Japanese and Korean users

I am wondering if there are others who are using Quality Managment in Japan or South Korea and how you are getting around the language barrier.  I am hoping these languages will be added in the future upgrades.

Date System Limitations in Ideagen Quality Management – suggested improvement.

Recently we requested for Ideagen to develop the way the due date system works to improve functionality and save on time wastage within the business.The current workload functionality is set at the template stage and is purely based on the raised date. This is great in theory, but in the real world, it leads to a lack of efficiency & requires considerable manual intervention with the need for micro-managing all the due dates of stages & actions within the system.As an FYI some of our Q-Pulse processes have 15 or more stages with multiple tasks within each stage.Scenario - We have a process that involves three sequential stages, the current methodology has defined dates as follows:The first stage due date is preset 7 days from the raised date, the second stage due date is preset 12 days from the raised date, and the third stage due date is 16 days from the raised date.In theory, the task will be completed in 16 days and no dates will ever be changed.However, what if the first st

ECCAIRS-Compatible Reporting in Ideagen Quality Management: Looking for Best Practices

Hello everyone,I am the Safety Manager at LOT Polish Airlines, and we are in the process of introducing ECCAIRS-compatible reports into our system. We are currently using Ideagen Quality Management: Professional, and we've successfully imported all the necessary fields into our system.The challenge we're facing is with providing a user-friendly experience for our pilots and other employees to submit these reports. ECCAIRS requires a significant number of fields to be filled out, many of which are either unnecessary for the initial submission or should/can be completed at a later stage by the flight safety inspectors. We are concerned that this complexity might discourage individuals from reporting and make a template of a report hard to fill out.On the web reporting portal, we can hide certain fields from the reporter, but unfortunately, this functionality does not seem to be available on the mobile app, which many of our employees may use for convenience.How are you handling this issu

Can you add events without completing them?

Hi Community!Is there a way to restrict the permissions so a user could add an event, but not complete it? For example, I would like a training user to create their own event, but then a training manager would be required to check the record before marking it as complete? Thanks,Kate

Is it possible to remane "user defined additional fields" within the CAPA module of v6?

Hi, I am hoping that someone may be able to advise. I am currently using a user defined section of the CAPA module to collate additional information within the reports and was wondering if it is possible to rename this heading from “user defined” to something more appropriate that other users within our QMS would be able to find?

Master Competencies with Multiple Levels

Hi All, I’m new to Q-Pulse and am currently trying to set up the People module to use for training.I have successfully applied Master Competencies to Job Roles which then populate the training plan with all of the requirements in one level.However, where I have set up a Master Competency with two levels, only one level is applying to the job role.In the Master Competency section the two levels of requirements are bundled together. However they are split as two separate lines when I come to apply them to the Job Role. Can anyone help with where I am going wrong? I am hoping to have one level with activities that are required to be completed, and then the other level will link the required SOPs. Thanks,Kate

Document module Group Editing

We love all the functionality the IQM document module has to offer, and we utilize all of it.  We have large projects that include hundreds of data records which are linked by using related documents. There are times where new metadata will be added, we do often use a placeholder if we anticipate an addition. If there was a group edit function for Properties, it would prevent us to open each record’s properties to add this new metadata.  We also share data with our suppliers and customers using Ideagen Huddle, the data in Huddle is hyperlinked to IQM so if there is a change our supplier/customer has the current revision. To notify them of the revision change we add them to the Notify Only in Distribution. Here again it can be hundreds of data records, so a group edit for the Distribution function would be very valuable to us.

ISO 13485:2016 7.3: Medical device design controls and why they’re importantBlog

So how can you actually apply, manage and use our software to ensure you are compliant with ISO 13485 design control requirements?Each of the sub-clauses in 7.3 require documented SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures). Our software takes this one step further – it enables you to enforce each of the procedures, making quality by design and default.It's a much more natural way to plan, record and manage quality - an approach preferred by auditors. Rather than SOPs which are bolted-on, they are embedded. Quality is part of the culture. It's no longer a "quality management system" as such, it's the busine

Mobile App Release 2.5 notes Lack of detail

With the recent Mobile App upgrade to 2.5 the release notes appeared very light on detail but gave the impression that most of the changes were superficial presentation and rebranding to announce the new brand and improve the user experience along with mentioning the below:Now not being a software or network security specialist this appears to lack detail around when implemented you will no longer be able to support android devices using third party remote sharing such as MS Teams, TeamViewer or other apps of it’s ilk, nor will android phones be able to take screenshots of the app so if you were intending on making a user guide for your users best you do it on iOS and hope that the android experience is identical because - well users are users.So Ideagen, can you please tell me how we can now remotely support the portion of our user community using android phones? I’m hoping someone here can help because raising a service ticket keeps pointing me back to the wonderfully light on detail

Keep reading below to find out just how you can do this…If you have been using IQM Pro for a long time, you likely have many Supplier and Customer Records in those modules. It is possible there are some that you are no longer affiliated with, yet they still appear in your Module List View. Rather than deleting them and losing all of the valuable data, you can actually just archive them and even reinstate them again in the future.In the Administration Console, under Managed Lists, select Customer/Supplier Name   Select the
