Power of OpenVPMS & Bpay

Hi everyone,
Just thought I'd drop a story about what we have managed to get working at our clinic.
By learning some scripting and tinkering for some time we have managed to get our incoming bpay notifications from our bank to stream straight into an open VPMS tasklist.
Every day a scheduled set of scripts will check for the encrypted files, decrypt them, link them to customers and then create Tasks in a dedicated Worklist.

Navigating through products

When editing products it is quite tiresome having saved one to have to go back and select again in the multi page product list. Would others find it easier to have either forward / back arrows to keep going through the list or at least after saving to be able to click back to where you were last time you searched in the list.
Maybe I have not found an easier way of doing it. Any suggestions or is this on developers list already.

History Filter

When you add history notes you can also choose from the drop down lists to add weight, problem, medications etc. To save scrolling through long histories looking for previous blood tests, medications etc would it be possible to filter the history by these same headings. It would make things much easier.

Double consult error

Twice today we have had 2 screens open to enable seeing one clients 2 pets' histories simultaneously. In editing the notes for the consult in either one it failed to save and produced the 'may be in use by another user' error.

Is it not possible to use 2 screens in one visit? We were not invoicing on 2 screens just editing history notes.

Consult Add/Delete Error

Has anybody else seen this problem - After adding items to a consult and then deleting one or more it refused to save and a red error box comes up ( I'll copy it next time). The solution so far has either been cancelling and re-consulting or sometimes deleting one or more items then adding them again.

It pays to watch your staff or Super-Fast-Typing behaviour

I watch a receptionist the other day furiously belt out a series of key strokes. Collecting the small pieces of broken black keyboard plastic I enquired as to why she must strike with such vigour so suddenly.

She answered that in order to get the drop down box (eg.species) to accept more then one letter she must type very fast. She said she could get two letters in most times. I had thought it only ever accepted one letter. It got me thinking that the drop down boxes have a keystroke timer applied to them.

Is that true and if so can it be extended?

Reprinting Reminders in V1.2 Beta2

Morning All,

We are having a problem reprinting reminders in OpenVPMS V1.2 Beta2. When you click on REPRINT you receive the following message:

"An application error has occurred. Your session has been reset."

You are then returned the first screen you get when you log in. We can generate and print reminders successfully and can also test print an individual reminder. This error occurs consistently each time we try to reprint. Printer is definitely online, has paper etc and is able to successfully receive other print jobs from OpenVPMS.

How to reset an account

Hello,

I 've made some "tests" with a acccount of a customer. Now, I'd like to remove all the datas I've put inside and to start "from scratch".
Is it possible ?

Thanks.

Daniel.

new graphical demonstration

Just checked out the new graphical scheduler - very nice, i like the automatic blocking off of multiple appointment times alot!
I was wondering though, at my clinic we do tend to have clients that prefer particular vets. With the graphical scheduler any notes that are written re the appt, which for us includes the preferred vet to see do not appear as eye catching, rather as something that needs to be moused over. This is fine for notes and such, but will it be possible to have the preferred vet initials to show up without needing that mousing over?

Thanks :-)
