This release covers all changes since 2.0.72. The diary opens faster, practice managers get a new Clinician Utilisation report, and How do I…? can now take you straight to a screen.
New Features
A faster diary
The diary now loads much faster, especially in busy practices with many clinicians. Opening the Practice Diary and moving from day to day takes noticeably less time, and signing in is quicker too.
When you close a diary and open it again, it comes back on the same date and at the same place in the day, instead of jumping to another date or back to the morning.
When you go to an appointment from a patient’s record, a treatment plan or the Practice week, the day diary now outlines that appointment in red, so you can see at once which one it is.
Clinician Utilisation
Reports › Utilisation › Clinician Utilisation shows each clinician’s available, booked and blocked hours and how much of their time is used, for a week, a month or three months. A chart shows booked against available time day by day, and a heat map shows the busiest days and hours. Clinicians who have left are marked Left.
Use the Excel icon in the toolbar to download the figures as a spreadsheet. The report is available to staff who have Housekeeping. The older Clinician Usage chart has been replaced by this report; Clinician Usage (table) is still available.
How do I…? can take you to a screen
Ask How do I…? where something is, for example “where is outstanding accounts” or “open recalls due”. It now shows the screen with its place in the menu (for example Reports › Outstanding Accounts) and a Go there button that opens it for you. You only see screens you have permission to open.
ChiralAcademy
ChiralAcademy pages now look and work like the rest of Chiral Cloud: the same tables, icons, buttons and date picker. In Team Progress, use the Excel icon in the toolbar to download a spreadsheet, and a person’s training record downloads as a PDF from the download icon.
Resolved Issues
- Appointment History on the patient record: the right-click menu only appeared on the second right-click. It now opens on the first, for the appointment you clicked. The same was fixed in Payment Plan History and Issue Instalment Invoices.
- Users: when a new user or a user’s details could not be saved, for example because of a name that is not allowed, there was no message and it could look as if it had saved. A message now says why, and the details stay open so you can correct them.
- Security improvements.
