MBioLIMS 23.03

2023-11-09

We're delighted to present the latest updates and enhancements to MBioLIMS. This page describes the new features and changes we've made to give you an even better experience. Find out what's in store for you in this version and how it can benefit your use.

General

  • There's something new in the search pages and the working list:

    • it is now possible to view all custom fields applied to an entity on that entity's simple search page (only for sample collection)

    • a new user setting allows to show or hide columns in the results of a search page and in the working list.

  • Time fields can now be easily filled with the current time of day.

  • Removes the MBio News dashlet due to changes made on the Twitter API.

Patient

  • The new Epic on FHIR integration now allows you to create a patient and update his information (surname, first name, date of birth, etc.) using data from an Epic system. Epic on FHIR system versions DSTU2, R4 and STU3 are supported.

Reports

  • We've redesigned how reports work:

    • Report footers have been updated to comply with ISO 20387.

    • The shipping report (Packing Slip) and the Internal Transfer Report have also been updated to comply with ISO 20387.

    • The same report can now be available in different languages; standard reports are all available in English and French for compatible projects. You can add languages to your customized reports on the "Manage report languages" and "Manage report templates" pages.

    • A standard report language can be activated/deactivated in the "Manage report templates" page (the content of new standard reports is not editable; however, you have full control over your custom reports).

    • The "Manage report headers" page enables you to enter information about the biobank that will appear in report headers. With the Multi-Sites module, report headers are now managed dynamically! You no longer need to create a report for each site: you can create a default header and a specific header for each site.

    • When you generate a report, you can choose which header and language the report will use (headers can be chosen from: the default header and the header of sites for which you have access rights; languages can be chosen according to the report settings).

  • Adds views RPR_ECRF_PATIENT_VIEW, RPR_ECRF_PATIENT_INCLUSION_VIEW and RPR_ECRF_VISIT_VIEW to query eCRF forms.

  • Adds column CONTAINER_IDENTIFIER in SQL view RPR_EXPEDITION_SHIPPED_ELEMENTS_VIEW.

  • Removes columns SUPPORT_ID and BARCODE_NAME from SQL view RPR_EXPEDITION_VIEW.
    Adds SQL view RPR_EXPEDITION_SHIPPED_ELEMENTS_VIEW to query shipped elements.

  • Changes the name of the “Manage aliquoting/pooling details” page to “Manage aliquotes in tubes details”.

Storage

  • Buttons in the Storage panel of a tube page are now hidden if you don't have the necessary rights.
