The shipping Scale selection has been removed from the lab Shipping Carrier tab in Global Settings. New options have been added in Create Shipment to support since the shipping scale device is computer specific, not user or lab specific.

There is a 'Select Scale' checkbox option for users to select a device for the first time, or if the device has changed

The 'Read Weight' will prompt to select a device if one was not selected before on that computer (not user specific) on previous shipments created

**Please note:  If there is an existing scale device listed in the selection, do not select a bad device.  Selecting an invalid device can cause DLCPM to continue to wait for the device to respond and lock up your computer.

 

Corrections:

When creating shipments through Fulfillment Manager, the lab Shipping Carrier check box option in Global Settings 'Print shipment label receipt' was not applying correctly.  This has been corrected.

When a shipment that was created which included pending fulfillments was selected to be voided, the fulfillment record was not getting updated with the void.  This has been corrected.

 

V10.12.7 Release Notes - August 7, 2017

A new option has been added to the Administrator menu for 'Release All Software Locks for User'.  The Drop Locks action will drop all locks for the selected user and shutdown the user's active sessions.

V10.12.6 Release Notes - July 19, 2017

Record Lock Enhancements

When users log in, DLCPM is now checking to see if there is are pending record locks for that user (Cases, Calls, Payments, or Shipments).

If there is no connection to the server with a record lock, the user is logged in normally.

If there is another connection to the server with a record lock, the user will receive a Record Lock error message: "You have existing record locks from other DLCPM Sessions.  In order to login to DLCPM the other sessions will be forced to shutdown and all unsaved changes will be lost.  Are you sure you want to continue?"

        Selecting 'Yes' will allow the user to login but will shut down any other open session.

If the Auto Logout option is Enabled, the system will check for any pending record locks.  If there are pending case or payment locks, the auto logout option will be disabled and the user will receive the following Auto Logout message:  "Auto Logout disabled. You have existing Record Locks (Cases, Calls, Payments or Shipments)."

Please note: As a result of these enhancements, the Release Software Locks menu located in the Administrator menu at the top of the toolbar has been removed. Users can simply logout and log back in to release the open locks.

 

FedEx Integration - Hold Location Feature

In order to support this feature, we were required to use the new version of FedEx API. When a shipment is created, we now request the Location ID from FedEx and in turn send it back to FedEx.

 

Corrections:

DDX Integration

The integration with DDX has been enhanced to transfer the Product Invoice Notes to DDX when Syncing the product.

Please note: Since there is no Lab associated with the product until the case is entered, the transfer can only include notes assigned to “ALL” which means that lab specific notes are not Synced.

 

Multi-currency Environment

DLCPM allows for Labs to set certain customers to be billed in a different currency than the laboratory currency and the currency options have been enhanced:

When a payment is posted for a customer that has a different currency than the Lab currency, users have the choice to post the payment in the customer currency or Lab currency

In previous versions, Production Tasks were not respecting the checkbox option for 'Ignore product QTY (flat rate). This has been corrected so that when this checkbox option is checked, the flat rate is calculated.

In certain scenarios, when editing a case and changing the due date, the Due Date Reason was being cleared upon rescheduling the case. This has been fixed.

Users reported they were unable to print statements without SMTP email fields in the Global Settings configured.

Please note: users may only select to Print statements, or Print Only on Re-Process Statements if the SMTP email fields are not configured. All other process options for Statements require the SMTP Global Settings to be configured.

In previous versions, the case number was displaying incorrectly on new case follow-up calls.  This has been fixed.

V10.10.7 Release Notes - April 5, 2017

QuickBooks Sync Enhancements:

In certain situations, if there were old invoices prior to using the QuickBooks integration with DLCPM with the same Invoice # in DLCPM, during the QuickBooks transfer those invoices were not transferred over. This has been enhanced and the QuickBooks transfer will recognize this and transfer the invoice correctly.

In certain environments, when an old invoice was found in QuickBooks with the same invoice # in DLCPM, the Invoice was duplicated in QuickBooks.

 

Customer Web Portal:

When a customer is submitting a case, if there are multiple addresses on record for that customer, there will be a link called 'Change'. This option will allow for the customer to pull up the available addresses and select for which address the case will be set to. Only doctors with a full shipping address will display from the change selection. This means that addresses missing any of the following information will be excluded from the selection: Address1, City, State, and Zip Code.

When a customer submits a case, the Portal will remember the last product ordered and will display on the next case that is submitted. On Submit RX, the drop down menus for RX Type, RX Category, and Product will remember and will display on the next Submit RX.

Please note: These options will remember and are designed to provide a template however customers will still be able to make changes to the selections that will automatically populate.

Two radio options have been added to the RX Scan form for Driver Pan and Depot Location:

Driver Pan - allows for drivers to scan the RX numbers in order to keep track of the cases that they unpack upon delivery to the lab

Please note: drivers may only scan for RX numbers once. If a driver attempts to scan the same RX number, they will receive a duplicate scan error for that RX

Depot Location - is the option availability for keeping track of the collection facility. This option will allow for drivers to scan the RX numbers and select from the new Location drop down menu to track the cases from pick-up all the way to the lab.

Corrections:

On the standard work order, when task preferences are displayed in the Case Tasks section only under the corresponding task and the entire text is displayed.

When using the shipping integration, the package level drop down menu on Process Shipment has been corrected for FedEx Ground shipments marked with COD to create shipment without error of invalid Packaging Type.

V10.10.4 Release Notes - January 19, 2017

 

Adhoc Print Invoices:

Under the Accounting sub-menu of the Customer menu at the top of the toolbar, there is a new option called 'Adhoc Print Invoices' .This option allows users to select a collection of specific invoices to print or email them to the customer.  When a user selects this option, there are two different formats that are provided to choose from:

1)Invoice List - This list is a statement style list of invoices on one page

2)Invoice Form - This list is the actual invoice form similar to option for combined invoices.  

With this new option, the following areas have been modified:

Global Settings - Edit Lab - Forms tab has been modified with two new report form options for Adhoc Invoice List and Adhoc Invoices

Global Settings - Edit Lab - Lab Templates tab has been modified with a new entry for Adhoc Invoices to be used for the email option

System Templates folder has a new e-mail template for Adhoc Invoices

 

QuickBooks Sync:

There have been reports that sometimes duplicate invoices or payments have been transferring over to QuickBooks from DLCPM from the QuickBooks transfer. To eliminate this issue, the QuickBooks Sync module now performs the following steps:

DLCPM will check QuickBooks for every invoice and payment

If a duplicate is found, the record is no longer transferred and DLCPM will mark the record as transferred

In the event that the duplicate record is found in QuickBooks, a log will be written to Audit Trail of the Invoice or Customer log

When payments are transferred over to QuickBooks, the payment reference number in QuickBooks is now the same as the Payment number in DLCPM, instead of the check or credit card number. The check or credit card number of the payment will be placed in the Memo field of QuickBooks and this has been modified for increased reliability of the payments transfer.

Please note: that the QuickBooks Sync module now will be slower than before due to the additional verifications being performed during the transfer.

A warning for QuickBooks Sync has been added to alert users to make sure that all forms in QuickBooks have properly been closed before the sync is initiated. The warning also advises that if the QuickBooks is set in a Multi-User environment, users must ensure that all other users have successfully logged out QuickBooks before processing with the sync.

 

Global Settings - Laboratory Settings - Forms:

There is now a new entry on the Forms tab for 'Invoice for E-Mail'.  This form is only used when a user selects to e-mail an invoice or estimate to a customer.

Statement & Payments:

A warning has been added that will alert users on creating statements if there are any payments that have a status of Pending

 

Case Edit:  

On the Product sub tab when accessing a case record, when a user selects to edit the Product Invoice Notes a record in the Audit Trail will be created for tracking purposes

 

E-mail:  

Under the View menu at the top of the toolbar, the option for View Failed emails has been renamed to 'Failed and Pending E-Mails'. This view now has 2 separate tabs, where users can view both failed email and pending emails

 

Corrections:

In the Sales Person field in CRM Lists section of the Global Settings, the field is now limited to 30 characters instead of 40.  In previous version, Sales Person field was allowing users to exceed 30 characters which resulted in an error

When creating a Sent for TryIn case, the Default Due Time set in the Case Dates tab of the Case Entry section of Case Options was not being set accordingly on cases.  This has been corrected and on Sent for TryIn cases, the due date time will be set to the Default Due Time

With this change, the option for 'Customers Only' will allow for users to print & process statements for only customers in the event users would like to exclude billing account from print & process.

Administrator - View System Log:

A new note area has been added in View System Log which will display additional feedback for the log currently selected.  View System log is primarily used for Login, Logout, QB Sync, Global Settings changed flag, and when Statements are created

Default Carrier Pickup - Customer Portal:

For clarity, the option previously located in the management console listed as, 'SchedulePickupRestrictToCustomerLab' has been reworded to 'UseThisLabAccountSettings'. This is to make it clear that the lab entered in the field below is the lab's account and credentials that will be used for all pickups regardless of the service center (Invoicing Lab) selected on the pickup.

Please note: The service type of all pickups scheduled will be set to the Default Service Type set in the Shipping Carrier Account of the Global Settings only if the checkbox option for 'Allow Only Default Service Type on the Web' is checked. If this option is not checked, users will be able to select which service type desired when the pickup is requested.  

Submit RX Case - Customer Portal:  

The Required Days field on the Portal Options tab of the Product maintenance section is now used in the calculation of the Requested Due Date field on case submission.

Corrections:

When editing and selecting catalog product lists for Catalog Products in Global Settings, the products for the selected catalog were displaying inaccurately and required a refresh.  This has been corrected so that the products for the selected catalog display correctly checked when editing the product list.

When viewing payment distribution from the customer Accounting page, or from the Customer Payments Manager, columns were not sorting correctly.  This has been corrected.

When maintaining Preferences in the Laboratory Lists section of the Global Settings, the system was allowing for users to add too many characters in the preference name field causing an error when attempting to save.  This has been corrected and the field length is limited to the correct amount.

When requesting a pickup from the Customer Web Portal, the service type was scheduling with the lab's default service type regardless of configuration, instead of the service type that was selected on the pickup at the time it was requested.  

 

 

 

V10.10.2 Release Notes - December 12, 2016

 

STILL Capture Image: In prior versions, the capture image feature used Video Capture while taking a snapshot. This method would only allow Video capture with highest resolution of 1080. The STILL capture image would allow to use the actual resolution available with a given camera device.

Personal Settings:

In the General section, there is a new option to enable this feature and also set percentage (%) of quality. The higher the %, the larger the file.

Once enabled, an alternate form similar to what was displayed in prior forms will open to capture images.

***Please note the following:***

1.High resolution capture requires much larger disk space and will behave slower in capture & view. For example, a 30K Image in standard capture will result in 8+ MB of image size. Please keep this in mind before enabling this feature.

2.Users should not enable this feature for standard 720 or 1080 Camera as it would not improve the picture quality.

3.A new .Net component is used for STILL Capture and requires .Net V4.x to be already installed. Most systems starting with Windows will have the .Net installed already.

4.Due to high resolution capture, 1 gig of ram is required for image processing and the desktop must have at least 4 gig of ram.

5.Windows XP and prior versions of Windows are not supported with this feature.

 

Calls:

On the My Calls and Departments Calls forms, there is a new column available called 'Last Note Date'. This column will display the date and time of the last note that was added onto the call.

Corrections:

In previous versions, windows were not always opening as maximized in accordance with users' Personal Settings. This has been corrected.

Removing text from fields on the customer form by using the keyboard combination, Ctrl + C and Backspace was not triggering the Save button. This has been corrected so that Save will activate accordingly.

The call notes were disappearing from the Call Notes grid when clicking on the row multiple times. This has been corrected and no longer disappear when clicked.

When creating a carrier shipment, the shipment date on cases was incorrectly getting set to two days in advance to the current day's date. This has been corrected so that the correct date of the shipment is set when the shipment is created.

Cases in the Sent for TryIn status are now consistently displayed with the pliers case icon and cases in the Invoiced for TryIn status are displayed with the dollar sign icon.

In previous versions, all preferences from all departments were added under the department preferences and there was no way to know which  preference belonged to which department. This has been enhanced for clarity.

 

Employees - Tasks:

On the  Tasks tab, there is a new option to 'Copy Tasks to another Employee'.  This option will allow users to copy assigned tasks from one employee record to another.

 

Corrections:

When entering a case from the left hand panel side bar option, if the case was set as a local case the Ship Date time was setting based off of the Carrier cutoff settings. This has been corrected so that the Local cutoff time will be set for local cases entered from the left hand panel side bar option.

When configuring a customer's Autopay settings for eCheck, users were experiencing an invalid error message when attempting to save requiring a credit card on file. This has been corrected and users no longer receive the invalid error message.

When ePops are sent to drivers, the message will now include the Customer (Doctor Name).

When selecting to change the due date of the first task in the schedule and reschedule all subsequent tasks, the subsequent tasks' due date were incorrectly clearing. This has been corrected and when this option is used the subsequent tasks are rescheduled instead of cleared.

In previous versions, when users would attempt to add taxes to the Product Taxes tab of a product that was not marked as a Taxable product, a server error would populate only. This has been enhanced and an error message will display the following text: "This Product is not Taxable. If you continue the Product will be Taxable. Are you sure you want to continue?"

When a case is invoiced for Try-In and a new case is created the date in is now set to the current day's date versus inheriting the date of the original case. Also, the due date of the new case will now be blank versus inheriting the due date from the original case.

On edit task, the QC Rating drop down menu and QC Date field are only available when the selected task has been completed

In previous versions, if users did not select a practice doctor when scheduling a pickup or if the practice doctor did not have a name, the doctor name defaulted to “Shipping Department”. As a result, when the driver was sent a text with the pickup information, the body displayed the doctor name as 'Shipping Department'.  This has been corrected.

Users were able to enter a value below or above the the Minimum and Maximum quantity set on a product, when the values were set to the same number.

In View System Log under the Administrator menu, the Date column was sorting as a number instead of as a date.  This has been corrected.

V10.7.4 Release Notes - March 14, 2016

Month-End Autopay:

This new feature allows users to configure customers' autopay settings to be charged on their credit card right before creating statements for month end. To configure a customer's setting and run this option, users must complete the following steps:

Check the new check box option called 'Include in Month-End Autopay only' on the Auto Pay section of the Customer settings.

Please note: Once activated, this option will replace the frequency settings of Auto Pay and will only run when the menu option for "Process Month-End Autopay is selected"

Case Alerts:

If on case entry there are any alerts, users may create a new alert based on the existing alert(s). Additionally, there is a new option which allows the user to copy the notes from the existing alert(s) to the new alert. The newly added alert will be then linked to the new case entered.

Some templates are used directly by client like Email Invoice and Estimate. Others are used by Job Processor and Automation server like Statements, Inbound Cases & Shipment, Credit Card Receipt, and Nightly Alerts and Invoices.

 

When sending Email from Client, the respective template and its subject is displayed and user may change them as needed. Those used by Automation Server had no option to set the Subject.

 

When selecting alert template from Lab Setting, the respective Subject from the template is now displayed. Users may now change the Subject as needed. The subject may be different from the one defined in the template or user may blank it out.

If Template Subject is blank, system will automatically generate an appropriate subject. The format of the Subjects are described below.

Some templates like Statement or Credit Card Receipt require generating a PDF file. The file name is composed by using the Subject plus some unique identifier. Example of file format is show below.

These changes would allow International Customers to define the Subject in local language.

All date fields are formatted according to the country code of the Lab. i.e. USA, France, Germany

Daily Alerts has been renamed to Nightly Alerts. Those templates currently used are not impacted and will function as-is.

Daily Inbound Cases and Shipments has been renamed to Inbound Cases and Shipments. The existing templates are not impacted.

Daily Invoices has been renamed to Nightly Invoices and the existing templates and Jobs are not impacted.

 

Default Subjects if one is not provided with the template:

Credit Card Receipt

Credit Card Receipt from XXX where XXX is the Lab Name

 

Case Communication

Case Communication from XXX where XXX is the Lab Name

 

Inbound Cases & Shipments

Case Summary for XXX from YYY where XXX is the date and YYY is the Lab Name

 

Nightly Invoices  –  One file

Invoices for XXX from YYY where XXX is the date and YYY is the Lab Name

 

Nightly Invoices – Separate file

Invoice (XXX) where XXX is the Invoice Number

If the Subject is defined by the template, (XXX) is automatically added to the Subject.

 

If template requires a PDF file to be generated, the format is as follow:

Subject_XXX_YYY where XXX is a random number and YYY is the date. For example, if the Subject is “Nightly Invoices”, the file name attached to the email will be “Nightly Invoices_1234_03-10-2016”. The date format is also localized according to the Lab country.

 

 

V10.6 Release Notes - December 22, 2015

Scheduling System, Multiple Pans

V10.3.3 Release Notes - September 11, 2015

New Feature: Print Server

This new option will redirect all report output to printer to a separate process. The printing will be performed in a separate process resulting in reducing the print time. This option is primarily designed for Remote Servers which requires additional printing time and generally not beneficial for Local Area Network. Users should compare the times by enabling and disabling this option.

 

The following areas are some examples that would benefit from Print Server option:

During Case Entry when operators need to continue on to the next case rapidly without waiting for printer

Batch Invoicing where operator would need to quickly scan the cases to invoice and move on to the next batch without needing to wait for printer as each case is invoiced.

Printing multiple reports without waiting for one to print before moving to the next report.

 

Please Note: Print options that are not generated from a Report are not supported with this option. For example, Shipping Manager and Mass Print options are not a report and not supported.

A new field "Skip Days" has been added to the "Start Next Day" feature. This field allows for users to specify the number of days to skip if the Task requires more than one day to complete. This option is available while editing a task on Case Edit, and on Task Edit on Product Tasks for a product.

When a case is invoiced, users have the option to change the Shipping Lab set on a case using the Actions menu without having to un-invoice the case.

When using the ALT hot keys to stamp the Work Order notes, the combination has been changed to Ctrl+M to resolve a conflict found where Alt+P was used to navigate to the Products tab.

V10.2.4 Release Notes - June 18, 2015

Customer Web Portal

The manufacturing option under the Preferences menu has been separated into two sub-menu options.

Please note: The option in the management console to access this menu must be enabled for users logging onto the Customer Web Portal to access the preferences.

When selecting the Product preferences, users have the ability to add, edit, or delete a preference for products. Similarly to default preferences, all of the product preferences match what users in DLCPM can review in the Product tab of the Preference section in the customer settings.

A new check box option has been added to Display the Warranty Info. (This option is off by default)

In the future, if your lab wishes to provide our Support Specialist team with the formula for Warranty cases, our technical team can update prior cases with the correct info so this option is more accurate.

Under the General tab, there is a new check box option to Notify users to refresh their sessions when the Global Settings are changed. This is a very useful feature so if an Administrator user modifies a setting, users do not need to log out and log back in.

Case Edit

While editing a case or adding a new case without selecting the Customer, (F2) key has been added to customer look up which will allow users to select a customer. This is the same list that comes up automatically when cases are added from the side bar.

The “Save & Close” option on Case Entry/Case Edit has been changed to “Save”. If the check box option located in each user's Personal settings for “When editing a case, keep it open on Save” is checked, if the user selects 'Save' the case will save and all post processes are done, the case remains open.

Multiple Products option on Case Entry/Case Edit has been modified:

There is a new option called "Add New" which will allow users to add a product  instead of selecting it from the list on the left hand side. This product selection is similar to using the add single product.

There is a new option available to create folders within the My Favorites select. Users can add products to user defined folders that will display when the My Favorites section is selected to display. This allows users that are working in different department to organize their favorite products according to the product for the respective department.

In previous versions, the Multiple Products form has always been slow on the first load and also slow as the operator switch between the radio buttons. In V10, this form and all options have been optimized for faster load times. Also, once the list is loaded for the first time, it is cached for future use.

 

New Case from left hand sidebar

If the option to automatically display the customer look up list is activated, and the check box is set to pre-load the list, the cursor is now positioned on the top grid. In previous versions, the cursor was always going to the Find field.

 

Mass Printing

If a Query is used, there is a new check box option called “This is a collection letter”. With this option enabled, the mass print will exclude customers with “No Collection Letter” check box checked on their customer form.

Please note: If this new option is selected, the record count will change to count only the customers that do not have the "No Collection Letter" check box checked.

 

Broadcast Email

If a Query is used, a new check box option called “This is a collection Email”. With this option enabled, the broadcast email will exclude customers with “No Collection Letter” check box is checked on their customer form.

When processing tasks, the status bar will be display with a short message using 3 different colors:

Green: all tasks were processed successfully

Red: no tasks were processed

Yellow: some tasks were processed successfully and some were not

 

Customer Form: Improvements

If users click on X to close the Customer form while maximized, in prior versions the system would take a long time to open the form again, in V10 we have optimized the time to load the form faster.

In prior versions, the Global, Personal and Customer settings were not caching which was causing longer reload times, in V10 the forms are not caching so reload times have been optimized for speed.

 

Epop History

When viewing epop history, the epop message now displays in the message column
