Hi All,

Now might be a good time to consider what is wanted in 1.5 now that 1.4 is up and running. In the last while a lot of requests have been raised but have gone no-where due to a lack of interested critical mass.
Below I will list a few that I would like to see getting up and running again some of which I have contibuted to (would it be possible to see what we have contributed to when we log into the openVPMS site so I don't have to keep asking Matt???)
- Email and SMS functionality so that a click on the email address or mobile phone gives you the option to send messages
- Adding in a formattable Copy/Ctrl-C to the appointment scheduler which I did not notice was not included in lead up to 1.4– it would be useful to able to copy multiple appointments across days or weeks for blocking out times or multiple cartrophen appointments etc. As we use the scheduler for consult rooms not vets this way of schedule blocker would worl better for us than the 'calendar per vet' method
- Finalise decisions re saving histories when accessed by multiple users
- Patient / Client search available using ID numbers and ALL contacts including mobile.
- All client contacts visible on summary screen LHS
- Alerts and Reminders visible during consulting process
- Information balloons on appointments always visble no matter where on the screen they are so you do not have to scoll down/up or sideways to see them
- Locked history/note top bar so the navigation buttons remain always useable with scrolling back to the top
- History text filters for searching long histories
- Appointment search by client/patient/reason
- Ability to choose default logon screen – currently comes to customers. I would find it good for each persons messaging to come up as the first session login screen and maybe thereafter to a more used one such as customer or worklist.
- ESCI completion and funding by all interested + pressure on your suppliers as this is a high cost but useful addition

The above are the ones that I can think of for now but might get the ball rolling and get some interest back into some of the topics. Some of the comments regarding topics have become quite protracted and hence I suspect people have lost interest or become confused as to where the topic is heading amongst the chat and IT jargon??

As OpenVPMS is still fairly young it is sometimes difficult to get the funding pledges needed so if you really want something done it pays to keep everyoone energised and interested.

Sorry for my rambling

Cheers,

Nick
