Introduction (prior section) 2. Contents (this section) 3. Enhancements 4. Fixes 5. Known Issues 6. Post-CD release fixes -------------------------------------------------------- 3. Enhancements -------------------------------------------------------- PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS Significant performance improvements have been made when marking new results "seen". FIND RESULT BY SPECIMEN ID OR SSN Enhanced the Results Management page. Added the ability to find results by SPECIMEN ID, SSN, and ALPHA_SORT. SYNCHRONIZING "TERMINATED" and "INCLUDE IN RANDOMS" Logic has been added to the "before post" event when editing participant records, so that when the participant is marked terminated, then the "Include in Randoms" field will also be marked FALSE. This is more of a cosmetic change, since TERMINATED participants cannot be included in randoms anyway. HELP FILE The DP Live Administrator's Help file and user's manual have been written! -------------------------------------------------------- 4. Fixes -------------------------------------------------------- The following fixes resolved some issues introduced in DP Live v5.0. WRONG COMPANY NAME DPLive.DLL: Sometimes the wrong company name could be displayed in the result letter, if the USER has access to more than one company. This has been fixed in the result letter skin. ERROR MESSAGE IN GLOBAL SETTINGS DP Live Administrator: An error occurs when displaying the Remote/Auto-Admin page, preventing settings from initializing. LOOKUP WINDOWS FORGETTING PREFERENCES Lookup windows would not remember field positions and sizes after shutting down the application. PARTICIPANT TEMPLATE NOT OBEYED DPLIVE.DLL was not honoring the participant template. FIELD CO_DRV NOT FOUND A bug has been fixed in PART1LINE.HTM that prevented the user from updating the Termination or Random Selection status. An error "Field CO_DRV not found" would be reported. USER IS NOT LOGGED IN Home page link 'Get New Results' returns that the user is not logged in. This has been fixed. NOTIFICATION LETTER DRUG/DRUGS TERMINOLOGY Notification Letter says "Drugs" when it should say "Drug". NETWORK UPDATE ISSUES There was a problem where DP Live was not detecting records that were added from another workstation, unless the system was restarted. THIS HAS BEEN FIXED! SEARCH WAS CASE SENSITIVE Collection site search by city or description would not work unless the database values were stored in ALL CAPS. Now these searches will work case-insensitively. DUPLICATE SSN ENTRY Under some circumstances, a duplicate SSN could be entered in the same company. This has been fixed. SSN REPEATED FOR ALL RECORDS Fixed a bug in the Results Long Form report, where the same SSN was being listed for each result. ALPHABETIC SORTING Fixed a small bug in the Alpha-Sort generation routine. Only the last name was being recorded in the Alpha Sort field when a participant record was saved. This has been fixed. To retroactively rebuild all alpha sort fields, run DrugPak "Tools | Advanced | Update Participant Names / Alpha Sort" -------------------------------------------------------- 5. Known Issues -------------------------------------------------------- You can keep up-to-date with the latest version of DrugPak by visiting our Update page on the web: http://drugpak.com/dp52 -------------------------------------------------------- 6. Post-CD release fixes -------------------------------------------------------- 1. The Result Letter page was showing only the first letter of the result status ("N", "P", etc.) for each substance. Now it will spell out the word ("Negative", "Positive", etc.). 2. The result letter has been redesigned to more closely approximate the (new) standard DP Result Letter, including fetching the Non-/DOT comments, and including adulterant/dilute/substituted/COC-Date/and Sample Type. 3. Changes were made to the style sheet to improve printing. Now the fonts you see in the browser will also be used when printing. 4. A bug was fixed in the DP Live Administrator, which caused the Last Name and First Name fields to be reversed. The fields have been switched around, and a special button placed between them to make it easy to switch them back (one-by-one). 6. It is now possible to print multiple Result Letters at once. When printing, each result letter prints on a separate page. The latest versions of Internet Explorer, and Netscape are supported. a) "Result Letter Format" is now available on the "Custom Result List". b) When viewing "New Results," a special link is available at the top of the page to view all new Result Letters. These will appear in a new window. 7. The new Result Letter format now supports the standard DOT message and Non-DOT messages (for DOT and Non-DOT results, respectively, of course.) 8. New special replacement tags have been added. <#TAG ...> <#COMMENTON>,<#COMMENTOFF> 9. Remote Admin responses were not visible in Netscape, due to an HTML syntax error in the DPLIVE.DLL response. This has been fixed. 10. A general enhancement was made to the Cascading Style Sheet, to support the designed fonts in all printed reports. Previously all printed output was using the browser's default font. This was due to a faulty CSS link statement. media="screen" has been replaced with media="all" 11. Marking results seen has new warning message. Now, when the user clicks the "Mark these results 'seen'", a confirmation window appears warning that the current results will be cleared. This is to give them a chance to cancel, if they (for example) have not yet printed the result letters. After clicking OK, the results are marked "Seen" and then the browser is redirected back to the Results options page. 12. [All Pages] button at top of reports. This appears with the other report navigation tools, if the report is broken across multiple "pages" 13. Various items suppressed in print. Items like the main navigation menu, and remote-administrative menu, and page navigation controls are suppressed when printing. This is accomplished with the updated DPSTYLE.CSS file segment: @media print { BODY { margin: 0px ; } .noprint { display: none ;} }
