Release Notes

Vet Fecal tests will not be archived if there is a parasitology request associated with them.

Added Exemplars for AI Urine Sediment Epithelial Cell Clusters

The exemplars for the AI Urine Sediment for the Epithelial Cell Cluster have been added. Now, by clicking "e" on a keyboard while hovering over this cell, users can view the exemplars of this class.

Improved Comment Placement for Test Types

Comments are now repositioned above the images for test types, including:

• AI Blood Smear
• AI Urine Sediment
• AI Dermatology
• AI Fecal - Ova/Oocysts
• Cytology

This adjustment enhances readability and ensures that comments are conveniently located for quick reference during analysis.

Updated Guidance: How to Stain a Slide Video

The video on staining slides when submitting an AI Urine Sediment test via the Add-On Expert Review has been added to the Grundium Scan Dialog.

Mitigation/Resolution
The video is going to be played in a video player used in Guide Drawer.

Clinic User Test Submission Options Update

Clinic users can select between "Zoetis Virtual Lab - Next Day" or "Zoetis Virtual Lab - Priority" when submitting a test. Next Day tests have a 24-hour turnaround time, and Priority tests have a 2-hour turnaround time.

Improved Test Cancellation Functionality - Clinic User

The user experience for clinic users is enhanced by enabling the users to cancel Cytology or Add-On Expert Review tests immediately upon creation, eliminating the need to input a character to prompt the cancellation button.

Enhanced Guides for Vet Fecal and Urine

There is now clear differentiation between Vet Fecal and Vet Urine printed coverslips and printed slides:

Updated guides now provide distinct guidance for each test type.

The previous Urine help card has been replaced with a new gif and text detailing what to look for in the printed slide.

Additionally, Vet Fecal and Vet Equine Fecal Egg Count now feature an extra help card demonstrating correct coverslip application.

Species Input Experience and UX Improvements

The Add Test dialog and Test Order Entry page have been updated to include:

• Users can now directly input species in the Add Test dialog or Test Order page, replacing the "other" field.
• Newly entered species, like "camel," will be remembered for future use, with an option to remove them.
• In the Test Order page, if a new species is entered, the breed field will prompt only for breed input, avoiding "no breed found" messages.

Additionally, the Age, Sex, and Submit Test fields have been updated for consistent visuals and the wording updated for improved user understanding.

End-User Impact
The users no longer see the "Other", they can easily write in the species or breed as is.

Unit Update: mg/dL changed to g/dL

We've made a unit adjustment, switching from mg/dL to g/dL of Total Protein (Analyzer, g/dL) for Vet Cytology test orders when the users add the fluids. The change is visible for the following sources:

• Joint Fluid
• Pericardial Effusion
• Peritoneal Effusion
• Pleural Effusion
• Peripheral Blood Smear

The CSF remains to have the mg/dL.

Mitigation/Resolution
The change is reflected in the textfields, the patient information for a Vet Pathologist, and in the Report Viewer and PDF Report.

Greek Language Support

The addition of the Greek language to Vetscan Imagyst has been implemented. Users can now select Greek on the “My Profile” page, ensuring all content is localized accordingly.

New Error Alert: Slide Flipped Detection for Urine Analysis

Improved Translations: Clinical History Converted to Lower Case

When a test is received in Zoetis Virtual Lab, the Clinical History is converted to lowercase before being translated. This helps to improve the accuracy of translation with DeepL. The Breed and Species are translated with the first letter capitalized. The translations are presented in standard text format, ensuring a more consistent and readable output.

This change is only made in the text sent to the translator; the original text remains unchanged.

Improved Scan Area Control on Tablet

A user can now manipulate the scan area directly in the Grundium Scan Dialog, offering increased flexibility in defining specific scanning regions on a tablet.

The users can now create a new scan area box on a tablet and better control the anchors and area manipulation.

New Species Option: Equine in Vet Cytology

We've added "Equine" as a selectable option when creating a Cytology test. Now, in the Species dropdown and other relevant displays, users can choose "Equine" to enhance the specificity of their tests.

Mitigation/Resolution:
Other places where the change will be displayed:

1. Add Test
2. Test Order Entry Page
3. Slide View
4. Objects View
5. Report Viewer
6. PDF Report
7. Search
8. Shared User and Guest Link

End-User Impact
The new dropdown option "Equine" upon creation of the Vet Cytology test will be new to all users who have the "Vet Cytology" feature switch enabled.

Introducing In-context Help

In our latest update, we've implemented In-Context Help to enhance the user experience during test creation. Now, users will be presented with a Guide Drawer offering valuable resources such as tips, common mistakes, sample preparation steps, downloadable instructions, and platform-specific instructional videos. This feature is designed to provide users with immediate assistance, ensuring a smoother and more informed test creation process.

The help content is available for:

• Fecal Giardia

• Fecal Ova/Oocysts

• Urine Sediment

• Dermatology

• Cytology

• Blood Smear

Mitigation/Resolution:
The Guide Drawer is accessible via the Grundium Scan Dialog:

The Guide Drawer can be opened automatically each time upon user creation or set to only appear when triggered by a user.

The Guide Drawer can also be accessible from tablet devices.

End-User Impact

Grundium Scanner Update Notification Banner

For users of Grundium scanners, there is now a notification banner to inform users when their Grundium scanner is undergoing an update.

Mitigation/Resolution:

• The banner is displayed only to the company initiating the firmware update, even if the scanner is associated with multiple companies.

• The banner may have a latency of up to 10 seconds when initially displaying information.

• After a page refresh, the banner reappears with a 2-3 seconds latency if it was previously present.

End-User Impact
The banner is now displayed to all companies that have a Grundium scanner while undergoing an update.

Revamped Message Alert Colors for Clear Communication

In our latest update, we've revamped the alert message colors to enhance communication. Currently, in the platform, there are three distinct types of alert messages with these updated colors:

1. Informational - Dark Gray: Provides useful information for the user, like login details or offline status.

2. Action Confirmation - Dark Gray: Confirms successful actions, such as updated settings or submitted requests.

3. Action Failure Notification - Red: Indicates failure for actions like unsuccessful request submissions or image-saving issues.

This color update ensures a visually intuitive experience, distinguishing between success and failure.

End-User Impact
All users who have had the green alert messages will now have dark gray messages instead.

Upcoming Auth0 Changes with Improved UI

Enhanced Auth0 changes, featuring an improved UI, will be available in January - March.

End-User Impact
The frontend changes will be visible to the customers who have the backend feature switch for Auth0 enabled.

Translation Services Control for Vet Pathologists

Vet Pathologists can now toggle DeepL translation services on and off. When a user turns on this feature, they can utilize the full functionality, including previewing the translation of the Report Builder fields. When turned off, they do not have access to translation services.

End-User Impact

The users will see a new toggle that will impact the translation if it was previously triggered.

Informative Icon for Class in Image View

If configured to do so, the Image View will display up to a specific number of objects. Additionally, the class header now features an information icon. Hovering over the icon with your mouse reveals the following detail: "The count of objects per field of view was low enough to justify [a particular grade]. These images represent a subset of the objects that were found."

Mitigation/Resolution:
This information is configured in a ruleset, allowing control over the number of displayed images. If set to 0, the header, icon, and images are not visible.

Whether the “Show all” images appears is also configurable, and if it appears, it can still be used to see all uploaded images.

End-User Impact
The users in some cases can now see an information icon next to a header of a class in the Image View.

Informative Asterisk for Maximum Uploads in Sidebar

Users will now notice a small asterisk in the Sidebar next to object type counts when the number of uploaded objects exceeds the configured maximum. The following text is displayed upon hovering with your mouse: "Indicates the number of objects uploaded."

Mitigation/Resolution:
This asterisk appears when the count reaches the configured maximum upload limit, as set in the ruleset.

End-User Impact
The users can see an asterisk next to some classes in the Zoomer Sidebar.

In our latest update, we've implemented In-context Help to enhance the user experience during test creation. Now, users will be presented with a Guide Drawer offering valuable resources such as tips, common mistakes, sample preparation steps, downloadable instructions, and platform-specific instructional videos. This feature is designed to provide users with immediate assistance, ensuring a smoother and more informed test creation process.

Mitigation/Resolution:
The Guide Drawer is accessible via the Grundium Scan Dialog at the left bottom corner.

The Guide Drawer can be opened automatically each time upon user creation or set to only appear when triggered by a user.

The Guide Drawer contains the content for AI Urine Sediment only; the content is shown only if the AI Urine Sediment feature switch is enabled and the language of a user is set to English.

The Alt+G/Option+G combination is displayed based on the OS used by a user.

End-User Impact
When a customer adds a test and selects a sample type, the Guide Drawer will appear automatically unless a user changes a setting in the Guide Drawer.
