CREDIT:

1. The Search Engine "Target" selection can now be reordered. At each Search Engine, the OPTIONS button starts the process.
Once the columns have been selected and saved, the subsequent page allows for changing the order of the listed targets.
This is unique per each staff. By default, the order is set as it was prior to this update.

2. There is a new Staff Access assignment that can now be controlled. "IRB: ORC Recordings". If the ORC module is enabled for Pre-IRB recording for each protocol, staff can now be provided Read, Write, or no access to the system.

3. If the Protocol Department is Enabled, a new feature allows the field to be Required. It is a check box next to the "Enable" button under the Protocols section of System Variable Default Values.

4. In the Protocol Current Status Report, the user can get the IRB of Record included in the report if the "Last Review Date" option is selected as a column to include. Now, there is a new independent column available for IRB of Record.

5. The File Op > Staff > Edit Staff > Show Existing File page now displays Staff Resign Dates. They are red in color.

6. The File Op > IRB > Add\Edit IRB Meeting Dates module has been modified. The original module pulled every date from the data table, that could be serveral years in the past to several years into the future. The problem was that it loaded very slowly (sometimes taking 3-4 minutes). Now, a new "Starting Year" option allows for setting the year (2007) such that the oldest year pulled is the selected year. While the report may still take a full minute to load, it greatly reduces load time.

7. The Hospital Calendar now has the ability to have a "Private Event" associated with each event entry. The Private event shows up on "Mouse-Over", Edit, and Itinerary Listings only. It does *not* display on the main calendar page. The "Title" of this Private Event can be changed in File Operations > System > System Variable Defaults > Hospital Calendar. By default it is set to: "Staff Coverage". If you wish to disable this new feature, simply erase the title "Staf Coverage" and leave it blank.

8. Under the Financials for each protocol, the "Accrual" page contains information about Grants and Contracts. The dates associated with those entries now have the "Today" link available. This link is only displayed if the date is currently blank.

9. The "Protocols Made Available" Report now allows for emailing the results. For this function to work, the staff to receive the email must be in the system, and their email address must be entered. Then, under File Ops > System > Edit Staff Notifications of Patient Activities , there is a new column of checkboxes "New Protocols". When a check is in that box for the staff, it is that staff who will be included in the Mail To: listing.
