Release Notes Samples

Example of release tickets:

1. Enhancement Ticket MED-014: Reporting tool upgrade to return monthly, yearly records. Given an end user, and the user selects monthly for the filter option, then the report displays with the Hospital Name, Product Code, Product Specifications, # Ordered, Expiration Dates, Order Dates, Returned y/n, Re-Order y/n. Given an admin user and the user selects yearly for the filter option, then the report displays with the Hospital Name, Product Code, Product Specifications, # Ordered, Expiration Dates, Order Dates, # Returns, # Re-Orders, AVG., Offset Date. Offset date compares previous month/year's Average # per type of items to current month/year's Average # per type of items. Report only calculates an Offset date if a full previous month or year's records are available.
2. Enhancement Ticket MED-023: New configuration option to add specializations. Given an admin user, and the user recognizes a hospital specialization - such as heart clinic, pediatric, surgery, imaging, etc. - then admin user can choose from specialization list in client attributes area. Given a specialization is set for a client, end user gets Specialty Products page instead of regular products home page after login. All other tabs available as normal but should allow most useful products to display first.

Sample 1: External Release Notes

AUDIENCE AND PURPOSE: End Users who have a grasp of how to use the search and shopping cart functions, know how to run a report, but only have access to their individual hospital's records. Defect fixes are not ordinarily entered in External Notes because the fix restores the expected or previous/correct behavior and usually are only encountered by impacted users.

UPDATES IN THIS VERSION

1. MONTHLY AND YEARLY FILTER FOR REPORTS

With the release of v2.1.0, the reporting tool has been updated to add a new filter which can be used to export your site's monthly or yearly records. This expands the existing sort options by providing a relevant time period that will compare the average number of particular items ordered from month to month, or year to year. The new filter will be particularly helpful for high-volume purchasers to determine which items are ordered the most, reordered most frequently prior to the next order cycle, and how many tend to expire before they can be used. The filtered report is exported with columns for your Hosital Name, Product Code, Product Description and Specification, Number of the Product Ordered, Product Expiration Date, Date Ordered, whether the item was Returned, Whether the item was Reordered before the next order cycle, Average of items ordered, and Offset Date which compares the current average to the previous average. If Monthly filter is used, then the context is for the month, and if yearly, then the context is for the year.

NOTE: The report only calculates the Offset Date if a previous month or year's records are available. If not, the filter can be used, but the Offset Date column will be empty.

NEW FEATURES IN THIS VERSION
