Sample Entry Perspective Component

Addition of the Perspective SPC Sample Entry component to the Perspective SPC Palette.
When calling `updateSample` with `valuesRecorded` as false, you can record additional factors like reference numbers and product codes.
A change preserves the sample approved date and time if specified.
The SPC Sample Entry component now displays product code and reference number fields.
Popup dialog now confirms successful saves, and a popup error appears if no username is accessible, but is required.
The toolbar in Perspective Sample Entry includes options to save samples, discard unsaved changes, validate measurements, approve/unapprove samples, and edit notes.
All of these toolbar icons can be disabled via properties on the component. Causes are collected with sample data.
The ability to save samples using the user property without requiring a user session.

Batch Parameter Changed by
New 'Changed By' field was added to associate user actions with the parameter changes those actions cause. The Batch List, Message List, Batch Controller, Document Viewer, and Batch Monitor now have a 'user' field that can be bound to session properties to customize how the changed field is recorded. If the user field is blank the username of the currently logged-in user will be used.The following scripting functions now have an additional overload that lets you specify the changed by to associate with the action:
system.mes.batch.queue.setParameterValue
system.mes.batch.queue.executeEntryCommand
system.mes.batch.queue.setMode
system.mes.batch.queue.executeStep
system.mes.batch.queue.forceStepComplete
system.mes.batch.queue.executeStepCommand
system.mes.batch.queue.skipTransition
system.mes.batch.queue.syncPLIStepStateThe following scripting functions will use the existing AckBy on the message object instead of having a new parameter
system.mes.batch.queue.assignMessageValue
system.mes.batch.queue.acknowledgeMessageThe EBR Viewer has a new property, showChangedByColumn, to toggle if the Changed By field is visible. Changed By data is always returned in scripting, the Changed By data is only added to the dictionary if present for that parameter change.

Batch Parameter Rename Cascade

Renaming a parameter in the Recipe Editor will now update all references to that parameter automatically
Attempting to delete a parameter in the Recipe Editor will now show a confirmation dialog displaying a list of references if that parameter has been referenced in a Transition, Parameter Calculation, or Parameter Value for certain parameters such as "Parameter_Path" on the "Value Prompt" phase. All references will be listed in the dialog so users may easily identify and remove references as necessary. References will _not_ be automatically removed if the parameter is deleted.
Parameters with a Calculation Expression instead of a Parameter Value will now show the Calculation Expression in the Value column of the parameter list, prefixed with "[Calculation]:"
Users may now press the "Enter" key to submit changes on the Step Settings Dialog in the Batch Recipe Editor

Batch Phase Rename Cascade

Renaming a step in the Recipe Editor will now update all references to that step automatically
Deleting a step in the Recipe Editor will now show a confirmation dialog if that step has been referenced in a Transition, Parameter Calculation, or Parameter Value (for certain parameters like Parameter_Path on Value Prompt phase). All references will be listed in the dialog so users may easily identify and remove references as necessary.

SPC Sample Update Improvement

Additional Factor, Reference Number, and Product Code can be recorded when calling updateSample with valuesRecorded as False
Sample Product Codes stored in new table that associates sample UUID to product code to allow more differing product codes on samples recorded in the same second
