Distribution updates

We introduced a new tab Order items for Order requests to fix the scrolling of order items. The new tab has all the functions that were previously on the main tab and includes item filtering. The table of items is still displayed on the main tab of each Order request, but it is there only for information (to display the data, not modify it). All functions are moved to the new tab.

A number of your suggestions for improvements are addressed in the Distribution module.

Inventory location is displayed for order items:

Order request ID is displayed next to the request local number:

Intended use note is included in the Order information:

Order Type filter is changed to a checkbox list:

"Today" button is available in the date inputs of order forms:

Viability test attachments

You can add images and other attachments to individual replicates of a viability test.

Different labels in Split inventory

In Split Inventory you can now specify the label template and number of labels to generate for each new split. This way you can easily create labels for MTS, LTS and safety duplication packets when splitting the bulk.
