F2403_01: Revised Versioning Concept

With the new release 2024.3, the versioning concept in BAYOOSOFT Themis has been revised. From now on, you can individually version your documents, finalize and release documents, manage versions of the entire documentation, and add documents to your project retroactively. You can manage your project on a new overview page.

These new functions are explained in more detail below.

New Overview Page for Managing the Open Project

On the new overview page, you can see the versioning status of all documents in your project at a glance. By clicking on a corresponding document, you will be taken directly to the detailed view of the document.

With the appropriate permissions, you can use the following functions on this page:

  • Create new versions of documents
  • Manage permissions of a document
  • Edit document details (e.g., version number and description)
  • Change document status (e.g., New, In Progress)
  • Finalize and possibly release documents
  • View and open older versions of a document
  • Create new versions of the entire documentation
  • Edit details of the entire documentation
  • Select older versions of the entire documentation and view the corresponding versions of the included documents at that time.
  • Add documents to the project

Individually Version Documents

From now on, documents can be individually versioned. This means that you can control the versioning of a document independently of other documents in your project and, for example, create a new version of the risk analysis without affecting other documents such as the risk management plan.

Finalize and Release Documents

Documents can be finalized and released. A finalized document, whether with or without release, can no longer be edited. To perform this operation, appropriate permission is required, which can be granted through the new role Document Releasing Person.

Manage Versions of the Entire Documentation

With the new version of Themis, you can now version your entire documentation in your project. The entire documentation represents the combination of all your documents. A version of the entire documentation always contains specific versions of the included documents. Through versioning, you can record which documents in which version were included in your project at a specific time.

By finalizing a version of the entire documentation, it is frozen which versions of the documents are included.

Add Documents to a Project Retrospectively

From now on, documents can be added to existing projects.

Revised Dialog for Creating Projects

The dialog for creating projects has been revised and now consists of several steps.

F2403_02: IEC 60601-1 for Medical Electrical Equipment

With the new release 2024.3, the IEC 60601-1 standard for medical electrical equipment is integrated into BAYOOSOFT Themis. The standard contains requirements for the safety and essential performance of medical electrical equipment. To demonstrate the conformity of your medical devices, you now have the option to record the applicability of each requirement as well as the methods for verification. You can also document the standards and norms you have applied and generate a report with all this information.

📐 Enhancements

E2403_01: Predefined References to Other Licensed Documents

When a document references another document by definition, e.g., from the "MDR Technical Documentation" to the Risk Management Plan, a link to the corresponding document is displayed in Themis. It is still possible to upload files at these points, and the link is only displayed if the corresponding document is present in the project.

Screenshot showing two links to other documents (Link 1: Risk Management Plan, Link 2: Risk Analysis). Both links have a button labeled "Additional Files" that expands a section. The lower link is expanded, showing 3 input elements for uploading files. Labels of the 3 elements: "Hazard-Harms List (HHL)", "Product Risk Analysis", "Product Risk Management Report"

E2403_02: User Interface Improvements for Linking

The user interface for linking tasks has been improved:

  • The display of linked tasks has been made more compact.
  • The last selected link type is preselected for new links.
  • In addition to an existing task, a new task can now also be created and linked.

E2403_03: License Agreement and Privacy Policy Available in Help

The license agreement and privacy policy are now always available in the help section of BAYOOSOFT Themis.

E2403_05: Automatic Assignments to Support the Workflow

To avoid interrupting the workflow, tasks are automatically assigned to the creator when they are created. Additionally, the person who adds a document to a project automatically receives permission to edit that document.

E2403_06: Simplified Selection of Logged-In Account for Assignments

To simplify the selection of the logged-in account for assignments, it now appears at the top of the selection list.
