| 11 Mar 11 |
Read Only Registry entries |
Prior to Vitalware Version 2.2.01 it was possible to make the back-end tables read-only (and it still is), however the Vitalware client did not reflect the read-only nature of the table in the module interface: it was still possible to select the menu entry to insert a new record, but an error would then be displayed as the table was read-only. The ReadOnly Registry entries control the Vitalware client while still leaving the back-end tables operational. This means that the menu entry to insert a new record is now disabled if the table or system is marked as read-only. |

Postal Code verification Registry entries |

Samples module |
Sampling facilitates the selection of a subset of records on which to perform some processing or other. This is particularly useful when an external agency is responsible for data entry of records and it is desirable / required to perform quality assurance on the records before accepting them into the production system.
The Samples module is used to manage the process of sampling records.
|
| 28 Feb 11 |
Communications module |
Unlike the Correspondence module, which records correspondence related to a POS record, the Communications module can be used for all communications (letter, fax, email, phone call) related to a registration or POS transaction. Additionally, Communications allows for formatted letters (not just simple text as with the Correspondence module).
The Communications module is used to:
- Create templates for standard outgoing correspondence (letters, etc.)
- Record all incoming and outgoing communications for registration and POS records.
See How to work with the Letters module for details.

| 10 Feb 11 |
Multi-group Support |
Vitalware Version 2.2.01 introduces multi-group support, which allows a single user to be registered in more than one group:
- A user who is a member of more than one group can select the group name to use from the Login dialogue box when logging into Vitalware.
- At any time it is possible to switch to another group without logging out and back in again.
- When switching groups the user decides whether opened modules should remain open or whether they should be closed.
- Any new modules opened will use the group permissions assigned to the group that the user switched to.
See How to log in to Vitalware for details about logging in to <Prod> when you are a member of more than one group.See How to work with multiple groups in <Prod> for details about how to switch between groups in Vitalware.
See Group Registry entry for details about assigning users to more than one group.
