Lab Connex Portal 14.230719

✓Corrections:

➢ Users of Lab Connex Portal (LXP) were unintentionally clearing a call’s assigned user when they add their notes to the call and the property ‘CallUserID’ is blank. This has been corrected to leave the user assigned to the call. When creating new calls from Lab Connex Portal and the property is blank, it will then assign the call to the user logged in LXP.

➢ In certain email templates, the merge field intended to display a customer's balance was not displaying the full dollar and cents amount when the customer's balance ended with a zero.

➢ DLCPM Enterprise was not applying the Product's Warranty on cases submitted from the Customer Portal.

➢ When the "Auto Re-Schedule Cases Nightly with Backward Option" job runs, the job kept multiplying some of the task's durations with the number of units. Those affected were labs that enabled the case option "When calculating Case Tasks Duration multiply it by the Number of Units" , and the affected tasks were the ones added manually to cases.

➢ Alerts for new imported cases from digital scanners were only getting sent to the first assigned group that DLCPM Enterprise recognized, even though cases were for a different lab. This has been enhanced to alert the group set on the customer's Invoicing Lab for the newly imported digital cases.

➢ The automation for nightly invoices was failing due to errors within the parameter configuration.

➢ When editing a task on a Remake Case to mark it complete, DLCPM Enterprise was not setting the Pay Rate to 0, even though the Global Setting to set the Pay Rate to 0 for Remake Cases was enabled.

➢ When users accept submitted cases, the case products did not show on the Products tab.

➢ Users were unable to open or download some files added from the Digital Case Import service. These files contained special characters such as parenthesis ( ), and the pound sign #, which the system did not handle properly.

➢ Customer Special Prices set to a Criteria, such as Category, Department, Group, or Type, were not getting applied.

➢ The "Enable View Progress" menu was available even if the customer did not have the checkbox for the feature in DLCPM Enterprise activated.

➢ When the Management Console property "CaseStatusOnApprovedDesign" was set to "In Production", the status of cases still changed even though they were already invoiced.

Now, the user is assigned “--Use Global Setting--” as their printer, which informs DLCPM Enterprise to use the printer and its properties in Global Settings.

➢ When trying to open or save a Case Document from the Case Finder, users were receiving a blank file because the file was stored in a folder with a foreign character within the name. DLCPM Enterprise now supports reading the files from folders with foreign characters.

This option was intended for creating shipments during invoicing. Now, the system will disable the option if the lab is set to use Shipping Manager.

➢ Creating a Statement for a customer was timing out because the Customer ID changed while statements were being processed. DLCPM Enterprise will now check first if the Customer has pending Statements to process before allowing the user to change the CustomerID. It will also check for locked items such as Cases, Calls, or Shipments, before changing the Customer ID and deleting or Purging the customer.

➢ Volume Discounts were not generating again after the statements have been deleted and recreated.

Vendor Shipments:

➢When creating Vendor Shipments, the "Read Weight" feature is now available.

 

✓Corrections:

The following corrections updated to the functionality occurring in previous versions:

➢ If a single Inventory Adjustment has multiple adjustments for each lot number of a single Inventory Item, the Inventory Transactions created were generating the wrong quantity per lot number, affecting the On Hand Quantity of the Inventory Item.

➢ Mass Printing would incorrectly stop printing after 150+ accounts.

➢ When creating a tool loan delivery, the customer’s route is automatically displayed. However, if you do not click the drop-down menu and actually select the route, the route on the delivery would not populate. The route will now populate without having to select the route.

➢ The Update Tracking # button in Shipping Manager was not functioning.

➢ An error would generate when trying to process a Local Case for shipment in Shipping Manager.

➢ The rates on certain Discount codes were translated incorrectly.

➢ The Ship Date was not populating correctly when entering a new case.

➢ When Voiding a Shipment, the cases within the voided shipment were not set populating within the “Ready to Ship” tab.

➢ When clicking on the “Update Tracking #” button in Shipping Manager, the cursor initially focused on the “Update” button instead of the “Tracking Number” field.

➢ Cases that have potential to be bundled with other cases for the customer weren’t displaying in the Shipping Manager.

➢ Local Deliveries were still showing up as “Ready to Ship” even after the Deliveries were created.

➢ The Shipping Label was not printed when creating Chronopost Shipments.

➢ Taxes were not correctly generating on cases.

➢ Users were unable to mark a pending payment as Successful, due to an incorrect error that the payment was posted in a previous statement period.

➢ Under certain conditions, notes entered when scanning a document after posting a payment, were not saved.

➢ The special discount set on a customer was removed if the product quantity changed.

➢ When setting the Default Due Date for a new case, the system was including the weekends when counting the number of days in advance, even though the lab is not open on weekends.

➢ The option for “On New Case Calculate Ship Date based on Carrier Transit Days” when enabled was not properly calculating the ship date.

➢ When entering a new case, the warning message “Due Date is outside of Customer Office hours” was not displaying when the due date was set outside of the customer office hours.

➢ With the option “Do not allow Saving the Case if Due Date is outside customer office hours” enabled, the system would still allow the user to save the case, even though the Due Date was set outside the Customer’s Office Hours.

➢ With a lab set up to create a shipment during an invoicing of a case, the Shipment Date was incorrectly reflected as 2 days in advance, instead of the actual day that the case was invoiced.

➢ In certain situations, the displayed dates and their formatting was getting changed.

➢ With the settings “When Due Date is changed, Always Calculate Ship Date from Due Date” and “Automatically retrieve Carrier Estimated Delivery Date” were enabled, the system was setting the incorrect Ship Date when changing the case’s Due Date.

➢ When typing in the ProductID using the “Add Single Product” module, the product’s Minimum Quantity was not validated.

➢ When attempting to open a call from an ePop Alert, and the call was opened by another user, the prompt to request the user to unlock the call will display as normal. If the request is declined, the ePop alert would simply close and the epop notification would clear. This is fixed, to have the ePop alert remain open until you decide to close it manually.

➢ The system was not prompting the user to view the notes on a call, when the user is trying to open a call from an ePop alert, and the call happens to be opened by another user.

➢ The client was crashing when creating a new customer if no Customer ID is entered or selected to generate.

➢ On creating an outbound shipment, using the Vendor Shipments manager the following error was populating: Error “9120119 - Missing Package Level Reference Number value”. This was an invalid error and has been corrected.

▪Users can only remove a case from a created shipment:

❑ If local delivery, when the Delivery Date is blank

❑ If Carrier shipment, when both the Carrier Delivery Date and Carrier Tracking Info are blank.

▪The case audit trail log is updated when removing a case from a shipment.

 

Customers:

▪A new ‘Holidays’ tab is available in the 0. Customer tab in the Customer form. When setting up holidays on this tab, a red warning message will display on the case entry/edit if the Due Date is on the customer’s holiday.

Production Management:

▪This new module has been introduced for labs to have the ability to track production by way of creating custom stages which are set at the product task level. Stages can be created as high level or granular as needed in order for the main module to provide insights on overall production process. The module opens an external program to view the summary, stage specific details and the Dashboard graphical view. There are many options for selecting date ranges to filter production tracking results as well as an export option.

***Please note that Production Management is in beta stage and as more laboratories take advantage of this new tool, feedback will be taken into consideration for future enhancements.

 

✓Corrections:

The following corrections updated to the functionality occurring in previous versions:

➢When selecting 'Print' to print a server document from the Customer Communications tab, a "Print Progress" window remained displayed in front of the Print window preventing the ability to Print.

➢When removing a product from the Catalog, the log on Catalog Products Audit Trail incorrectly displayed the Product ID in the Catalog column.

➢Using Advanced Queries with Total Past Due expressions in Mass Printing and Broadcast Email was returning 0 Customers.

➢In Advanced Export, only one field was exported if fields with the same name were selected from two different tables.

➢Selecting to double-click to select a Practice Doctor from the New Case entry module was not selecting the highlighted doctor for the case.

➢In Customer Payments Manager, certain queries caused the date range option to grey out, disabling the ‘Only Show Trans’ option. Now date range is available for all queries.

➢The incorrect email template was loading in certain environments and specific instances when sending certain emails.

➢Certain published queries were not populating in the Query Security section of Advanced Query.

➢When entering multiple lines of notes for a task preference, there was a lag time between typing and the text displayed on the screen.

➢Rescheduling a case and selecting to retain Assignments removed the Assignment Source and Date of projected assignments.

➢A proper error message will display if a user runs a report or form and the App server could not write into the workstation’s roaming folder, causing the report or form not to load successfully.

➢Call attachments were not sorted by date correctly.

➢When Global Settings for credit card processing were set for address verification, certain transactions were not sent with the full credit card billing address, resulting in certain transactions declining.

➢In certain environments, when selecting to upload and combine case Images, failures would occur if a large file were to combine/convert (>10MB).

➢Across the application forms, updated spelling, formatting, and grammatical issues.

➢The Global Setting option for “Automatically calculate Due Date from Ship Date when left blank”, was not reflecting the required number of days for Local Delivery, generating an incorrect case due date for Local Cases.

➢When entering new cases, the system would by default skip weekends when calculating the Ship Date. This has been corrected to respect the lab’s business hours.

➢When a call or case is opened and their files are sorted in descending order, the new file attached will still be added to the bottom of the list.

 

 

 

Route Manager Version 14

Major Feature Introductions:
