Hanging Protocols — Configuration Screen & Quick Access Strip
Overview
This release introduces updates to Hanging Protocols in OmegaAI, focused on improving usability, efficiency, and control across the HP Configuration screen and the Quick Access Strip in the Image Viewer.
What's New
1. Redesigned HP Configuration Screen
What changed:
The HP Configuration screen now includes a persistent top toolbar, a three-tab layout (All Protocols / HP Rules / Matching Rules), and a protocol search field. The toolbar displays the active protocol name, a Default badge for system protocols, and dedicated Clone Current and Save Protocol buttons.
Benefit:
Makes it easier to navigate, find, and manage hanging protocols without losing context — especially when working across multiple protocols or configurations.
2. Unsaved Changes Navigation Guard
What changed:
Navigating away from an unsaved protocol now triggers a prompt with Save, Skip, and Cancel options. The guard applies when switching protocols, cloning, using side-nav, or closing the browser.
Benefit:
Prevents accidental loss of work during protocol configuration, giving users full control over whether to save or discard changes before leaving.
3. HP Quick Access Strip — Hide Button
What changed:
A new chevron-up button on the Quick Access Strip lets you collapse the strip with one click. The hide is in-memory only — the strip reappears when you open a new study, switch modality, or refresh the page.
Benefit:
Gives users more screen space in the Image Viewer when the strip is not needed, without affecting any persistent settings.
4. Persistent "Hanging Protocols Bar" Toggle by Modality
What changed:
A new toggle in the Layout Selector lets you show or hide the Quick Access Strip per modality (e.g. CT, MR). The preference saves in your browser and syncs across open tabs.
Benefit:
Users who work across multiple modalities can customise strip visibility per modality, with the preference persisting across sessions in the same browser.
Important Notes
-
The strip hide (chevron-up) is in-memory only — it resets on study change, modality change, or page refresh.
-
The modality toggle is saved per browser, not per user account. Clearing browser data or logging in on a different machine will reset the preference.
-
On multi-monitor setups, strip visibility is independent per monitor.
