Enhancements
This release of BIOVIA Compose and Capture includes the following enhancements.
| User Story | Description |
|---|---|
| CAPT-5481 | You now have support to execute tasks from the Samsung Galaxy Tab. |
| CAPT-6404 | In Form View, you can now abandon a step or sample and unabandon a sample. |
| CAPT-6436 | As an author, you can now define an activity to be initiated from Capture Hub steps so that analysts can create new tasks. |
| CAPT-7301 | As a reviewer, you can now apply "Not Valid" to filter the parameters and quickly see ones with validities other than "Valid". |
| CAPT-7495 | For process execution, the browser tab titles no longer state 'BIOVIA:' in the title, so there is more space to display relevant information. For example, the Task ID and the Task Name. |
| CAPT-7511 | When you collapse the filter tab in Review, the filter icons still display. |
| CAPT-7610 | When parsed and scaled from the values in the Study Workflow, the Formulation task amounts use the precision, format, and rounding rules defined in the Simple Batch activity. |
| CAPT-7946 | In the Review page, the filters have been reordered and categorized into two groups with labels: Label: Potential Exceptions * Abandoned * Confirm Override * Data Modification * Expired Material * Manual Override * Material Substitution * Observation Exists * Out of Limit * Procedure Modification Label: Normal Events * Calculate Value * Data Entry * Data Verification * Instrument Value * Linked Task * Manual Entry * Material Inventory * Protocol * Sample Property |

| CAPT-8726 | An Out of limits signature for Formulation tasks is only applied to the latest value, so intermediate measurements (as for multiple containers of the same material) do not trigger signature events. |
| CAPT-8903 | This feature allows you to more easily see and determine the start and stop of each step in the continuous grid. |
| PROP-10896 | All Compose reports now exist as Pipeline Pilot reports registered in Admin & Settings > Pipeline Pilot Protocols. This replaces the Compose Manage>Reports interface. |

This report MUST be run before the 2024 SP1 upgrade, and appropriate action must be taken to preserve any non-migrating recipes that are important to an organization. |
| PROP-11953 | The Recipe Comparison, IOQ, and Approval reports now include linked activities. |
| PROP-12030 | When you clone a procedure activity associated with a Classic Capture recipe, a new execution recipe is created with the same method ID + [1]. |

| CAPT-8468 | The Session Information section in Review now displays an 'Initiated Tasks' field, which shows all the tasks an analyst started in the current execution. |

| CAPT-8536 | Whenever you update the related values in the Parameters card, the material amount's values update in the grid. |
| CAPT-8702 | Executed tasks are now linkable to a previously run task in your collaborative space, independent of who ran that task.

| PROP-10721 | Recipes that have General and GxP workflows will be migrated to Compose Hub in this release, but will be switched to the Activity Driven Workflow (ADW). Only ADW is supported going forward. |
| CAPT-8559 | You can now track the review status of Related and Initiated tasks together (Combined Review), so you do not miss tasks that require review. |
| CAPT-8560 | In the Review's "Related Tasks" section, you can now select and release multiple tasks with a single signature. |
| CAPT-9359 | For any metrology verification related to a task under review, any manual edits to that verification event that generate a logbook entry prevents the automated release process from proceeding. The failure notification message reads: 'The most recent metrology verification event has been manually modified. Equipment: [barcode]. |
| PROP-11075 | The data for recipes in Compose is migrated into Foundation with the upgrade to 2024 SP1. The structure of the data does not change, and the methods themselves do not change. |
| CAPT-8556 | When you execute a Formulation task, it displays in a continuous grid rather than as multiple, individual steps so that you can read all the phases and steps. |
Fixed Defects
This release of BIOVIA Compose and Capture includes the following fixed defects.
| Defect | Description |
|---|---|
| CAPT-8712 | If the inventory does not find the material name, the user interface now attempts to register it a second time (with "searchSynonym=true"), instead of showing the first error then stopping. |
| CAPT-9187 | For data acquisition tasks only, the existing data fields are ignored so that, as an analyst, you can pull reference ontology entries from an activity parameter. This is an updates CAPT-8678. |

| CAPT-7758 | During a new session, the recalculated planned value on an instrument-collected parameter still causes Classic Capture to also recollect the actual value with the previous value and prompt for any necessary signatures. The parameter's 'Last Updated' field in Review changes. The 'Full Name' field changes if a different user clicked "Done". However, the "How" and "Barcode" fields now point to the relevant equipment. |
| CAPT-7824 | To provide you with multiple measurements for the same equipment, the endpoint now returns an equipment logbook that is unique by measurement, and not by equipment. |

| CAPT-8288 | The Equipment and Manual Entry icons display when you use Manual Entry to collect equipment-mapped parameter values using File, Direct, and Not Connected equipment instances. The Manual override icon is displayed for all except for the Not Connect type equipment value collection. The How is "Manual Entry" and the supporting data link is "View" which navigates to the Equipment logbook entry as expected from Review for all the equipment instances. |

| PROP-11246 | If you remove a recipe material or a material from a process step, all mappings to that material are consistently removed. This includes multiple material mappings on or across recipe steps. |
| PROP-11261 | When you map to equipment with an unmatching unit type, the user interface no longer freezes or becomes unusable. The mapping is highlighted, which indicates the incompatible parameter unit type. |
| PROP-11273 | The user interface no longer freezes when mapping an Equipment mapping parameter that uses the default unit. |

| CAPT-8160 | The Admin Guide was updated with the following note: "The Synonym name cannot contain a pipe | character—for example, My|Basic|Material. When scanning the material barcode during recipe execution, a Synonym name containing a pipe character causes an error in matching the material name in CISPro inventory." |
