We’re delighted to announce the release of LabCollector version 5.42!

We have added or made changes to several key features:

• Many improvements in custom fields (calculations, controls, formulas…)
• New features in the Purchase Order Manager (threshold approvals…)
• Inline field value versioning (compliance pack)
• Improved recipe/production tool (new options)
• Improved risks management with protection blue pictograms
• Custom fields on registry book, risks…
• Direct ordering with QIAGEN
• New tree view for record links
• Revised group logic
• and much more (see full changelog).

This is a simple update but before upgrading from an older LabCollector please ensure that:

• You have a recent backup of your data.
• Your server has the latest ioncube. Also, PHP5.6 is preferred.
• Your Support & Upgrades package is up to date! Otherwise you will not be entitled to a new 5.4x license.
