What’s New:

Canny Features (You asked, we delivered!)

  • You can now configure quantity and volume discounts for Invoices.
  • You can now specify a custom Turnaround surcharge for Panels.
  • You can now specify customer-specific Turnaround surcharges.
  • See more specifics in the Orders and Billing section below.

Customer Portal

  • You can now send a Quote for acceptance, view the Quote, and create an Order from a Quote in the Customer Portal V2.

File Parsers

  • You can now trigger No-Code File Parsers without needing to upload from a Test or Batch. This allows you to upload a csv file with batch IDs to update each corresponding batch.
  • You can now update multiple tests with the No-Code File Parsers.

Spreadsheet Worksheets

  • Spreadsheet Worksheets will now warn users if they are attempting to overwrite worksheet data that another user is simultaneously editing.

Reports

  • Admin users can now duplicate Report Templates.

Orders and Billing

  • You can now create special rush pricing for a Test Panel based on the Turnaround Time.
  • You can now create Customer-specific rush turnaround pricing.
  • You can now configure quantity discounts that automatically get added as Invoice Line Items. For example, you can configure a 10% discount once an Order has 5 or more of the same Assay. An Order with 6 of these Assays will have the discount, but an Order with 3 of these Assays will not. The types of configurable quantity discounts include:
    ◦ Assay
    ◦ Panel-Assay (overrides the Assay discount)
    ◦ Customer-Assay (overrides the Assay and Panel-Assay discount)
    ◦ Customer-Panel (overrides the Panel discount)

A special treat for those of you that read all the way here: They call us DJ Enzyme because we're always breaking it down.
