Release 7.6.016 https://www.iflow.net/blog/736 <div style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0pt;"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Release 7.6.016</span> </div> <p>In this release we've removed old features that are no longer relevant, re-arranged options to match the new Mon, 11 Jul 2022 00:00:00 GMT Dermot O'Sullivan Release 7.6.016

In this release we've removed old features that are no longer relevant, re-arranged options to match the new video tutorials and made adjustments to some screens.

The most noticeable change for some users will be the Did Not Attend item in the Appointments Menu. This has been moved from the Confirmation Status to the Attendance Status menu areas.

The reason for the change is to clarify that Confirmation Status is the prediction of whether a client will attend the appointment or if the appointment has been cancelled.

The Attendance Status is the actual record of the client's attendance. It can also used to mark when a client is in a waiting room or active in the appointment.

  • The Account Code now appears on the bottom-right of the screen
  • New clients now must have at least a first or last name
  • Client screen now shows 2 pie charts separating out attendance from confirmations
  • Some fields on the User edit dialog box have been removed
  • The "instructional reminder" option has been removed as we now use a more advanced scheduling framework
  • The Resource Screen has a new button to add optional Available Times to resources
  • The delete button has been removed from the Appointments screen. Delete can still be found in the Appointments Menu
  • Removing the ability to add Recall appointments from the Appointments screen
  • Removed "Hisorical DNA" as a confirmation status

Recent updates have been about improving performance and fixing some pesky bugs. However, an important policy change has been put in to effect.

The change is that appointments will require one more clients to be selected. Most users will be unaffected by this policy change.

If you have been making appointments in order to block out times we recommend that you use Blocked Times feature to do this.

The reason for the change is to improve DiaryBook's ability to monitor the quality of its service by clarifying the users' intent when entering data which in turn helps us catch non-conformities.

As we continue to implement ISO 9001 quality management, we are finding more ways to ensure quality in our service and to bring even more benefits to our users.

Happy Halloween!
