Changes
Modifications to the Public Browser Templates for Anthro, FCART and LHMC: The purpose of the public browser template is to display a view of fields published to the browser. Over time, the public browser templates became out of alignment with the browser display. Changes were applied to realign the templates with the browser.
Anthro Both Summary Documentation Status and Inventory Documentation Status block of fields on the associated procedures were relabeled for clarity. The word “Documentation” was previously omitted from these labels with the 8.1 release. These two blocks of fields were designed to record details about the documentation status.
