Exam/Highlights (updated version)

  • Added an option in the Highlights Sidebar settings to allow it to default open, per user.

  • Updated the form setup to now allow for switching from all 'neutral' checkboxes and back to 'normal' and 'abnormal'. Previously, if all checkboxes were of the 'neutral' type, it was locked in.
