Animana Release Highlights: Version 7.12

A refreshed client file!

We’re excited to introduce a wholly updated client file that adds lots of new functionality. One of the first things you may notice is that the screen loads slightly differently and may appear slower in some longer client files. However, this speed sacrifice means that the new screen is more stable, and we can add exciting changes, such as the new search functionality, which searches across the whole client file and works in conjunction with the filters.

The new page also brings a modern look and feel and improved accessibility.

Other changes include:

• Filter changes now appear without a time-consuming screen refresh
• Invoice and appointment rows now show the patient’s name and can be used in the new client file search
• Pagination has been added for files with more than 300 rows
• Print actions open in the same browser tab
• Date formats align with your computer settings
• Additional error messages and other bug fixes

Change FAQ

• Why did you change the page?
  • The new page addresses many feature requests and provides a more secure platform for future functionality. With the European Accessibility Act being implemented soon, we’re also keen to make Animana an accessible platform.
• Will you bring functionality in the patient file to this new client file?
  • Bringing patient file features, such as button customisation and date filters, is not planned for the next iteration of the client file. However, the new screen does allow for those changes in future.
• Will you add functionality in the new client file to the patient file?
  • We’d love to add the new design and search functionality to the patient file, and we will look to address this (and other requests) in a later phase.
• Why is the page loading slowly?
  • We appreciate that in some cases, such as large files or on slower computers, the new client file can load slower and cause frustration. As part of our development process, this was tested extensively. Partly, this speed difference is due to how the page is loaded – the new screen cannot be interacted with until it’s fully loaded. We hope that any slowness encountered is offset by the additional functionality, such as search, which would not be possible otherwise.
