1. Changes to Ideagen Quality Management 7.1.6

Ideagen Quality Management 7.1.6 is a maintenance and feature release aimed to increase security as it relates to user credentials and improve performance in Dashboards. As part of our effort to continue building out web functionality for end users, this release also contains the ability to print reports from the Audit, CA/PA, and Documents modules in the web application. This functionality will allow users to easily access hardcopy snapshots for needs outside of Ideagen Quality Management, without having to access the Ideagen Quality Management Windows client. 

This update also includes all of the fixes applied in recent updates and so you can directly upgrade to Ideagen Quality Management 7.1.6 from Ideagen Quality Management 5.95 and above.
