New features available in latest release (version 2.7.19)

We have just released TrakGene version 2.7.19, which contains a number of enhancements. We wanted to let you know about the most significant changes in this version.

The Add Family feature on the Find Person screen has been updated so that each user can set their own default folder group and folder to be pre-populated when adding new family. The makes adding new families quicker because users don’t have to keep navigating to the folder of families that they use the most.

The ability to have a default symbol and label set for an individual pedigree has been added. In the pedigrees screen there is now a tick box for “Save label format as default for pedigree” and “Save symbol format as default for pedigree” respectively. Saved default applies for all users who open the pedigree. Changes to the default symbols and labels formats are recorded in the pedigree modification history.

An investigation summary field is now available in Pedigrees for labels and symbols. The field is a concatenation of Test Type and Primary Result fields in the Investigations screen; this operates in same way as the Diagnosis Summary field.

In some screens the “Today” button appears against Date fields to allow one click selection of today’s date to appear in the field. This is another minor change that will make the life of users creating records in TrakGene that bit easier.

There is a new system parameter to set the default appointment length. This means finish time is automatically calculated from start time. The automatic finish time can easily be overwritten with custom finish time if required.

Where updates include a database upgrade, the database upgrade now requires a version specific password. This password is provided separately from other upgrade materials to ensure superusers do not inadvertently upgrade a live database.

We have more developments on our road map and look forward to updating you on new releases as they occur. System administrators can log in to the website and access the latest releases from our downloads area. If you require and support with upgrades then please contact us.
