• Changed extra label function to use test setup definitions. Labels print with defined character to signify extra label and not part of main episode tests selected.
  

• Fixed error with External number setup saved with text file based number sequences
• Added ability to change extra label prefix character

• Extra label supports operator ID and time stamping.
  Special prefix character prints before the time stamp field to signify the time stamp of extra label, not original processing time of the episode. Character can be customised to accommodate font specific restrictions.
• Resolved test codes not printing on single label width stock when using the extra label function

• Multiple selections to format Date and Time are displayed on labels.
• Numbering sequence can now be stored in the Empress database or as a text file.
  Resolves issues seen where Windows operating system had disc caching problem and text number file update may be cached and not written to hard disc before another workstation opened and updated number file resulting in duplicate number.
  Requires new long integer field in database table IncidentNumberRange named NextAvailable. If database field is not present, option to use database is unavailable for selection.
• Printing functions update (Extra Label, Batch Print, Free Batch Print) prints the selected test codes from the screen onto the barcode labels.
  No test grouping is applied, all tests will be printed on the labels generated
• Request and specimen labels have more optional database fields to use on either label.
  Includes processing time stamp, operator code, reception site ID and description
• Improved status bar descriptions indicating real time program activity.
  Useful to diagnose connectivity issues and processing status
• If a duplicate entry is found in database when episode is created, option given to operator to overwrite or cancel. Previously had no other option but to overwrite. If overwrite is selected, event is recorded in event log.
• Event log increased from maximum of 120 entries to 1500.
• Monarch printer routines better optimised for COM communication.
• Excluded number entry now permits multiple entries to be selected for deletion, previously entries must be deleted one at a time.
• Excluded number function improved.
  Previous versions of Empress could issue an excluded number under certain situations.
