Improved
-
Sorting preferences are now retained
Previously, sorting on a column in the Start view was lost after opening and closing a study, except for Study Details and Status. Sorting is now remembered for all sortable components on Start. -
Improved audit trail details for review advice
When adding advice in the Reviews component, the audit trail previously only displayed a generic message such as “Advice added: text”, without indicating which review the advice belonged to. The audit trail now includes the review identifier, e.g. “Review number: 0000, Advice added: text”.
Additionally, if the Number field has been customized and renamed, the audit trail will now use the custom field name instead of the default “Number,” ensuring consistency with the configured terminology. -
Button labels and messages updated for clarity when adding or editing rows
When adding rows in ERMS/CTMS components, the pop-up previously showed ‘Save and close’ or ‘Save and new’. These have now been renamed to ‘Add and close’ and ‘Add and new’ to make it clearer that rows are only added to the component and that the main page still needs to be saved afterwards. This helps remind users to complete the save process and avoid losing changes.
The same adjustment has been applied to the ‘Edit’ pop-up, where buttons now read ‘Edit’ and ‘Edit and close’ instead of ‘Save’ and ‘Save and close’.Additionally, success messages have been updated for consistency. After adding or editing an item, the message now reads ‘Item has been added’, replacing the previous ‘Item has been saved’ wording.
-
Incoming transfers now ordered by date and time
Previously, incoming transfers for the CTMS/ERMS link were sorted only by date, causing multiple transfers sent on the same day to appear in the wrong order. Transfers are now sorted by both date and time, ensuring the most recently sent study is always shown at the top of the list.
Bug fixes:
Previously, the Recipient field on the mail log page was case-sensitive in EDC, CTMS, and ERMS, which could cause inconsistencies when filtering or searching for email addresses. The field is now case-insensitive, ensuring all matches are found regardless of letter casing.
