Grouped Reminder Template throwing Expression and Property Errors

G'day all

I don't know if this issue is with my xpath statements or with iReports settings.  When I 'Send All' reminders of a type with the grouped reminder template, the report prints fine for owners with 1 pet, but for those with multiple pets I get Expression Error and Invalid Property errrors on some fields only. Using the 'Print' button for one reminder works fine.  The Reminder Due Date field works fine for all cases.

Default Customer Email Contact

Hi,

As a part of our Client Service, all team members are expected to ask and record an email contact address for our clients. Would anyone else agree that it would be beneficial for the default contact types to be standardised to:

Dymo Vet labels

Has anyone got a supplier better than labelcity.com.au for Dymo printer labels for medicines ?

$ 132.00 incl GST

Dymo Veterinary Labels 54X70MM @ 320 Labels/Roll (Compatible) - 6 Pack - D120320VET-6

Medical history templates

Hi,

Is there a template that can be used for the medical history that has entries for something like this?:

Temp:

Skin/Integ:

CVS:

Resp:

etc...

It would make our entries much more standardised and quicker.

Ta,

Trevor

V 1.8 ?

Failed to start OpenOffice service: failed to connect after 10 attempts - Reminder error

Hello all,

    We recently reinstalled openvpms on an Amazon Web Server instance running ubuntu.

 

Whenever some reminders are run, we get the following error:

 

Failed to start OpenOffice service: failed to connect after 10 attempts

 

Not sure why this is.  We can start openoffice from the command line using "soffice".  However, of course it does not display as we have no x-server.

Clinician - Reception communication box required.

Hi

We are needing functionality to allow the vet to add a note at the time of invoice that the receptionist can action but does not appear on the client invoice.  Thoughts had been to include a box adjacent to the current invoice notes box that would remain associated with the invoice (having all the same properties of the current invoice note box) but would not appear on the invoice.

Google Chrome in Windows 8 Metro Mode

Please be aware that if you are using Windows 8 and running Chrome in what is referred to as "Windows 8 Mode" or Metro Mode - shortcuts using the keyboard appear not to work ie Alt - E to edit etc....

This is not a fault with OpenVPMS it is a fault with chrome in that mode - switching chrome back to desktop mode will resolve the issue.

If anyone has seen this differently can you please let me know what version of chrome you are running?

Appointments

Hi  Roger Clarke, Bundoora Veterinary Hospital.

We have a problem with the people who make our appointments in that we can never identify the person who made the appointment when there is a problem with it. This is very annoying. We have a lot of staff and the front desk person does not always answer the phone and make the appointment. If there is a problem then we have great trouble following it up.

Changes to Australia Post and the Potential Influence on Reminders

Given the recent slated changes to Australia Post ie

1. Increased local postage

2. Slower Postage unless you pay for a premium service.

I was wondering if it might not be a good idea to revisit reminder filtering.

What I mean is the possibilities of doing the following

1.  Force reminders to go via a specific method if available or only send reminders to go via a specific method.  ie SMS or Email
