Again we had many small changes and improvements. These are the most important.
Unassigned examinations (Link Mode): During import (data receive) examinations of "other" patients are directed into the "Reserve" database. When started from the medical record software, PeriData searches automatically in the Reserve database for unassigned examinations, whose name matches the current patient. When a match is found, the visual fields are moved to the patient database (with confirmation). The new "Move" button can also be used for manual selection of matching examinations.
Settings Report: The current Options settings are saved to a textfile and can be printed. This is useful when computers are replaced or when support by our PeriData hotline is needed.
Configuration Assistant: After a new installation, this very useful assistant will start and help to make the basic settings for different installation types. It can be started also later in the menu Info&Help.
Print message window: All message windows have a print button in the upper right corner. This will store and open a text file, which can be printed or sent to the PeriData support.
Close message window: Minor important message windows are closing after some seconds and do not have to be confirmed any more. Some messages can be finished with ESC. The important messages must still be confirmed.
FREY Perimeter, TOMEY Perimeter, Rodenstock2-Perimeter: The data connection with the perimeters Frey AP-600/600L, Tomey AP-3500/4000 and Rodenstock Perimat2/Peristat2 has been completed after intensive work. The examinations are sent to PeriData and are shown on the screen with all PeriData features, for example Progression Trend together with examinations from other instruments.
Search function can "find next": The search window now has the "find next" button. The next match is indicated, the window remains open. This is useful if you do not know the exact name (e.g. "Miller", first name unknown). When the search window has been closed again, the F3 key still works
Sort key clearly visible: The current sort key in the examination list (database window) is shown with arrows in the column header (e.g. DATE>>>). This is more clearly than the stars ** used before.
Options: The windows for the program settings (options) are newly arranged and reduced from 6 to 3 tabs. The favorite image type is defined only inside the visual field windows with the star button.
Data errors - documentation improved: Error messages during data transmission are now documented in greater detail. This enables our hotline support team to identify the cause more easily and find solutions more quickly.
Help improved: The Help function was continously revised. Many messages have better text and some got a help button providing additional information. And it always pays out to press F1 and look for a keyword.
Support routines improved: More log files are written. And the program messages are improved. This helps our support team to identify the origin of problems easier. In the last month we could see a considerable effect.
