New Functionality
New Trading Standards Product Safety Types
A new trading standards product safety maintenance screen has been created to support the TS inspections. This feeds a new drop down box available on the TS visits screen (EH0328FRM). Menu option Public Protection > Maintenance> Commercials > Trading Standards > Product Safety Types.
Trading Standards Product Safety Types for Commercials
You can select/add the product safety types for the commercial record that apply for that business. Any selected types listed here will be available on the visit/inspection tabbed screen to be selected/added for the action.
New Trading Standards Visit Tabbed Screen
As with all inspection screens, this runs from adding an action and should be configured against an appropriate action. Select ‘TS Visit’ from the list available in the ‘Next Screen’ field of action maintenance. There are 6 individual tab screens for this type of action. Any or all can be completed for each visit/inspection.
Search Accident
A new search screen has been added for Accidents, which allows multiple search criteria across the accident and the injured persons. The individual records can be selected from this screen, or the search results can be displayed as a list view.
Search Samples
A new search screen has been added for Samples, which allows multiple search criteria across the sample. The individual records can be selected from this screen, or the search results can be displayed as a list view.
Search Notices
A new search screen has been added for Notices, which allows multiple search criteria across the notice. The individual records can be selected from this screen, or the search results can be displayed as a list view.
Search Prosecutions
A new search screen has been added for Prosecutions, which allows multiple search criteria across the prosecution The individual records can be selected from this screen, or the search results can be displayed as a list view.
Report to List Letters produced between Dates
There is a new report to list all letters that have been produced via the system between selected date, for a selected, or all, template types.
Pest Invoices between dates
The ‘Date Paid’ field has been added to this report.
New Merge fields for the logged in user
The logged in user can now be added to any template by using the 10 new merge fields that begin with ‘USR_’.
Non-Targeted Work
Non-Targeted Work, previously abbreviated by the letters ‘NFA’ (formerly meaning Need for Action) now have the abbreviation of ‘NTW’ to avoid any confusion with the possible meaning of ‘No Further Action’.
Security for Fields
Subject to permissions, you can now add or remove security to fields by right clicking them. Previously this function only returned the merge field name, however you can now select one or multiple groups to change the permissions of the selected field by ticking the groups you want to apply the new settings to, and then clicking the appropriate button.
You can also create field level user defined help for the field.
You can also create a new merge field if one doesn’t exist already.
You can set a field as mandatory.
Constants
Like merge fields, you can now insert ‘constants’ into templates. A constant is a word or phrase or sentence or paragraph that remains the same regardless of the record it is being used with.
e.g. ‘The Food Safety Act 1990’
This could then be inserted into a template, exactly like a merge field, to substitute data at the time of production. In the example, if the legislation changed, instead of updating it in many templates, you would only need to update it the merge field maintenance screen to then ripple through every document the merge field was used in.
To create a constant, create a new merge field name (try to be consistent, it makes life easier!) and tick the ‘constant’ flag, then add the details of the text you want to display.
Un-finalise
Letters that have been set as ‘final’, and that are therefore un-editable, can now have the ‘final’ flag removed if you have permission to the security setting ‘UNFINALISE’
Export Templates
There is a new maintenance option to dump out all templates to a specified drive.
Date Calculations
Every date field in the system can calculate a date from today by using any of the following codes:
T – will set the field as today’s date
NW – will set the field as today’s date + 7 days
PW– will set the field as today’s date - 7 days
NMO – will set the date as the next Monday’s date
NTU – will set the date as the next Tuesday’s date
NWE – will set the date as the next Wednesday’s date
NTH – will set the date as the next Thursday’s date
NFR – will set the date as the next Friday’s date
NSA – will set the date as the next Saturday’s date
NSU – will set the date as the next Sunday’s date
Px – will set the date as the number of days prior to today. E.g. P4 will take off 4 days
Nx – will set the date as the number of days after today. E.g. N4 will add 4 days on
Rogue Landlords
There is a new ‘extra details’ screen for requests for service categories that will allow storage of data relating to rogue landlord reports.

Workflow Types
Where the workflow type is RFS, the list of workflow actions for types is not listed by default when the screen loads to speed up the time to load the screen.
To list options now, you should use the search field and the filter button. If you want to fetch a list of all types, then you should type and asterisk in the search field and then click the filter button.
RFS Main Details Screen
Two new buttons have been added to the main details screen to allow any typed in requestor details to be quickly copied to the ‘Client’ list or be added to the case contacts screen.
