbers of specimens from storage. For example, you have shortlisted 500 specimens which could be in multiple freezers and might take multiple days and people to retrieve.

Highlights:

• Create one or more Picklists within a Cart

• Validate and move specimens to the Picklist as they are picked

• Support for scanners, including box scanners.

• Filter specimens by a specific freezer, collection protocol, or type.

Support for multiple SAML Identity Providers (IdPs)

Useful for customers who have end users from multiple organisations.

Other enhancements

• Container Maximum Size Restriction: A system setting added to prevent performance issues caused by creating large storage containers (e.g., dimensions of 1000 x 1000)

• UX: URL Redirection when not Logged-in: To improve the user navigation experience, unauthenticated users accessing protected pages are redirected to the login screen and returned to their original page after logging in.

• Zebra Striping: Black and white zebra striping has been added to all table-based data entry forms for improved readability.

• Storage Location in Distribution: Storage location details are now retained during distribution, allowing users to print that information in manifests, order reports, etc.
