CREDIT:
1. The Protocol PI now displays in the Protocol Toolbox below the Mini-Menu.

2. The Protocol Research team can now have specific "Participation Tasks" or "Functions" or "Duties" associated per protocol. There is a "File Op > Protocols >Protocol Staff Participation Options" link to manage the selections available for the Research Team.

3. The Prestudy Bulk Screener now has a memory such that values from the previously entered screening default in the dropdown selections for the next addition.

4. The Patient Protocol Arm Notes have had the ability to be "Locked" for a couple of years now. This newest update allows for setting the order of the data when saving. The default order is "Date, Staff, Note". In FileOps > System > System Variable Defaults > Patients\Study > Lock Patient Arm Notes when Saved, there is now the option of setting the data order. Further, there is an option to have the newly added notes Appended to the End of existing notes, or Appended to the Top of the existing notes. The default it Append to End.

5. The Patient Data Management Log now allows for updating the Request and Due Dates for events that are Self-Repeating. A simple check box allows for designating which entries to update. The new Request Date is loaded and there is an "Update" button that submits the request. Only Self-Repeating entries can be updated as the Self-Repeating values are used to compute the new Due Date.

6. The Patient Data Management Log now allows for creating future entries based on the Self-Replicating entry. Originally, the new event were created when the existing entry was completed. Now, when a new entry is loaded, there is a check box to "Create All Entries Now!". Checking the box does not simply que up future log entries, it creates the entries immediately. For this feature to work, there MUST be a Self-Repeating Limit. The value loaded into the Limit box will be the number of *additional* log entries to make into the future.

7. Financial Direct Costs has a Notes feature. Traditionally those notes for each Direct Cost appeared on the Invoice along with the Direct Cost Description. Now, however, there is a checkbox next to the Notes in the Direct Cost page. Checking the box denotes that the Notes should be included on the Invoice. Unchecking the box eliminates the notes from appearing on the Invoice. Each Direct Cost entry can have the notes turned on\off for Invoice printing. The default is ON for all existing events. Those events can be edited to uncheck the box for invoice printing.

8. When Financial Milestones are collected for Patient Calendar Events, the event notes can now be included in the Invoice Printout. There is a new checkbox next to each note for each calendar event when collecting milestones. Placing a check in the box for selected patient events insures that the note listed will be printed on the invoice. If the box is left unchecked (default), or the notes are blank, the notes will not be printed on the line item for the invoice.

9. Financial Requests for Payment (RFP), also now allows for line-item note inclusion in the RFP Printout.

2. The Protocol DAR now has a new button at the bottom of the page "Pharmacy Notes". The button pops up an Editor to allow for adding text to the note. Font, color, and size are all capable in the editor. Once saved, a window will show the note and prompt to "Close Window". The DAR will need to be refreshed to show the note pad.
