<font color="#ffc20e">~~**NEW FEATURE**~~</font> Create event remark pick lists and enable custom remarks for events! When editing [Event Definitions](docId\:Z-TxHd56q4yPYnjQpVogn) in PULSE, you can now create event remark pick lists and enable custom remarks. This new functionality allows technicians to select a remark from your pre-defined list when adding an event, or they can enter a custom remark if you choose to allow it.

~~****~~<font color="#9aba4d">~~**ENHANCEMENT**~~</font> New users are automatically prompted to enter their preferred account settings. When a user creates a PULSE account, the system automatically prompts them to set their preferred measurement units (imperial or metric), date/time format, and language. This is a usability improvement, as new users won't need to navigate to [Account Settings](docId\:adCj5YzYbeNGYC6XQqEc3) manually.

## Bug Fixes

- Wrong field label for ABORT event. The REM label now shows as expected on the ABORT event entry page.
- BNAME and REG now accept alpha characters. PULSE now accepts alpha characters for an animal's BNAME or REG number (for country code).
- EXPCALF fix. The EXPCALF item now displays correctly in reports and worklists.
- <font color="#67864e">~~**MYDC ONLY**~~</font> SSF export fix. If applicable, multiple events for the same animal are correctly exported. Previously, PULSE limited the export to a single recent event per animal.
