When a document is linked to an ECO, and signed, the routing status of the document is not changed to Approved, but Pending Approved.

Only after the ECO is approved – then the related documents are released, and the routing status becomes Approved. 

Same for obsoleting a document via an ECO

Remove Pending Approved/Pending Obsolete document

The system allows the user to remove Pending Approved/Pending Obsolete document from ECO, what used to be blocked in the previous release

ECO Action Type

quality world has moved into RISK-based approaches, it is applying here as well. Based on how the work outcome of each employee may affect the RISK of the product, you need to address the training level you are about to conduct for that employee.

Performance – Using Cache

Orcanos Release 4.3.0.80 Overview

Compliance Engine

The compliance engine infrastructure was improved and became much more robust. You can now include filters as part of your rules settings, so basically add any rule required to support your regulations, such as:

• Software requirements related to the risk that have no test traceability
• Defects related to Complaints in Critical priority that have not been addressed for more than 3 days
• Risk with mitigation by design without design artifact link to it

Export to Word Document(Online Document Generator)

Override Item Description Font: Allows setting Item Description minimum font size of 5px

Dynamic Table Header Font Size and Dynamic Table Font Size: Allow user to set the minimum font size of 5px

Step Settings: Allows the user to select if to include Test Steps or Test Steps Results (with run data columns)

Docgen log: An option for log file is set on account level. Ability to view the Docgen log hyperlink from the main log.

Import Word Document

Import word document with different work item types: up to now, we could import a document with the child nodes as Paragraph only. Now the user can mark specific headings in the document as another work item type like a software requirement, system requirement, etc.

Document Control

Add the option to Obsolete a document

ECO – Engineering Change Order

ECO Feature is fully re-designed to better support the regulations and best practice

Now when a document is linked to an ECO, and the document is signed, the status is not becoming as Approved, but as Pending Approved.

Only after the ECO is approved – then the related documents are released. And become Approved. 

Same for obsoleting a document via an ECO

Allow user to remove Pending Approved/Pending Obsolete document from ECO [Build 80]

Special Reports Mechanism

We have been asked lots of times to export information that was not supported by Orcanos tools (such as Users usability, One report that links several work items, Admin reports, etc).

We have added a new capability that allows generating any report, of any type in any format, with the ability to save it to Excel

In order to use this capability, it is required to do the following:

• Design the need together with Orcanos team
• Orcanos adds the special report to your account
• Report is ready to use 

No upgrade is required, and it is usually done within 1-2 hours for simple reports, and more for more complex reports

This mechanism also supports parameters

Admin: Automation Screens [Build 80]

Admin: Mandatory Field Rule

Allow user to add multiple mandatory Field Rules for the same Field: 

Up to now, the user was able to define one rule for one field. For example:

Category can’t be Not Set if the status is Fixed.

User can now add more rules, such as:

Category cant be Not Set and Priority cant be Not Set if the status is Fixed

User can define rules for multi-select fields

Admin: Custom Fields

Multi Line Text Box: User can add a new custom field of type multi line Text box

Item Name and Defect Synopsis are also converted to Large Text Field Type, so if the name is long, it is shown completely on edit mode

Add new system tables: System users (containing roles), System groups (All Groups)

Clear temp files: Add Admin option under “Maintenance” section – “Clear temp files”

Admin: Exclude Versions [Build 78]

Allow user to exclude project version for selected group users

Keep History on Remove Test Cases: User get an option to remove test case from execution set and keep history of past executions done or not [Build 80]

Defects

Adding Defects from Test Run: The Default description comes from Defect Template defined in the Project. If the template doesn’t exist, the system puts a default template that contains the test data (as today)

Clone Defects: User can clone the Existing Defect in the same project or in different Projects, while keeping traceability to Origin

Clone Defect Permission: Allows to control the defect option available in work items> more actions [Build 79]
