June 16 Enhancements: Vendor Product Listing Screen

On a Vendor Product Listing screen for an interface-enabled vendor, the following updates have been made:

The Order Guide Only check box is now only selected by default if both a product catalog and order guide have been imported. (Internal reference: MS3-8390)
A Product Attributes filter has been added that allows you to select one one or more product attributes specific to the vendor (e.g., Gluten Free, Vegan, etc.). (Internal reference: MS3-4177)

June 16 Enhancement: Sorting Items via an Inventory Worksheet

When working on an inventory worksheet you can now sort items in their existing storage location so that the inventory list matches the physical order of items on their shelves. See Sorting Items in Their Storage Location via Inventory Worksheet.

Only when the inventory worksheet is closed will item sort order be applied to your inventory list that is viewed on the Inventory On Hand screen.

June 16 Enhancement: Location Column on Inventory Worksheet

A Location column has been added to an inventory worksheet. The Location column displays the storage location of a product.

If the sort option for the inventory worksheet is set by location (via the Display Options), the Location column features a filter that, when clicked, displays the current storage locations and the number of items in each location. Selecting a storage location from the filter only displays items of that storage location.

June 2 Enhancement - AI Recipe Photo Generation

Generate Recipe Photos with AI Assistance via ANDI

Menu Photo Gallery

Each menu consists of a photo gallery that contains the current photos selected for the items (i.e., recipes) in the menu, and identifies items currently without a photo. From the photo gallery you can review the existing photos and generate new AI photos as needed, or manually upload digital photos if desired. See Menu Photo Gallery for more information and instructions.

June 2 Enhancement - Review Personal Menu Customizations

If a resident/patient is set up with personal menu customizations, and you subsequently change their diet order, and that new diet order had been previously assigned before with customizations, then the customizations of that previously-assigned diet order are restored, and the new Review Personal Menu Customization window appears to inform you of such (screenshot below).

From this window you are informed to review these restored customizations to ensure they still apply. The window also gives you the opportunity to copy personal menu customizations from other former diet orders to the currently-assigned diet order. For more information and instructions see What Happens When you Change Diet Order of Person with Personal Menu Customizations?
