Signature locking
You will now be prompted to save or lock signatures before switching to different pages to ensure that the signatures are captured and saved successfully.
Windows client Remote Background Service connections
We fixed an issue with the Windows client attempting to connect to the Remote Background Service when the service was not running, resulting in an exception error in the logs.
Application loading issue
We fixed an issue causing the Windows application to not fully load for new installations when a Service was associated with a Pennsylvania Command Facility.
We are aware of the following issues and are working to resolve them in an upcoming release:
-
NEMSIS 3.5: ZOLL emsCharts for Windows is not yet updated for NEMSIS 3.5 and cannot generate NEMSIS 3.5 data. You must upload your charts and complete them in ZOLL emsCharts Web to generate and validate NEMSIS 3.5 data.
-
ZOLL Cloud EKG Import unexpected error: If the EKG Report Image Type for your service is set to anything other than 'Default (Leave as JPG, Bitmap)', users will receive an "Unexpected error" when trying to import into ZOLL emsCharts for Windows. Administrators can update this setting in the Web EKG Configuration code table.
-
Multiple brands of EKG devices: If you use both ZOLL EKG devices and other manufacturers' devices, you will need two instances of ZOLL emsCharts for Windows installed.
-
Windows on ARM is not currently supported. For example, Microsoft Surface Pro X devices. For more information about Windows on ARM, see Microsoft's Windows Arm-based PCs FAQ.
