Version 2.3.90 February 2025

This Merlin - Version 90 release contains a handful of enhancements to include favourite reports, patient reminder merge fields and clarity around the food chain drop down within patient details.

In addition, there are various bug fixes included.


Enhancements

We have made the following improvements: 

Ability to create a list of favourite reports 

We have created the ability to save and view a list of favourite reports by user in Standard Reports, which can then be selected and used via the new 'Select Favourite' button. 

How to use

Alongside the report, the user is presented with a star which is blank/white by default, if not tagged as a favourite. The user can select the star to set the report as a favourite, when it will become active/gold and added to the favourite list.  This can aid in easier access by the user to frequently used reports.  There is currently a maximum of 10 reports that can be recorded as favourites by a user.

In addition to favourite report function, we have also added a 'Select Recent' reports button.  This presents a list the most recently used reports by users.  This can aid in easier access by the user to recently used reports without saving as a Favourite report.  There is currently a maximum of 10 reports that can be recorded as recently used for a user.

Collapse merge the same patient / client on reminders screen

We have improved the functionality of the 'AllAnimals' merge field when used in patient related communications where there are more than one patient.  This improves the presentations of multiple pet name by introducing an 'and' in-between the last two names.  Making it read better within the communication. 

Removal of the Currency symbol on Standard Report templates

The currency symbol removed for the reports "Month End - By Surgeon Summary" & "Stock Out – Sales" to support the standardisation of report outputs.

Food Chain Dropdown

When viewing the “Intended for food chain” flag in the Patient Details screen, and it was unchecked, you couldn't be sure if it was because the animal is NOT intended for the food chain, or the flag had not been checked yet.

We have changed this to a dropdown list with 3 values; 'Blank' (meaning no selection has been made), "Yes" (the animal IS intended for the food chain), and "No" (the animal IS NOT intended for the food chain).

On implementation of this if the flag has been checked then the value will be "Yes", if the flag is unchecked then the value will be 'Blank'.
