Electronic Supply Chain Interface Project (ESCI)
Posted March 11th, 2010 by tonyHi Everyone, I am please to say the electronic ordering module discussions have progressed significantly to the point where we have been able to complete the interface design work and are ready to start developing the new module. It has even had a name change to reflect the fact that it will eventually deal with a much broader range of interactions with suppliers. It is now called ESCI (Electronic Supply Chain Interface).
Exciting news! The first beta of OpenVPMS version 1.4 is now available.
Posted December 18th, 2009 by Matt YoungThe developers have been hard at work and version 1.4 is now packaged up and available now as a beta release.
There are a ton of bug fixes, new features and improvements. Many of these are features which have been requested, discussed and then funded by the OpenVPMS community. There's too many to list here so have a look at the release notes(http://www.openvpms.org/14-beta-1) for all the details.
The release can be downloaded from http://www.openvpms.org/download
Post an OpenVPMS User Interface enhancement idea bookmarklet
Have you ever been using OpenVPMS and thought "gee, it would be alot better if you didn't have to click...." or "that doesn't make sense it should ask....."? The trouble is once you have moved on you forget about it.
By using the OpenVPMS UI idea bookmarklet you will be able to quickly fire off an email that sends that idea to the OpenVPMS website and then you can carry-on with what you were doing.
What is a bookmarklet?
It is just like a bookmark or favourite. It sits in your bookmarks or favourites folder but rather than being a link it runs a small piece of code. In the case of this bookmarklet it just opens your system's email program and adds an address, subject and some text for you to edit.
How do I install it?
It's easy. If you using Internet Explorer right click on the large text in the box below and select add to favourites. In any other browser all you need to do is drag it to your bookmarks bar.
How do I use it?
When you have an idea for an improvement to the interface simply click the bookmarklet in your favourites/bookmarks and it will compose a new email. Make sure you use the email address registered for your account on openvpms.org as the from address, otherwise it will be rejected. Follow the instructions in the email, click send and then carry on, it's all done.
Your post will appear in the user interface improvements project area once it has been processed.

Posted March 27th, 2009 by Matt YoungThe OpenVPMS development team are pleased to announce that beta testing has been completed and the much anticipated version 1.3 release of the the OpenVPMS web application is now available for download.
This release contains many new features, the big one being the new enhanced graphical scheduler which was created according to the requirements of the OpenVPMS community with contributions by the enhanced scheduling group.
OpenVPMS is dependant on community contributions and community funds to pay for the development of these new features. You can support the community by getting involved in the discussion of the software in the forums and mailing lists and contributing your suggestions, feedback, and reporting any problems you are having with the software. OpenVPMS is not for profit. All raised funds are used for paying for development of the software and repayment of seed funding. If you would like to make a donation toward OpenVPMS you can donate via paypal. The software license requires that any practice using the software must purchase a subscription to use the software.
We are very pleased to provide this release. It marks a milestone in the development of OpenVPMS and we look forward to further contributions by the community.
My experiences with the new Enhanced Scheduling
Posted October 9th, 2008 by vetmpcostaHi everyone,
Sorry I've been quiet for a while. Tony and Tim have not! Don't forget to visit the Community->Enhanced Scheduling Group pages - I've updated the main post inviting for comment on the new functionality and also requesting people interested in contributing to the development financially to contact me via email.
So I've been playing with the new enhanced scheduling on the website and here are my impressions;
The look:
Is good. Clear and clean just like the OpenVPMS app to date.
New community area on the website.
Posted May 28th, 2008 by Matt YoungSome of you may have noticed the new menu item "Community" at the top of the page. This is a new resource where community members can collaborate and share their ideas on individual projects to do with OpenVPMS.
