· Reception Error: Fixed an issue in IBLIS Reception where the system displayed an error and failed to proceed when locating an existing patient on row 3 or below while DDE was activated.
· Resolved an issue where the Fetch button was incorrectly enabled when only some tests within an order had results available. The button will now only activate once all tests in the order have been completed. For example, if FBC and Liver Function are ordered together, the Fetch button will remain inactive until results for both tests are available.
