eRAM Release 2.1.17
08/13/2013

The following changes will be included in the 2.1.17 release:

PI/Lab Personnel

Principal Investigators and Authorized Signers now have the ability to submit Animal Use Forms (and submit changes to Animal Use Forms) directly from the end of the applicable form.  The Submit Form activity is still available in the Animal Use Form Workspace, as well.

Submit Form button displays at bottom of animal use form.

A link to the recently approved UM Rodent Breeding Policy has been added to the top of the Procedure Details - Breeding page of the protocol.

An error causing the Cancel and Close activities to not be recorded on the Recent Activity list in the Protocol Workspace has been fixed.

Shortcodes

Shortcode data stored in M-Pathways Financials will now feed to eRAM in real-time.  This means that whenever shortcode information is modified in M-Pathways, the changes will immediately be reflected in eRAM.

When adding or updating shortcodes, data obtained from M-Pathways Financials (PGN, PGN PI, PGN SAPOC, etc.) will now display with the corresponding shortcode if the data is available.
Users can no longer manually enter a shortcode when adding a new shortcode in eRAM. The user must now select the shortcode from a list of available shortcodes. For more details, see the Manage Shortcodes step by step procedure.
