# 🎉 Software Release Overview 16.27 & 16.28🎉

At CareMaster, we are dedicated to continuously improving our platform to better serve your needs and we are excited to share with you our new product release format for 2024!  This release is jam packed with exciting updates.


## **Featured product change**

Introducing 'Quick Save' on the Supports Page

In our ongoing efforts to improve efficiency and performance with this feature, you can now swiftly save group supports after editing, reducing the time spent on manual tasks. This enhancement empowers you to make updates efficiently and focus on what matters most—providing excellent care and support to those who need it.

The ‘Quick Save’ option allows for faster saving of supports by bypassing certain validation checks. This feature is particularly helpful when you're making minor changes, such as adding a note in recurring or group supports where many supports are updated, but a full validation check is not required.

Please note, 'Quick Save' is available only when editing existing supports, not when creating new ones.

You can easily access the 'Quick Save' feature by clicking the down arrow on the standard save button on the edit support page.

## **Updated platform functionality**

**Audit logging:** We're now capturing field-level changes for participant, worker, and support records in CareMaster, offering you greater transparency and insight into your data. While this feature isn't available for review or reporting just yet, it's coming soon.

**Bulk updates:** This time-saving enhancement to our platform means you can now make changes to participant statuses in bulk more efficiently, saving you valuable time and effort. No more individual updates—simply streamline your workflow with this convenient bulk operation feature  ![](https://support.caremaster.com.au/api/attachments.redirect?id=6b021f7b-fc77-4291-b4bb-e6ccb6f7768d)**Roster filters:** A dedicated row is available where all Unassigned supports can be easily viewed and assigned.

**Case notes:** By adding a Worker Category Restriction to a Case Note, you can limit the audience who can view and access the specific Case Note. The same worker category must be added to the worker profile in the Vitals tab.

**Custom Reporting templates:** This innovative addition empowers you to create personalised export templates for both participants and workers, tailored to your specific needs. Now, you can define the fields you want and their order, making data exportation a breeze. Plus, you can save these templates for future use, ensuring efficiency and consistency in your workflow.

**Roster Category Type:** We've introduced a new category type: Service Organisations. Now, you can easily view supports categorized by service organisations.

**Participant profile update:** you can now manually enter a name for the person providing consent, rather than being limited to selecting an existing client record of type "Carer Nominated." This added flexibility simplifies the consent process and gives you more control over your data management tasks.

**Compliance:** In accordance with regulatory compliance standards, participants can no longer be deleted from the system until 7 years after their exit date. This adjustment ensures that we maintain the integrity and security of your data while adhering to industry regulations.


## **Growth and Scale**

As part of our ongoing commitment to improving platform scalability and stability our product roadmap now reflects work we are doing in this area.

**Participant profile update:** We've migrated the technology powering your profile page from Blade to VUE, bringing you faster initial page loads and accelerated loading times for individual modules. This means individual popups can be updated without waiting for the whole page to refresh

**Email:** We've transitioned to a new email provider: AWS. This change is designed to significantly improve the delivery and management of emails, ensuring improvements to overall reliability


## **Coming Soon**

**CareMaster APIs:** We're thrilled to announce a significant update that enhances your experience and offers even more flexibility: **the integration of APIs for seamless connectivity with third-party products!**

What does this mean for you? It means greater efficiency, smoother workflows, and endless possibilities for customization within CareMaster. Our APIs empower you to effortlessly manage participants and workers, streamlining your operations and saving you valuable time and resources.

But that's not all – we're committed to expanding our API offerings to cover more aspects of our solution in the future. Coming soon we will use these new APIs to integrate with the NDIS PRODA portal to simplify the claims process.

This means even more opportunities to tailor CareMaster to your unique requirements and integrate it seamlessly with your existing tools and systems.
