#6403: Change the Create Report button icon to better indicate what it does
Display all dates in Bikram Sambat format when Nepali locale selected
For years, the CHT has supported recording the answers to date questions in forms using the Bikram Sambat calendar format when the user has selected the Nepali locale. However, the date values displayed throughout the app would still be shown in the Gregorian calendar format.
Now the application has been updated to also use the Bikram Sambat format when displaying dates in places such as the reports list.
| Old Dates | New Dates |
|---|---|
 |  |
Additionally, a new to-bikram-sambat xPath function has been added that converts a date to a string containing the value of the date in the Bikram Sambat format.
#7294: Use Bikram Sambat dates throughout the webapp when Nepali locale selected
Properly display tab labels on small screens
Previously, the labels for the main tabs in the CHT app (Messages, Tasks, People, etc) were not displayed on devices with very small screens leading to some confusion around the different tabs and their purposes.
We have updated the tab labels to always display even on small screens. Additionally the size of the label text can scale so that the text will display properly even when the tabs are small.
#7409: Display tab’s label in small screens
Highlights
Improved server-side purging
We have made several improvements to our server-side purging functionality allowing it to perform better at scale.
- Enhanced logging during purging via a new
purgelogdocument saved in themedic-sentineldatabase after every purge. - If a contact has more than 20,000 records, it will be skipped and none of its records will be purged.
- A log will appear for the skipped contact and the id of this contact will be saved in a new
skipped_contactsproperty in thepurgelog.
- A log will appear for the skipped contact and the id of this contact will be saved in a new
- The batch size for contacts to purge will dynamically adjust based on the number of records associated with the contacts.
#7280: Server Side Purge does not complete to the end
Improved login experience
Users who have experienced issues with login should note that this release fixes some bugs. Specifically:
- #7343 Deployments using a browser on mobile shouldn’t get erroneously logged out.
- #6338 Changes to pseudo-static assets, like images and translations, won’t cause unnecessary reloads for app users.
- #7187 Infinite loops and empty modal boxes at login should not longer be present.
