DQB Release 1.39 Here is the list for the July release, which is also posted on our website. Merge DQB Starter into Standard Version To provide for greater cohesion between the more limited starter version of DQB and the standard, we have merged the starter code into the standard. During a trial or demo, the user will be able to choose either one or both. Once licensed, the license code will control which version is shown. The more traditional menu will continue to be used for the home page of starter. With this merger, the starter version will gain more capability such as being able to access QuickBooks .invoices for printing and viewing invoice history within DQB. New Option for Backup Alert In the Options/Company Information/Backup tab, there is a new indicator you can check to have an alert displayed when DQB is launched by the administrator if a data backup has not been performed since the number of specified days. The default number of days is 2, but you may specify another number. The alert window will provide a convenient link to the backup screen.
Invoice Date/Time Displayed in Case Activity
In the center activities section of the Case Entry screen, once the Case Invoiced line appears, the date and time the invoice was created will also be displayed. Mark Completions by Work Center
Primarily designed to speed marking items being returned to lab from an outsource point but also useable for in-house cases, this is a new option similar to QC & Ship for marking case item completions by work center and scheduling/rescheduling remaining items. At the top, the user can specify criteria for case items by selection of a work center and range of scheduled dates. The initial scheduled dates will be the current date, but the user can override these from the calendars. Matching case items will be shown in a grid with columns: Case # Customer Patient Item Qty Scheduled Date To the right will be checkboxes for Completed and Continue Schedule. The user can check which case items have been completed. Upon click to Update Selected Items, all case items checked will be marked completed with the current date and time. If Continue Schedule is also checked for a case item, the remaining case items in the case will be scheduled or rescheduled forward from the last completion date to continue the case. When items are completed early, this will serve to tighten the schedule and keep the work flowing.
Company Information Requirement Since the license code validation requires that the company name be the same as when licensed, this information must continue to be present. If a user accidentally wipes out the company name in Options/Company Information, the program will issue an alert and require entry. Standard Procedure Controls We have updated the standard procedure controls to help prevent user errors and add to the ease of use. The format of the entry screen has also been changed to include a left frame with the list of existing standard procedures but the basic functionality remains the same. Option to Exclude Inactives from Customer Profiles When you request the report for all Customer Profiles, you can set an option to exclude the customers now marked as inactive. On behalf of the DentaLab Users Group, we send a big hearty thank you to all of you who submitted suggestions!
