• Added server-side lockedOut status info to local license so that if a license is disabled on the server it will not be usable, even if the client is offline.

• Added code to attempt to ensure that the dialog telling a user that software updates are available will always show up on top.

• If a user is Locked Out via the website, an email will be sent to support to notify them.
  

April 10, 2008¶

• BUGFIX Fixed a problem that would prevent MCP from downloading/installing application updates.
  

April 9, 2008¶

• Added code to prevent users from deleting "Demo Studies" studies.

April 8, 2008¶

• Filenames are no longer remembered when the "Save As..." function is used.
• Added code to let MCP know that the system has been idle for 15 minutes or more. MCP will disable all automated online activity if the system is idle.
• BUGFIX Studies with the same unique identifiers (PatientName, StudyDate, StudyInstanceUID) will be merged if they are sent from the same Site. Previously, they would only be merged if they were sent from the same Client.
• Changed minor version number from 0 to 1 in preparation for commercial launch.
  

• BUGFIX If not Person record is found when logging in to Live, the system assumes that the MSA has been signed instead of throwing an error. This specifically fixes problems with the demo users.
• Changed minor version number from 0 to 1 in preparation for commercial launch.
  

March 18, 2008¶

• Added ability for user to delete studies from Syntermed Live. User will be prompted for a reason which is stored in the database. NOTE: nothing is deleted from the Syntermed Live system, it is just hidden from the user. In a later version we will be able to allow the user to "undo" this action. NOTE: Users can only delete studies that have been sent by a Site they are directly a member of.
• Added a "Support Contract" information link in MCP to let the user how much time the Site has left on their contract.
• Add logic to prevent MCP from trying to download updated software versions if the Site is not within a valid Support Contract.
• Added logic to allow MCP to run in offline mode even if a "required" update of MCP is available.
• Added ability to download/install ENDG from Syntermed Live.
• BUGFIX A null value could be inserted in the historical transfer log which would throw an error when launched.
• BUGFIX Audit Log viewer would not correctly page through items.
  

• Added ability for user to delete studies. At this time the user will not be prompted for a reason. NOTE: nothing is deleted from the Syntermed Live system, it is just hidden from the user. In a later version we will be able to allow the user to "undo" this action. NOTE: Users can only delete studies that have been sent by a Site they are directly a member of.
• Added ability to specify a "Maintenance Expiration Date" for each Site. This will be how MCP knows when their support contract has expired.
• Added ability to manually enter an expiration date for a License.
• Updated the admin "Calendar" to reflect upcoming license and support contract expirations so we can contact customers before it happens.
• Added ability to manage ENDG releases through Syntermed Live.
• Added an "Advanced" User/Site/License management page that will give us very fine control to make security changes with having to directly access the databases. This page is not well tested and will seldom be used.
• Added a "Note" filed for each Site that will allow us to store any pertinent information about the Site.
• Added ability to assign a Site a "Parent" for billing purposes. This will allow us to better understand who we need to contact regarding invoices, etc...
  

February 21, 2008¶

• BUGFIX Changed the way that MCP exports patient information into XML so that NRP can pre-populate patient demographics.
• BUGFIX If "Show Files" is selected from the View menu and the user switches to the Syntermed Live tab, the items becomes disabled, but remains checked.
• Added a "Terms of Use" form that the user must agree to before any online activity can be attempted.
  

• Modified the format of the website. It is now a "Web Application" which runs everything compiled. This should improve security, speed, reliability and it allows for accurate version and build information to be revealed.
• Changed machine.config to force running the web application in a non-debug environment.
• Created a separate Application Pool for the web application.
• Added the new version and build information to the footer of each page.
• Added a banner to all pages to clearly specify that the user is using the BETA version of the web application rather then the production version.
• BUGFIX If no activity was detected on the website for 20+ minutes, the next action would cause a "Session Expired" page to appear without any visual styling.
• Added record paging to the AuditLog page.
• Added a "Terms of Use" page that the user must agree to before any online activity can be attempted. The "Terms of Use" needs only to be agreed to on one of its two locations (Web and MCP).
  

February 19, 2008¶

• BUGFIX In the case where a file was launched in MCP from the Files list, then the File list was hidden (View -> Show Files) and the Launch button was clicked to launch a study, the previously selected file could be launched.
• Added an option in Configuration -> Live called "Allow user to send raw data to Syntermed Live". This option must be checked or else MCP will prevent the user from sending anything but review files to Syntermed Live. The default value is to prevent a user from sending raw data to Syntermed Live.
• BUGFIX When using the "patient filtering" functionality, the filter would allow non-standard characters.
• Added the ability for a user to select a study in the Study list and hit the Enter key to launch the study.
• BUGFIX When trying to archive a files, MCP ignores any files that already exist in the archive.xml file. The behavior has been changed such that the file in the archive gets overwritten if it exists.
• BUGFIX When sending a study to Syntermed Live that already existed in another Site, MCP would assume the study already existed, would not upload the file, but would not generate any error message. Now identical studies can exist in multiple Sites, but there is still a bug regarding retrieval of identical studies in MCP.
  

• BUGFIX Users without administrative permissions to the Syntermed Live website were denied access from updating their personal information via the "My Account -> Update Info" link.
• BUGFIX The "RecoverPassword" page was unable to send email through the GMAIL (Apps for Domains) SMTP interface.
• Added logic to make all users a member of the "Demo Cases" security group when they are created, therefore gicing them online (and MCP) access to our examples patients.
• Moved Copyright/Footer code into a unified Helper method. Also, includes application version number and statement about alpha/beta status if it is not a release version.
  

January 25, 2008¶

• BUGFIX Changed the way in which the SecureCode is generated. It is no longer using the network card at all. It also does not use the CPU_ID because that was very slow. It now uses a combination of the Motherboard_ID and the BIOS_ID. There are things that are unique to every machine and have a very low likelihood of changing (unlike the network card). In my initial testing, the speed to generate this code has been reduced significantly, but in the future we may want to investigate another method for ECToolbox to verify that it is licensed.
• Added ability for MCP to automatically send an ECTb Review File to Syntermed Live. This behavior will only occur if MCP is running and the ECTb Review File is added to the directory of the first local tab.
• Added a lot of new features to the "File Transfer Manager" that is built in to MCP. It now keeps a historical log of all of the successful transfers to and from Syntermed Live. It also shows all actions, SEND and RECEIVE, in a single list for simplicity.
• Added a new option in Configuration -> Live called "Automatically delete local Syntermed Live studies when MCP exits" which will clear out the Syntermed Live cache of data when the user closes MCP. This was implemented for added HIPAA security.
• Enabled ability for MCP to be disabled if the license has expired on the server, not just the client.
  

• Added the ability to disable a single license rather then the entire site. This way we can be sure that there are no unaccounted for licenses roaming around in the world. NOTE: For now, this feature does not physically delete the license from the client machine when it detects that it has been disabled, therefore, if the machine is disconnected from the Internet, it would be able to run ECToolbox locally. We need to make a company wide decision as to whether or not I should delete the physical license.
