Animana Release Highlights: Version 4.21
This version of Animana contains several bug fixes, security improvements, and behind the scenes enhancements. It also includes the following changes:
New: Never miss an external laboratory charge again!
There’s a lot going on in your practice and we know how easy it is to forget to add the external analysis to the invoice when you’re busy packaging the sample and booking a collection. Missed charges can account for up to 20% of practice revenue. So, we’re pleased to announce that in this version of Animana we’re making missed external laboratory charges – and the related awkward conversations they can cause – a thing of the past!
When enabled, orders placed to the IDEXX Reference Laboratory via IDEXX VetConnect PLUS will also automatically have the product charges added to the patient’s open invoice, which can be emailed, posted, or paid immediately.

Improved: Client Portal Translation improvements
It was a bit of an oversight on our behalf that the client portal login screen was only available in Dutch. We’ve now fixed this, by adding an English translation.
More Livestock Visit Form fields in Client Portal
Further to our ongoing improvements to the Client Portal, we’ve improved the Visit Form section to include the fields ‘History’, ‘Findings’ and ‘Plan’, from the Animana livestock visit form. These three additional fields will show automatically for each herd, if the fields be empty they will show as “N/A”.
Added Application Programming Interface (API) capabilities
The Animana API makes it possible for other programs to interact with each other. We’re continually working on our API to enhance the capabilities to securely exchange data between Animana and other applications, allowing us to work with other partners. In this release, we are adding more data points for external parties to access from Animana.
