Better EHR Studio 3.7 Release Notes

3.7.0 (2023-07-07)​

With the 3.7 release of Better EHR Studio we added many powerful new features and functionalities that make form-building even easier and faster. We have also improved the performance and usability of the EHR Studio and fixed some bugs. Check out all the details below.

Better EHR Studio 3.7.0 is compatible with Form Renderer version 3.7.0.

Table of Content:​

Content Manager​

Presets in the content manager​

We are introducing presets for your content, so you can effortlessly customize the widgets to your liking and save it as a preset. Next time when you need it you can simply select the preset that suits your needs, and voila your widget is ready for use!


Multiple libraries in the content manager​

The Content Manager offers the flexibility of using multiple libraries, which serve as repositories for specific groups of members. As a member of a library, you gain the ability to upload and modify content, such as widgets, widget presets, forms, templates and AQL views. Moreover, you have the privilege to invite additional members to your library, enabling you to share content exclusively with the users you choose.


Upload and download AQL views from the content manager​

Users that have the necessary permissions can now upload AQL views to the Content manager library so the other members can download them.


Keywords for content in content manager for easier searching and filtering​

The uploader of the content can now add keywords which are either predefined or you can write in your custom ones.

Content keywords

Form Builder​

Widget configurator​

The widget mapping from the property panel was rebuild from the ground up and moved to a new window called the "Widget Configurator". Here you can set your widget, see the changes in real-time, use variables if your configuration needs them and you can also select from some predefined presets for a quick configuration.


Duplicate case and dependency​

In addition to cut, copy and paste you can now also duplicate your dependencies and cases for a faster build of your complex dependencies.


Export form with templates​

You can now export a bundle of your form and the templates, so you do not have to export each individually. But note that you need to import them separately.


Redesigned variables panel​

We redesigned the variables panel and added the ability to quickly duplicate them.


Search generics by aliases​

You can now also search the generic elements by aliases, so you can find them even faster


Removed unwanted buttons and enabled containers in summaries​

We have removed unwanted buttons like page navigation and save composition when creating a summary since those were not needed, and we enabled adding containers and changing field labels and descriptions.

Studio​

Keep user progress when logging out​

Up until now, user lost all the configurations and progress that has been made by them in the EHR Studio, when they logged out. Now all the changes are preserved even when the user log out for even cleaner experience.

Bug Fixes​
