9.4.0.457 (11 Apr 2011)

 

The General Changes in EE

  • One may now perform a Selective Recalc for any Statistical Module, allowing recalculations for
    selected instruments or analytes. (EEC017)
  • The Inventory screen accessed from File,Project Inventory and from the File Manager cut off the
    Status column. This has been fixed. (EEC214)
  • Help was written for the Audit Viewer, AuditVue (EEC229)
  • The software now warns the user if the end of the licensing period is within 60 days, within 30
    days, and every time the software is run within 15 days (EEC255)
  • An error could appear when previewing report data, then deleting the experiment, and then
    attempting to paste it back into the module overview screen. This has been fixed. (EEC256)
  • LOB data has been added to PasteWithPoliciesList.XLS in the Resources folder. (EEC262)
  • HIS data has been added to PasteExptDetail.XLS in the Resources folder. (EEC269)
  • Downloading a new version now checks available disk space prior to starting the download. An
    informative message will be displayed if enough space does not exist. (EEC288)
  • A spelling error appeared on the window that shows when files are restructured for upgrade.
    This has been fixed. (EEC289)
  • The "New Software Available" hint on the upper right part of the main EE screen may now be
    disabled by adding the file "NoNewRelMessage" in the main EE folder. (EEC300)
  • Data Exported from EE and then modified in Excel can now be Imported back into EE. (EEC318)

AMC

  • Percent Bias is now calculated and displayed on the AMC report output, and on the Stats tab
    of the experiment detail screen. (EEC320)

AON

  • The AON Data Manager will now accept dates that are in yyyy-mm-dd format. (EEC186)

CO

  • If an experiment with insufficient data was imported into the Carryover module, a vague warning
    would appear in the activity log. This has been clarified to include the words "insufficient
    data". (EEC267)

ERI/ROC

  • ERI/ROC produced an error when the Experiment, New or F3 Add options were used. This has been fixed. (EEC290)
  • There was a spelling error on the ROC Comparison, Detail screen. This has been fixed. (EEC294)
  • The ERI/ROC data definition box that appears when you choose to add a new experiment using F3 Add or Experiment, New functions, showed cut-off text. This has been fixed. (EEC312)
  • There was a spelling error on the Datasheet Description box in ERI/ROC (accessed from F2
    Rename). This has been fixed. (EEC313)
  • ERI/ROC can now acquire data from IM; ERI/ROC does not require the presence of Policies in
    order to acquire data from IM. Also see IM_ODBC in this document for new ERI/ROC data
    acquisition features.

HIST

  • The user can now enter a cutoff percentile in the Parameters screen, and the cutoff result
    value is computed and displayed on the screen and in the report. (EEC216)

INR - GEO

  • The ISI field on the parameters for INR-GEO experiments had a descriptor added that states what
    the allowed values are for the field. (EEC266)

IM_ODBC

  • Rapid Results Entry, Connect to Instrument Manager how can access data in the IM Archive
    database. This is available on the main IM ODBC Connection screen from the Connection menu.
    (EEC202)
  • Patient demographic data can now be accessed when acquiring data for ERI/ROC experiments. The specific IM fields are defined in a new file in the EE9 folder, called "ODBC_IM_ERI_Fields.txt". The most useful IM fields are sex/gender and date of birth (from
    which age is computed). (EEC307)
  • Data acquired from IM is now saved in the \EE9\DATA\STUDIES\project\RRE folder (where "project" is the name of your project/study) in a file named "ss-IM_ODBC-nnn.TXT" (where "ss" is an abbreviation for the Statistical Module, and "nnn" is an incrementing number). (EEC151)

Simple Accuracy

  • When pasting data into the overview screen, only 7 of 11 levels were accepted by EE. This has
    been fixed. (EEC295)

Incident Tracking

  • The Enter/Edit button in Incident Tracking was split into two buttons : Enter Incidents (for
    adding new incidents to the database) and Edit Incidents (for modifying existing incidents).
    (EEC134)
  • A new Copy Database option was added to the File menu of Incident Tracking. Only the Setup
    options will carry over to the new database (with the option to copy user logins); existing
    incidents will not be copied. (EEC135)
  • Incident Tracking uses the institution information entered into EP Evaluator (when the unlock
    code is provided) on report headers and screens. (EEC137)
  • In one case, the incident displayed when the Details button was clicked from the Browse window
    was not the one selected in the grid. This has been fixed. (EEC138)
  • Close Incident and Re-Open Incident buttons were added to the incident tracking form. The
    'Re-Open Incident Reports' permission was added to security, and the Administrators and
    Investigators security groups initially have this permission. Closed incidents are unable to be
    edited and will need to be re-opened by a user with the appropriate permissions. (EEC141)
  • Users can now print a data entry form, as well as a list of fields and valid field values, from
    the Setup screen; this data can also be placed in the clipboard to allow creation of custom
    forms using Excel. Cosmetic problems with the printed report have also been fixed.
    (EEC140, EEC201)
  • A Print Preview button was added to both the Enter and Edit Incidents screens. (EEC194)
  • Fields that are flagged as Investigator-Only in Setup are now neither displayed nor editable in
    the Incident Editor, in Browse, and in Breakdown. (EEC199)
  • If Incident Tracking Setup fields were set to Show Investigator Only = Yes and the logged in
    user did not have the permission 'Edit Investigator Fields' in security, the values would show
    with asterisks in the Browse grid; they now show as blank fields. (EEC328)

Inventory (SIS)

  • The 'Has Lots' column is now a sortable column in the grid on the Items screen. (EEC3)
  • The Transaction Viewer now shows the name of the user logged in while making the change, and to which lot number (if applicable). (EEC83)
  • Institution information entered into EP Evaluator (when the unlock code is provided) is now
    used on report headers and screens. (EEC137)
  • It is now possible to produce a QOH report using a subset of selected items on the QOH screen.
    Additionally, the option to print a QOH report is now available on the Items screen (however,
    it will show all records on this screen and not only-selected). (EEC154)
  • The text on the 'Stop Asking' checkbox when the user accesses the 'Select Database' window in
    Inventory (SIS) was changed to 'Always use above database'. (EEC157)
  • The copyright date was adjusted to 2011. (EEC158)
  • Count Sheets are now correctly being created from the QOH screen. Also, the ability to create
    shopping lists and count sheets from the Items screen has been disabled. (EEC159)
  • The Shopping List Report was modified to include Lot Number and Expiration Date columns.
    Additionally, non-expired lot numbers will now be shown on a separate line on the report and a
    line with a blank lot number will be created for items with lots so users can easily write in
    a new lot number. (EEC160)
  • When a new lot number for a reagent is received while adding to inventory via a shopping list,
    adding the new lot number required the user to go back to the Items screen and input it there
    first. This has been improved by making a right-click 'Add New Lot' option available on
    Shopping Lists so the new lot can be added from there. (EEC161)
  • A Print Preview option has been added to the Print Barcode Labels window. (EEC162)
  • A Set Sequence Order utility has been added onto the Items screen to allow for arranging items
    in groups, changing the group name for all items assigned to it, and moving items from one
    group to another. This feature is also tied to the security permission of "modify inventory
    items" which is only assigned to Administrators by default. (EEC163)
  • When the option to print a manual count sheet is used, a new window will appear which allows
    the user to choose from a few different sort options. The option used will be remembered until
    the selection is changed. (EEC164)
  • The Item Name field on the Items screen was increased to accommodate 30 characters. (EEC165)
  • Inventory (SIS) has been changed from DBISAM 3 to DBISAM 4. (EEC166)
  • An error would occur when Inventory (SIS) was closed. This has been fixed. (EEC170)
  • An error would occur in a foreign country using a comma for a decimal separator in the
    calculator of the count sheet. This has been fixed. (EEC181)
  • If an Item with Lots defined needs to be ordered, the Shopping List now contains an entry for
    every Lot that has not yet expired. Additionally, all of the Items in the Shopping list can
    have barcodes printed, with multiple barcodes printing for items with more than one non-expired
    lot. (EEC206)
  • Inventory (SIS) reports will now all show 'Simple Inventory System' in the header instead of
    'EP Evaluator'. (EEC207)
  • Documentation was added to the Help file for Inventory (SIS) on Reference, Processing Bar Codes
    from the Clipboard. (EEC291)
  • The font size on the header for the Items screen versus the QOH screen was different. This has
    been fixed. (EEC302)
  • The Items screen grid where lot information is entered would sometimes appear to hide the first
    lot entered until the grid was closed and reopened. This has been fixed. (EEC304)
  • Documentation for the Inventory Adjustments Report was added to the Inventory (SIS) Help file.
    (EEC309)
  • In some cases, expired lot numbers (which should never have barcodes printed) were producing
    barcode printouts. This has been fixed. (EEC311)
  • On the QOH screen, the Create Shopping List and Create Count Sheet options were separated on
    all menus. Additionally, when a new item or lot is defined on the Items screen, a default
    Physical Inventory transaction of 0 and a date of 01 Jan 2000 is created automatically. The
    right-click 'Set Physical Inventory to Zero' option on the QOH screen will no longer appear
    when right-clicking on a Lot (as all lots will have their Physical Inventory set to zero
    regardless). (EEC314)
  • A 'Database Check' option has been added to the Utilities menu to display potential setup
    problems on the Items screen that may result in some items missing on reports. Additionally, an
    error count will be displayed at the bottom of the Items screen, indicating that the DB Checker
    should be reviewed for errors. (EEC315)
  • Expired lots will now be shown in red on shopping lists and count sheets. (EEC316)
  • If two lots were defined for an item and only one had its Physical Inventory set from a list,
    the second would "disappear" from the lots dropdown on the QOH screen. This has been fixed.
    (EEC325)
