• Add: option for borrowing of chemicals by users from outside of the group (guests)

  • Details: The idea is each group should have one ‘user’ account designated for external users (users from outside of the group, guests). When someone outside of the group comes and borrows a chemical containers, this account barcode should be scanned and following by the container barcode. This specific account (made by turning on a specific permission setting External borrow in Predefined permission) is set so that during checking out of a chemical container by this account, a pop-up window would open and ask for the specific info (borrower’s name, group, contact info, and the group member assisting during checkout). This info is then saved into the history entry of that exact checkout event.

  • To use this function:

    1. Create a new user, some thing like ‘guests_<database_name>’ for example.

    2. While creating this user, choose the following ‘External borrow’ in the ‘Predefined permissions’

3. Use this new account in the OE barcode terminal. During checkout, a popup window like this should open to ask for more info:

• Fix for search by container barcode for customized barcode starts with '2'. Why: some users has reported in the case of customized chemical barcodes, for example '10001' or '11345' or '22069'. When searching using barcodes, all of those starts with '1' works fine but those starts with '2' don't return the correct result. This is because the automatically generated barcode by OE starts with '2' and in the code, all search query for barcode starts with '2' will be modified
