Table of Contents

Due to Microsoft ceasing to support Internet Explorer, the use of MetaField with Internet Explorer will no longer be supported or allowed.

Introduced a numeric keypad for number fields for easier numeric data input on a mobile device
Converted CGM field specification and measurement fields based on enumeration lists in Administration to data entry fields (no longer pick values from a pick list) to expedite field data entry

Option added that allows grids to be filtered and unique columns rendered when selecting a form name, allowing customers the option to tailor the display of columns for each test form and optimize the user experience (DIY forms only)
DIY Test Reports - Added the ability to include all specimens from the same sample and test type on a given report to accommodate situations where labs may be performing the same test on multiple specimens across time.

Option added that allows grids to be filtered and unique columns rendered when selecting a form name, allowing customers the option to tailor the display of columns for each test form and optimize the user experience (DIY forms only)
Batch data input now supported for DIY Test forms in the lab, allowing lab users the option of entering test results in bulk, across projects, for a given lab test
Capability to quickly look up related test values for a given sample now available by selecting a dedicated button at the top of the test result entry screen
Ability to configure a DIY sample form to automatically assign tests and bypass the test assignment process, removing the manual process of test assignment in cases where the test that needs to be run on the sample can be assumed.
DIY Test Reports - Added the ability to include all specimens (from the same sample and test type) on a report automatically, even in cases where the test dates may vary

Material Specifications - Added the ability to associate material specifications to Test forms outside of Form Designer
Removed CGM enumeration lists related to field tests as these values will no longer need to be defined in this format
Added support for additional time zones (eastern Canada and Saskatchewan)
Added support for YYYY-MM-DD date formats
Mix Designs - Added metric-based mix design strength metadata

Ability to define metric-based CGM project specifications introduced (integration with Field components planned for future release)

Added form setting for configuration of columns to display in QC and LIMS when a form is filtered on
Added Test form setting for configuration of columns (fields) that can be entered in batch entry mode
Added Sample form setting to bypass test assignment step in LIMS queue workflow
Added field validation option to ensure numeric data is for a defined multiple (.25, .50, .75, etc.)
Add the ability to enter draft Supplier / Plant / Mix Design values
Added multiple CGM-related data sources: field test standards, fracture types, remarks, capping method, initial / final curing methods, initial moisture environment
Added CGM Specifications setting to Sample forms that will apply core CGM fields / specification fields and integrate the form with specification lookups from Project Specifications (initial development / non functional)
Sample form setting added to control if it is based on Imperial or Metric measurement data (initial development / non-functional)
Added Test form field setting to default CGM break remark code based on Compressive Strength Alert settings in Admin (initial development / non functional)

Added a Multi Record Grid table control to report results from multiple (like) test records belonging to the same sample on one report
Added a Footnote element to summarize data / disclose code descriptions on a report
