Release Date: May 9, 2018

Research Master ID Site New Features and Bug Fixes (v1.2.0)

1. (RMID/SPARC API) Upgrade to Ruby on Rails 5.1.5
In this release, the RMID/SPARC API framework has been updated to use Rails 5.1.5, for maintenance and better performance.

2. (SPARC API) Remove Custom DB connection
The SPARC API previously had its own database, but now pulls data directly from SPARCRequest production site to improve accuracy.

3. (RMID) Audit Trail Feature
An audit table with its related features have been added to the RMID application, which enables tracking of creation, updates, and destroys of records, by both users and the application programming interfaces (APIs).

4. (RMID) Protocol Method Logic Update (Wenjun??)
Previously there were scenarios where the PI name displayed for protocols in RMID back-end was different from the current PI name shown in SPARC, or eIRB. The protocol update method has been revamped to compare every protocol-level field and then determine whether an update to the protocol record is needed.

(RMID) RMID PI Update from eIRB Validation Sending Email
    Primary PI-associated data (Name and netID) that has been validated in the eIRB record is now being used to update the PI-associated data within RMID. When a RMID record has been updated an email notification is sent to the RMID creator, the previous PI and the new PI, and logged-in admin user as a default sender The "Notification" button allows the admin user to type in the message to be emailed to the users.

(RMID) Admin Message Minor Refactor

    The following changes have been made to the Admin message sent out by clicking the envelop icon on RMID records:

1). User names included in the opening line

2). Language updated to include the RMID record number and Short Title to give users more information.

(RMID) Tie Button/Display to User Rights

    Per a previous story, admin users were still able to edit the eIRB verified records by removing the "disabled" property in the console and then editing. This button has been tied to user rights and even admins will not be able to edit a verified record.

(RMID) Notifications for Admin Users
A "Notification" button has been added on the RMID homepage for admin users. This button allows the admin user to send a notification email to both the Requester user and the PI user and defaults to the admin users as the sender.

 (RMID) Associated Popup Bug
  Previously, when clicking on an existing RMID, a pop-up box did not appear for those that had no associated records. This bug has since been fixed and the pop-up box now appears for all RMID's, even those that do not have associated records.

 (RMID) Add net_id column to Users table
     The netID column has been added to the users table.

(RMID) PI Updates (compile all of these)

In this production, the following PI updates have been made:

1. PI Name has been removed from the research_masters column

2. PI Information is now linked back to the users table
