Feature requests by Zahoor, Helene:
- Add an automatic reminder email sent to the PI approx 1 week before the end of month billing cycle: please log in an enter your FOAPAL payment info.
- Show an “I accept the conditions” checkbox during the study creation wizard. It could be a new panel in the process, or part of the billing/finance panel.
- The admin should be able to see & review that PIs agreed to the conditions of the booking; this confirmation is necessary in the event of an audit by mcgill internal OR external RQ.
@helene & @rbouha2 > Special circumstance associated with PET scans:
The cyclotron team needs to have access to the PET equipment calendar, so they can approve the bookings according to their production conditions. Does the current study dependency scheme support this condition?
Feature request: Retrospective booking
Reda: Example: an outside centre requires product from cyclotron at the last minute, must be processed after the fact.
Ted: Is there any mechanism for issuing an extra invoice to cover miscellaneous costs for a last minute study?
Zahoor: technician’s ability to approve after hours bookings that otherwise would require CORE approval. A special case of equipment approval process.
ALL: retroactive back-dating booking is a HIGH priority.
A calendar view for the technician upon login. We should be able to see all equipment and it should size correctly so we can see the full workday.
This isn’t too useful:
We really need to have retroactive bookings.
And a calendar view for the tech and admin users.
Question: if the FOAPAL gets rejected, how does that work in the system???
@ebock1 thanks
For the Cyclotron, PET and microPET, we should be able to see the three calendars (daily schedule) on the same page for workflow purposes. The current BIC calendar allows us to do that, we shouldn’t lose that with the new system.
Need to be able to retrieve backup documents for services rendered - especially for external billing-this is needed to send to McGill when requesting an invoice.
we should be able to prepare statistical reports-internal vs external revenues, % of internal vs externals scans done, no of scans done on each machine, no. of scans done by researcher, types of scan, etc.
There should be a fast and easy way to see what is available on any given scanner.
Does anyone have the link to the app? I didn’t bookmark it yesterday and now I cannot remember how to access the page.
For our Microscopy Core: we should be able to bill our users the first 30 hrs/lab at the full rate and to apply a discount to the subsequent time.
Hello, here is a few request from my end.
I personally din’t got the chance to do some more troubleshooting this week as I wasn’t able to log in as a admin or even as a user so this is all based on the training we had but i’m sure that there will be more to add to this app to make it user friendly an compatible with the BIC PET-Radiochestry workflow and PET users needs.
Reda B.
I was not able to interact with the technician section. I created the MEG as the administrator, then added myself as the tech. Then I created a study and added the MEG and myself as user to the study. Then as a user I made a booking, approved it, but I see nothing from the technician view. Apparently there is supposed to be a list of bookings on the MEG but I just get ‘no data found’. So I cannot comment on the tech section. Did anyone else get the tech section to work?
Thank you all: I really appreciate your efforts and dedication. I will compile your comments and forward them to MedIT and the Dean. Unfortunately, it does not look like there will be any change to the software before MedIT is done with another project which has taken their priority.
My position is that, unless we’re shown how to enable the features that you describe +other important aspects of billing external vs internal sale, we don’t want to start using a tool that does not meet our needs. Agreed?
Agreed.
It would be good if we can tell them exactly which features are the must-have ones before we can start using the tool.
Agreed:
Must-haves:
Would be nice:
Wiring of external sales directly to A/R office
Some services may require two levels of approval, e.g. from PET and radiochemistry
Discounted rates after first 30 hours of usage (microscopy).
Fix bug reported by Beth
Hi Liliana:
To clarify, when 30 hours are used, are those consecutive hours on the microscope? or the total hours used so far?
