Full Release Notes

New Features:

HIGH RISK

  • New Administration setting will be available: “require comment on specimen record changes”. If activated, the user must enter or modify the comment in order to be able to save the Edit Primary and Edit Aliquot popups. (R-24616/R-24617)
  • Users can now add samples for multiple PIDs in Quick Add simultaneously. The user can define a list of participant IDs and then define a sample collection kit to be applied to all participants at once. (R-36922)
  • During shipping import users will be notified if the file contains a new project that does not exist in their database. If the new project is not expected the import can be cancelled. (R-37392)
  • XLIMS shipping import now sets the clinic value for VTN records based on the PID. This allows Web LDMS labs to receive XLIMS shipments of VTN samples if needed. (R-35823)
  • Users can QA/QC shipments by scanning non-LDMS generated barcodes. The value in the scanned barcode must match to the value set in Other Specimen ID for QA to pass. (R-36757)
  • Added support for Abbott COVID SARS-2 assay (R-36756)
  • PK assays, including the control chart option, are now supported in Web LDMS (R-36859, R-38259, R-38260)
  • Storage Log transactions now shown on the transaction log report (R-36934)
  • TaqMan Qual assay transactions now shown on the transaction log report (R-36948)
  • Transaction log report will show global IDs associated with transactions even after samples have been deleted (R-36629)
  • Added a feature that allows users to change records from an internally logged project to a hardcoded project. This feature is challenge code protected. (R-38166)
  • ID1/PATID validation check added for the CoVPN project. This check has been initially added for 3008 only. (R-38754)
  • Added option to allow Frontier Science to deactivate standard ACTG/IMPAACT PID check for studies identified by Network Leadership (R-38584)

LOW RISK

  • Added Date and User info to the storage Action Report (R-29771)
  • Other Specimen ID field now holds 17 characters and can fit the full Web LDMS v3 Global Specimen ID (R-31914)
  • User can now set ‘import directly into storage’ as the default in System Settings (R-34507)
  • Samples marked as SNC will no longer be displayed in Time to Process and Time to Freeze QA reports (R-34878)
  • Shipment carrier and tracking number will be present on the manifest report (R-34956)
  • New Storage Action Report option: only show actions since previous action report was generated. This option allows the storage action report to be narrowed to only show ‘new’ items that must be acted on. (R-35182)
  • LDMS now plays a different sound when scanning in QA/QC, depending on if the sample was passes or fails (R-35703)
  • Users can now use asterisks as a wildcard character for the Like and Not Like qualifiers in the Custom Report Builder. (R-35834)
  • Double/Decimal numbers are now either truncated or rounded during shipping import. This specifically applies to import of non-LDMS shipping files where items like volume may be set with more precision than what LDMS supports. (R-35978)
  • The Shipping Storage report has been updated to group and sort specimens by storage location to make them easier to physically locate within a freezer. (R-36478)
  • 1D and 2D Barcode reports are now accessible from storage, shipping, and test results modules. This allows the user to generate a list of barcodes for all items in a container or on a test run for easy scanning. (R-36586)
  • Clinic ID added to Search Criteria for Storage Detail Report (R-36625)
  • Specimen Log report can now be generated with Test Ordered criteria (R-36691)
  • Dual 1D/2D barcode labels are now available. Labels can now have both the standard 2D LDMS barcode (with global ID) to be able to scan into LDMS, etc., as well as a 1D PID with the PID embedded to be scanned into other devices (R-36794)
  • Other Specimen ID now supported for selecting specimens from an uploaded file (R-36870)
  • Improved loading times for large shipping boxes (R-36876)
  • Users with view only access in custom reports can now generate reports using existing queries (R-36933)
