In order to activate this service please call AHP; there is a small fee associated on a per TXT basis. Change Animal Group Display Order On  the Calendar At calendar print time, you will now be able to select the display order of the animal groups. This will allow you to choose the order in which animal groups are printed on the calendar. Print Group Description On the Calendar The animal group description will now also be printed on the calendar column under the animal group. This is in addition to the actual animal group name. This will help if you wish to describe the differences between the animal groups, with similar names for different farms ( can be farm specific).

Monday, August 01, 2011 - AHP NEW RELEASE ( VER 01.02.04 )

Home | Tutorial | Contact Us | EHP | CFL | P2P         NEW VERSION RELEASE ANIMAL HEALTH PLAN     We are pleased to announce a new version of AHP with a redesign / simplification of the menu system as well as a work-flow system to create plans quickly and easily. Please find the new features below. New Menu System A simplified menu system with only relevant buttons on the main screen.  New style of interface using css has also been placed under the Health Plan Section. Wizard Style interface for creating new health plans We have re-designed the Health Plans section. A wizard style interface now leads you step by step to create new health plans. On-the-fly creation of farms and farm contacts are now possible, eliminating the need to go into the Set Up section. The new design also scans the selected template or plan being used and assists with checking that enough people have been assigned with the required Task "Responsibilities" for automatic creation of reminder receivers. On-the-fly addition of more staff is possible at this work-flow point, making the whole process of creating new plans seamless. Switching between Health Plan and Calendar  We have added a 'View Calendar' button in the Existing Health Plan section. You can now switch between the health plan and  the graphics calendar and print the PDF output easily. Email & SMS Reminders with Log You may now have both email and SMS reminders. The sent reminders are logged in the AHP system under Set Up > Event Log. Please note that since SMS messages cost 21.9c per message, it is disabled as default. Please contact us if you would like to enable the SMS reminder option and open an account. Pre-designed "Gold Standard" templates already configured and ready to go In addition to the great early and ongoing work by Richard Atkinson from Te Kuiti/Piopio, we now also have assistance from a highly dedicated and passionate team from VetEnt in Te Awamutu and Wairoa. We have a set of pre-designed "Gold Standard" templates configured in the AHP Database for Dairy  as well as Sheep/Beef farms.  They will be published and ready to use for all users very soon. Please let us know if you wish to have access to these templates. Hope all that was useful! Until next time.....

Monday, March 21, 2011 - AHP NEW RELEASE - REVISED ( VER 01.02.03 )

Home | Tutorial | Contact Us | EHP | CFL | P2P         NEW VERSION RELEASE ANIMAL HEALTH PLAN     We are pleased to announce a new version of AHP. Several requested features have been implemented in this release and will be available as of late today (21 Mar 2011). Please find these updates below. Task / Product Categories We have decided to incorporate FIXED global categories for Products and Tasks. Each Task / Product will be able to be assigned to multiple categories. This way, when selecting products for a task in a Health Plan, only relevant products will come up in the drop-down list eg. only drenches for drench tasks, and so on. This should speed up the use of product assignment to tasks. The design is complete but Categories will be available later this month. We will announce this as soon as a basic list has been finalised by our Sponsors. All the Merial Ancare products will be fully categorised and ready. We also welcome your suggestions to add to this list over time. We wanted a universal list on the portal for various reasons, some of which will become apparent later on in this project. Product File Import from your VPMS This feature will allow you to export relevant products from your Practice Management System into a CSV file and then import these into the AHP system for your clinic. The “wizard” will allow you to assign the correct column heading in your file to the ones that AHP requires. The fields that can be imported are: Product name The name of the product. Product code A unique short code of the product. VPMS code The unique code from your Veterinary Practice Management System. Common code The product name without the product pack size. Product size The size of the product. eg. 10 Unit The unit of the product size. eg. Ltr RRP The Recommended Retail Price of the product Selling price The selling price of the product. Milk withholding The milk withholding period of the product (days) - optional Meat withholding The meat withholding period of the product (days) - optional Actives Drug active ingredient - optional The design is such that multiple imports of the file will only add new lines or updated lines (eg. prices) and will use the VPMS code as the unique identifier. Exporting Data from VetlinkSQL VetlinkSQL users can use the "Report Exporting" function to generate the CSV file easily: 1) Go to the Reports > Export/Spreadsheets > Next 2) Click on the Products > Add New 3) Fill in the details of the pop-up form as follow: 4) Choose the new created product and click on the "Next" button 5) Select "All" for the drop down lists and export the data into a CSV file Exporting Data from other VPMS If you are using another VPMS, please contact your supplier to assist you with exporting the price list. New Interface for Creating a New Health Plan We have now redesigned the menu in the "Health Plans" section. It is much more intuitive and allows the addition of new Farmers/Farms "on-the-fly". The number of steps required to create a plan has also been reduced and "fine tuned". Hope all that was useful! Until next time.....

Thursday, January 20, 2011 - AHP NEW RELEASE

Home | Tutorial | Contact Us | EHP | CFL | P2P         NEW VERSION RELEASE ANIMAL HEALTH PLAN     We are pleased to announce a new version of AHP. A few major internal changes have been implemented so that a number of requested features could be accommodated. Please find below some of these updates with more to follow in the near future. Show products on the calendar option Several users wanted the product names associated with Tasks to be shown/printed on the calendar. In order to make it truely flexible, you may activate or inactivate it at a product level under setup first. This will flow down to the task level (attached/recommended product under setup) where you have a further option to "override" it if you wish. Once a plan has been generated, and all pre-configured setup options have been copied across, you can also control it, task by task, at a plan-task level. Example: You may wish to have PRODUCT A always show on a calendar - you can set this up permanently under setup. Now, when setting up TASK Q, if PRODUCT A is linked/recommended then it will show as "print on calendar". If you do not wish to have PRODUCT A print for this particular task, you may disable it at this level. Now, when this task appears on a final Health Plan, it will carry across the option chosen. The user is then also able to edit it at this level for the actual plan in question. This auto flow-through with editability at each level makes the system truely flexible for all users and all scenarios. A final and further override option is available at print time (see below). Product Print Option at Calendar Print time When printing off the final Annual (or the Monthly) calendar, you now have the option of printing/hiding product names in the task cell of the calendar. Check Box Print Option at Calendar Print time When printing off the final Annual (or the Monthly) calendar, you now have the option of printing a "check box" in the task cell of the calendar. This is so that users can "tick-off" tasks as they complete them on hard copy. Dependency Several users felt that the wording of the dependency setting was difficult to understand. We have now made some changes and a clearer  description has been added under the Set Up > Template section. New demo account for video tutorials A new demo account is available for the AHP video tutorials. While it is a little dated, we will update it in the near future as the feature-set settles further. It can be sent out to a non-AHP user on request. Hope all that was useful! Until next time.....
