Enhancements
# | Category | Summary |
| 5024 | Reporting | Export functionality has been added to the following reports, making it easier to analyse, share and archive reporting data outside of NOVA:
 |
| 5597 | Examinations | The Transpose option within Examinations and Dispense has been enhanced. Previously, selecting Transpose only affected the eye on which the action was triggered. The functionality has now been updated so that both the right and left eye prescriptions are transposed simultaneously, ensuring prescription data remains consistent and reducing the need to transpose each eye individually.
|
| 6373 | Data Mining | Performance improvements have been made when using transaction filters. |
| 6535 | RotaCloud | NOVA now integrates with RotaCloud, the cloud-based workforce management platform, allowing staff shift information to be displayed directly within NOVA. What's New
|
| 6550 | Petty Cash | The Save button is now disabled while a save request is being processed. This prevents users from clicking the button multiple times and accidentally creating duplicate petty cash records. |
| 6551 | System | A Select/Deselect All option has also been added to all areas that include branch selection, making it quicker and easier to manage multiple branches at once. This reduces the time required to configure settings, apply changes, or generate reports across your organisation, while helping to minimise missed branch selections and improve overall efficiency.  |
| 6563 | Patient Files | NOVA now supports image files created by Medmont Studio, including MXF files that can contain multiple patient images. What's New
|
| 6572 | Examinations | NOVA now allows multiple grading tabs to be created and recorded within the same examination record. This enhancement enables clinicians to record and review different grading assessments within a single examination without needing to overwrite, combine, or omit grading information. It provides greater flexibility when documenting multiple ocular findings and supports a more comprehensive clinical record.  |
| 6580 6591 | Merge Fields | New merge fields have been added:
