Released Incidents / Changes
This release contains the following fixes/changes:
218185: NHS v4.5 Testing Issue 1
Added the ability to lock the application orientation to either portrait or landscape vie a new application setting. This can be set either manually on the device (may need remote access user credentials to authorise) or via a barcode.
218186: NHS v4.5 Testing Issue 2
Fixed an issue that was preventing the ad-hoc container ID field from being cleared after processing an ad-hoc container meaning that the next manual entry/scan via built in scanner would be appended to the previous entry (which could make cause it to be rejected as an invalid format).

Special Notes
This change has made changes to the device’s database. As such the device database will be automatically cleared and re-created (when the app is opened). This will lose any outstanding data on the device (e.g. partially completed jobs or any data that has not been sent back to the server. As such, before installing this version, it is essential (to avoid any loss of data) to make sure all jobs on the device are either complete or have not been started and that all pending messages have been sent to the server. To ensure all pending messages have been sent the user can use the ‘Send Pending Messages’ menu option from the login screen which will either send any pending messages with a progress bar or inform the user there are no pending messages waiting to be sent.
