2022-07-28 - Document management for AICIS assessments is now deployed. Essentially Chemintro creates a series of notes for all "Required" documentation for an assessment. As documentation is nailed, the note gets converted to a link and a user can see exactly what remains to be done while being also able to bring up the documentation on demand. One can choose to create separate series of notes for "If available" documentation. "Required" and "If available" vary depending on categorisation of the chemical. See trac.chemintro.com/ticket/11
2022-07-07 - Assessment IUCLID6 checklists deployed. Depending on risk focus, AICIS either Requires particular evidence supporting claims or proving hazards do not exist OR wants to see them If available. Chemintro now constructs those two checklists automatically. See trac.chemintro.com/ticket/6
2022-06-15 - Auto-delete irrelevant Useful links to AICIS checklists and record keeping obligations when user adjustments cause the categorisation to change. Similarly, irrelevant Notes are deleted - except if they have been edited, in which case the title gets "No longer relevant" appended.

2022-04-19 - Add tilde '~' prefix to "~Product containing <chemical>" so it sinks alphabetically. Auto-remove ~ prefix if the product gains any volume.
