What’s New:

Canny Features (You asked, we delivered!)

  • We have added additional fields to the Equipment API response payload.
  • You now have the option to create and open a Batch in a new tab when creating it from the Test List Page.
  • You can now select a Quotation on the Order creation screen so that Samples/Tests are auto-created once the Order gets created.
  • Invoices now sync prices from a Quotation if an Order is associated with a Quotation so that your Customer can use the Quoted prices.

Customer Portal V2

  • When viewing the Customer Portal V2 Order Request Review page, the values now reflect the quotation if there is a quotation applied.
  • When selecting an Assay/Panel in the Customer Portal V2, the prices now reflect the price on the quotation if the user selected a quotation.
  • A Customer Portal V2 Order Request with flat or percentage surcharges/discounts now says “Estimated Order Total” on the Order Request Review page and there is a popover explaining why it’s estimated.
  • Customer Portal V2 users can now see their outstanding balance owed to your laboratory in their Customer Portal navigation bar.

Spreadsheet Worksheets

  • You can now use a dollar sign reference for Inventory Items and Inventory Stock Fields associated with a Plate Map. This allows you to refer to the Inventory Item Name on a Batch or Batch Protocol Worksheet.
  • You can now add borders to individual table cells in Spreadsheet Worksheets.

Reports

  • You can now access Visual Editor Starter Templates for Labels, Chain of Custody Reports, Certificate of Analysis Reports, and Invoices to help you learn how to use the Visual Report Template Editor.
