Read300d (Version 3.01.04) - May 2009 .... June 2009

Access Permissions

119 Edit priced lines - this option has been expanded so that if users cannot edit priced lines they will also not be allowed to change financial amounts via AP.
148 Can the user edit stock cards marked 'Controlled'

Data Major

Two new update options have been added:

SET UPDATE STATUSADD Add a Status Code to a card
SET UPDATE STATUSDEL Remove (Delete) a Code to a card

In both cases you will be unable to alter the two codes DD and BD as these are handled separately.

The animal table has had the following added:

  • Last Billed Date
  • Last Billed Amount

    • The next two apply at present only to sites using the older diary version:

  • Next Appointment Date
  • Diary Queue

    • There is a new script 'apptdd' on the animal index that will list all animals marked Dead (Status DD), that have a future appointment.

    The Stock table (stockprice) has had Milk and Meat withhold details along with any label warning added to it.

    You may have had scripts in the past you created on fly and have now 'forgotten' about. An option on :

    Utilities -> Query Maint -> Orphaned scripts This can be used to list any scripts not assigned to an index.

    Tied to Clinical Transactions there is a separate table with the details - see the On-Line manual for details.

    Protocols

    Two new '[Show' options have been added:

    [SHOW CLASS Show the Classification (if any) the animal is in
    [SHOW STATUS Displays the animal Status field

    You may want to ask the user who is doing the work, or change the transaction date - you can use:

    [ASK xxx

    Where xxx can be: User - Who is doing the work
      Date - Transaction date

    With the [GOTO tag you can add an IF option to only jump to the label if an option is valid. The obvious example would be one protocol for Dogs and Cats but jumping to the correct section automatically based on the species. See [Goto tag in the manual for details.

    Definition Files

    The .filter command in definition files, this is now scanned for reserved words. The main anticipated use for this will be including reference number in the command.

    .CSV is used, will cause all reserved words to be processed as normal however, if the replacement text contains a comma ',' then the text will be quoted. This is aimed at definition files that are being mailed or exported to other systems.

    @Date(a date) - This addition to the Date processing options, will take the date specified and return the American format. e.g. 12.05.2009 will be returned as 2009-05-12.

    Attachments

    The system will try to generate thumbnail images of PDF and TXT files stored on the attachment screen. By default, it will look for a program '/usr/local/bin/convert' to handle the conversion.

    If you do not have ImageMagick installed or installed in another location you can set the following params.txt entries: 

         Convert_PDF = /path/and/options to convert 
    
     Convert_TXT = /path/and/options to convert

    The Convert_PDF entry is used to display a full thumbnail and just shrink it, the Convert_TXT entry will still shrink it but should keep it readable.

    If you set Convert_PDF = NO then no conversion will be attempted.

    Currently this convert option will be called for files ending in .PDF or .TXT only. If there are other attachment types you are receiving on a regular basis please do let us know.

    NOTE: Thumbnail Images are handled by Anita, your Terminal Emulator, and should be automatic.
    If you do not see the Images please check In Anita:

    Config -> Preferences -> View -> Enable Standard Hotstops MUST be Ticked
    View -> History Scrollback must NOT be Ticked.
