Allow 4 levels of risk acceptability – add new RPN level in Tabular RPN as Lowhttps://www.orcanos.com/help/Knowledgebase/fmea-settings-2/

Online Docgen For Generating Documents

Dashboard And Reports

Changes that were applied in the Dashboard, were meant to save precious time to users

 

Public Dashboards

Dashboard owner can now share a dashboard by making it Public (for all or for specific groups). This allows creating one dashboard once and use it multiple times for multiple users, in order to avoid for end user creating his own dashboard. It works the same as the Private/Public filters.

Allow different size (Small, Medium, Full) for Pre-defined Panels like Recent Items and Recent Filters

Traceability

Start /Create and Cancel Trace

Allows to create Trace by Right-click the Item in the Product Tree

Changes in Traceability Matrix Report (Dashboard)

• Include Original ID in the Traceability Matrix tab
• Last run status in traceability shall take last run status of the Selected Project Version

ECO (Engineering Change Order)

ECO Improvements For Better Change Management

 

Allow to add DMS Item with Different Revision under more than one ECO, in case DMS items were belong to a signed ECO, they can be added to other ECO’s

Make the ECO ID in the revision table of DMS Item as hyperlink, so it can be opened directly from the Document Control specific document revision

Document Control 

Adding powerful online capabilities for importing and exporting your repository 

 

Online Import/Export Documents

The desktop plugin is no longer in use, it is purely online now

Download your DMS repository in one click: User can export the entire DMS from Orcanos Document Control to his local drive. Orcanos will download a zip file that contains all files and folders in the selected hierarchy, based on the settings user selected (Source, approved PDF, etc.).

Upload files and folders – Allow upload files and folders to the Document Control system by drag and drop – User can add multiple files and folder by simply drag and drop. https://www.orcanos.com/help/Knowledgebase/import-documents-files-into-orcanos-dms-document-control/

Allow regeneration of the PDF publishing in case of failure

User can regenerate the PDF in case of PDF Publish error using Retry Icon in the Action Column of the Corresponding Revision File

Work Items

Accelerate QMS Capabilities

 

New Children Tab –Show child items in a new TAB

Add unlimited Work Items from Admin – In order to customize your QMS completely, Orcanos has added a capability for Admin to add new work items from the Orcanos System – Add Icon is available on Admin >Customization> Work Items to add new Work Items (requires special license)

New work item Recall, code RCL added in Work Items List to keep better tracking of recalls and trace them back to your QMS or design control https://www.orcanos.com/help/Knowledgebase/work-items-2/

Suspicious Indication – Don’t apply suspicious if status changes, only for name and description

https://www.orcanos.com/help/Knowledgebase/suspicious-items/

Include original ID Field in the filter, so in case item is branched, it is possible to see its original ID in the results

Allow to add new work item from template also from Work Item menu and not just from product tree

Work Item Editor

Add new capabilities for the editor – Table and Image resize using drag and drop rather than open a popup screen

Add Image button to RICH TEXT tool bar

Work Item Grid – Improvements in Back Button – It retains the grid stage before clicking the View icon (performance considerations)

On Clicking Back, the View is not refreshed to display all data but it displays the previous selected View grid results

History tab – Only Top 50 should are listed by default (performance considerations). Rest would be retrieved on clicking “More” Hyperlink

Traceability tab – The new Column “Locked Indication” is added. It would display the Project’s version current status

Import Work Items

Name in Import Setup is not mandatory now

Import pagination allows to list 1000 records per page now

Import CSV File with Numeric Field Blank – Handle the blank numeric data in the Excel by giving default value as 0

Search

Change the advanced search to search complete word instead of a partial word, in order to make search faster

e-DHR

e-DHR allows for lot Management –  Allow managing lot’s released numbers. So upon signoff of an EDHR item with lot# based on X quantity of items, that action will release X instances of that same serial number
