Read220g Premvet 5 (Version 2.20.04) - June 2005

Updated Scripts: The two clinical scripts (notana and notgrp) have been updated.

New option for output to browsers: #HTML Table 7 style-sheet This allows the system to apply a 'style' from the style-sheet specified. The .css file should reside in the text folder.

If you are using a web based search system e.g. VetDACS you can call this from with Automatic Pricing using the ^34= meta character. e.g. Add ^34=Synulox on the extras line will pass 'synulox' over to the search engine.

The default will use the existing Web_Document entry (defaults to your local server) and appends cgi-bin/websearch.pl?search=

You can over-ride the default via the params.txt entry Web_Search = the parameter passed with ^34 will be appended to the Web_Search line.

Few changes in the way the system handles batch numbers:

• Increased number available to 28
• Fractional units can be stored e.g. 12.5
• Batch numbers will be displayed in a scroll-able box, with the oldest first. When accessed via AP, batches with zero quantity will be suppressed.

The following options are now available to all versions of the O.S.

• History Report via E-Mail

  See: http://www.premvet.co.uk/premvet/faq/repmail.html

• The 'Look' option in the print spooler will filter out printer codes making it easier to read.

• The 'Full-Text' search in DataMajor.

The sample Identi-Chip form has been updated. - nidenti.def It will use the site specific reserved word &site6 for your 'Vet Code'.

A set of 'Flags' has been added to the animal record cards. There are eleven in total - they are displayed from the additional screen and can be either Yes or No.

Descriptions are set via the params.txt entry MR_Flag_X = Description, where X is the flag number, e.g. to Add 'Drug Reaction' to flag 3 you would add MR_Flag_3 = Drug Reaction

You can have the system defaulting to displaying the Flags when the additional screen is displayed by setting Additional_Right = Flag.

When the flags are displayed on the right of the screen the prompt line will have a 'toggle' option - this is used to edit the flags - they can either be set to Yes or No, the default being No. Pressing ESC will exit the edit option back to the prompt line. The Flags will cross update.

The Flags are available in the animal table of DataMajor and are called MR_Flag_X, where X is the flag number. Flags can be set via the automatic pricing meta-characters 35 & 36. ^35=flag will set 'flag' to No and ^36=flag will set it to Yes.

Flags can be set via DataMajor using SET UPDATE MRFLAG. The system will look in the 1st column for animal number, 2nd for flag to set and the last for what to set it to.

In conjunction with the Management Flags above, the params.txt entry MR_Flag_Alert = x,x,x .... This will pop-up a box when the animal is first accessed if the flag x is set to yes.

Multiple flags can be specified by separating them with comma's e.g. To alert the user if any of the flags 1, 5 and 10 are set then add MR_Flag_Alert = 1, 5,10

• Batch Reconciliation - A new Stock report that will compare the quantity in stock with Batch quantities has been added.

• A Problem with Tattoo numbers on Equine records has been fixed.

• A problem with the AP_FLO params.txt entry has been fixed.

• Milk and Meat withhold period details are added to clinical even if no label printed.

• The 'V'iew option in the print spooler will by-pass the filtering of printer codes (use 'L'ook if that is required).

• Pdsa Mode: The Wipe option will no longer reset the classification.

• Update_server - For Corporate's that may have a web server on an internal network - adding the params.txt entry Update_Server = server name The update system will query that server rather than the default of www.premvet.co.uk

• The discount/tag details encoded in the clinical line will now cross update.
