CLIMDES changelog

New features

• Country settings: Super admins can manage the country catalog from a dedicated settings page. Organization forms and exports use its shared country and language information.
• Dry matter measurements: Added Partial Dry Matter at 55°C and Laboratory Dry Matter at 105°C across sample forms, composite analysis, progress settings, imports, and exports. Absolute dry matter remains a separate measurement.
• Not applicable descriptors: Added a Not applicable option for Plant Part and Sample Maturity, with matching English and local-language values in forms and spreadsheet imports.
• API reference: Added an authenticated, searchable API reference and downloadable CLIMDES and RationSmart OpenAPI specifications.

Improvements and bug fixes

• Broader RationSmart exports: Exports now include all samples by default, retaining available nutrient values and leaving missing measurements blank. The optional completed-only mode applies nutrient eligibility and Summary Progress requirements.
• Nutrient selection: RationSmart exports prefer a complete CVAS panel, followed by a complete laboratory panel. Default exports can fill gaps between incomplete panels; absolute dry matter continues to use the laboratory measurement.
• Ingredient grouping: Matching RationSmart ingredients are combined by English export name and country, averaging available valid nutrient measurements and retaining the oldest included sample's identifying details. Names use consistent hyphens, omit non-applicable descriptors, and are cleaned of invisible formatting characters.
• Updated the partner spreadsheet template to the revised column map, removed retired laboratory fields from supported inputs and exports, and fixed protected bulk templates that caused Excel repair prompts.
• Preserved the current organization when restoring sample history and strengthened organization deletion checks for samples and composites.

New features

• Configurable Summary Progress: Authorized administrators can choose which fields count toward sample completeness.
• Progress reporting: Added completeness details to sample pages, average progress to organization and user statistics and summary emails, and a downloadable summary report.
• Completed-only exports: Added an optional RationSmart export filter for completed samples.
• Composite controls: Added organization-specific distance settings for super admins and confirmed deletion from composite detail pages. Deleting a composite keeps its member samples and clears their inherited analysis.

Improvements and bug fixes

• Standardized feed category, feed type, plant part, and collection maturity choices, with clearer guidance and handling of existing legacy values in forms and imports.
• Made characteristic maturity optional free text, distinct from Collection Sample Maturity. Cutting Number and Intervals Between Cuttings also accept text.
• Made saved optional values and dates clearable, improved collection location autosaving, and strengthened English and local-language name validation for samples and composites.

New features

• Composite samples: Added dedicated creation, detail, and print views, member management, and QR code and barcode labels.
• Shared laboratory analysis: Composite analysis is inherited by linked member samples, keeping their results synchronized and identifying the source of inherited values.
• Geographic checks: Added distance and cluster summaries, location issue details, and membership checks when samples are added or removed from composites.
• RationSmart credentials: Super admins can issue, rotate, expire, and revoke the integration token. New tokens are shown once when issued or rotated.

Improvements and bug fixes

• Added warnings before replacing a member sample's analysis and protected inherited results from conflicting direct edits and spreadsheet updates.
• Added confirmation and location rechecks before removing a composite's base sample, including a preview of other members that would need to be detached.
• Improved expired-session handling and protected dashboard requests for token management.

New features

• Organization languages: Added local-language selection when creating or editing organizations, with choices based on the selected country and a required language code.

• Kept approved uploads available in the import review queue.
• Added Straw to collection choices, revised maturity options, and clarified bulk-template instructions.
• Updated RationSmart export fields, including the required NPN CP column with its fixed zero placeholder.
