Dear reader,
The ERMS of ResearchManager will be updated to version 6.12. Below, you can find information about the added functionalities and improvements. We are happy to answer any questions you may have about the update. Please email your inquiries to support@myresearchmanager.com.
In short
In this version, among other updates:
- You can now immediately download the PDF version of the file when viewing documents by clicking on a button.
- Bugs, nobody wants them, so we have fixed as many as possible.
Read from this point onward for details on all the updates and their explanations.
New
- Direct downloading of PDF files
In the previous release, a PDF viewer was introduced. When a PDF file is added, it can be viewed directly in the viewer by clicking the PDF button, and then the file could be downloaded from the viewer. However, it may also be the case that you want to download the file directly without first viewing it in the viewer. That's why we now have both a viewer button and a download button for PDF files: you can choose what you prefer!
Improved
- Improved validation on the user edit screen
Under management -> users and roles, it's possible to create and edit users. When editing a user, it was occasionally unclear if all information was entered correctly because the notification that something went wrong was displayed at the bottom of the window. We've added new validation, using red highlights to quickly and clearly indicate what is incomplete. Additionally, the screen has been slightly enlarged.
- Scrolling in the PDF viewer
When viewing files, we've expanded the PDF viewer and added the feature that it's now possible to scroll through the file.
Bug fixes
-
Digital signatures available in the PDF viewer
In the previous version, not all electronic signatures were displayed in the PDF viewer that were visible when the PDF document was downloaded. We have resolved this issue; all electronic signatures are now visible in the PDF viewer.
- First option not automatically selected for single-answer field in assessment field
When a review line was added to an review component with a single-answer component, the first option of the single answer was automatically chosen. We have now fixed this; the field remains empty until something is filled in.
- Automatic transition when leaving study type blank
When the study type was left blank, automatic transitions were not executed, even though the field was optional. This meant that the transition was only executed if one or more study types were defined. This is no longer the case; it is now possible to leave the study type blank. This ensures that the transition is executed for all study types.
