What’s New:

Canny Features (You asked, we delivered!)

  • Customer Portal users can now download the Order, Sample, and Test Attachments from their Customer Portal dashboard.
  • The Customer Portal V2 now supports Test-level field entry during the Order Request process. LIMS Admins can configure the fields their customers can enter in the Customer Portal configuration settings.
  • You can now create Tax rates for different regions and apply Taxes to Invoices. Tax on Invoices calculates on the Subtotal (after the Discount and Surcharges). The QuickBooks Online Integration supports these new Tax Line Items.
  • You can now update the Order status from the Order list page and Sample list page.
  • Integrators and API users can now see customer ID in SNS messages so that they can reduce the number of API calls required to know which customer an SNS message pertains to.
