v3.0
The MERIT 3.0 release contains changes to support a new program.
The headline changes are better tracking of outcomes through MERI and project reporting and an overhaul of the organisation page to support different reporting requirements and redesigned reporting.
#2829 - Significant updates to the MERI plan to support a closer linkage with Project Logic and to tie outputs and projects activities more closely to project and program outcomes.
#2826, #2927, #2938 - A major update to the organisation page to support reporting equivalent to the Management Unit reporting on the organisation page.
#2928 - Programs now support a configuration item that requires approved MERI plans to be released by a MERIT Admin user if they need to be updated. This is because linkages (outcomes, services, data sets, protocol modules) from the MERI plan through to reporting forms can be broken by updates to the MERI plan after reporting has commenced.
#2940 - Provide appropriate selection of outcomes for reporting forms based on the outcomes that are reliant on delivering that service.
#2956, #2942 - MERIT supports login via the cognito authentication system. This includes a change to the format of user ids which can now be arbitrary strings. One consequence of this is the user id is now hidden from non MERIT administrator users in permission tables.
#2870 - New rules for report generation have been implemented to allow multiple rules to generate reports in the same category based on conditions related to project duration.
#2926 - MERIT will automatically add an "Other" category to the ESMA module list (supplied by an external system) unless the external system includes the "Other" module.
#2637 - The project end date can now be set to an earlier time, even if a report with data will have the reporting period reduced by this change. (Note a report with data cannot be removed and a submitted or approved report cannot be reduced in duration)
#2878 - The MERI plan PDF button has been replaced with "Display printable MERI plan" and it opens the result as a printable HTML page rather than a PDF document. A future change will remove the remaining PDF report generation.
#2934 - Ensures the full reporting schedule is available for NHT projects / orgs but that attempts to open the report leads to an "In development" page.
#2232 - Organisations in MERIT with no ABN supplied can now be edited without supplying an ABN
#2923 - Fixes a bug where outcomes that are neither primary or secondary outcomes result in empty boxes displayed on the MU page.
#2827 - Failed account lookups are no longer cached for 24 hours to allow a workflow where a user registers an account after a failed attempt to assign them permissions but then the cache needs to be cleared before the permission can be assigned.
#2917 - Adding or removing a user permission on an organisation, program or management unit no longer applies the same operation to all projects associated with that entity.
#2950 - This is a script to setup the data required for the new program.
#2924 - In an organisation page only projects with the 'active' status will appear in the list of organisation announcements that are able to be bulk edited.
#2879 - Fixed a date dependency in a functional test.
#2933 - Script unrelated to release
#2967 - When a program is flagged as private, projects associated with that program will no longer appear on organisation, management unit or program pages unless the user has elevated access to the MERIT hub.
