Merlin 3.5 includes diary management improvements when creating and updating diary columns, as well as improved practitioner visibility within appointment reminders.
Enhancements
Reminders
Appointment reminders now show the assigned practitioner’s name when one has been set, helping clients see the correct treating practitioner when the communication includes the practitioner merge field.
Diary Management
The Diary module now displays Practitioners and Task Lists in their own dedicated tabs, replacing the previous combined "Surgeons" view
- The tab previously named 'Surgeons' has been re-named to 'Practitioners'.
- Managing your previously named 'Special Surgeons' is now managed within a specific tab named 'Task Lists'.

This results in improved efficiency when setting up the visibility of Practitioners and Task Lists within your diary.
Un-neutered Pet Prompt
In Charity Mode, the unneutered pet prompt shown during appointment arrival can now be switched off by raising a request to Support.
Microchip Validation
Microchip number validation has been refined to help prevent numbers outside valid microchip ranges from being submitted.
