Enhancements

This release of BIOVIA Foundation includes the following enhancements.

User Story

Description

DAT-13756

New Foundation Hub switch now makes it possible to access Task Plans owned by others.

DAT-18108

The "Retest Task" dialog was updated to auto-select only the samples with a validity tag of Abandoned and Invalid.

DAT-22884

A Sample Plan now supports setting a default value for the “Label Template” property.

DAT-23121

When executing a draft Sample Plan, the user can now omit Activities and their associated samples.

DAT-23373

Across Foundation Hub, the grids were updated to version 26 of AG GRID.

DAT-23380

The Description column was added to the Foundation Hub Admin & Settings > Activity Grid.

DAT-23435

A display issue in the Sample Plan history page was corrected so the page now reflects the changes made.

DAT-23589

System now keeps the Specification link when swapping Activities in the Sample Plan detail page.

SEC-8240

Foundation Hub and Integration Gateway now run successfully when the certificate and private key are provided in a PFX/PKCS12 file.

SEC-8447

Configuration migrations now generate an MD5 digest when content is exported from an environment. It is possible to configure Foundation Hub to require digest verification when importing content into an environment.

SEC-8554

Class reading measurements created by the integration gateway now include the command that was executed to create them.

SEC-8559

Extended properties can now have an associated parameter template. Compose uses this parameter template when an extended property is imported to a recipe as a Compose parameter.

SEC-8654

A specific parameter template is now set by default for the purpose of authors mapping a given inventory property to a parameter in a Compose recipe.  

SEC-8674

Added client gateway IP address and host name logging to the server and client gateway logs.

SEC-8715

When Foundation Hub is configured to require digest verification, the administrator must supply the digest value when uploading a file during a migration. The system verifies the digest against the provided file and rejects the upload if the verification fails.

SEC-8726

Foundation Hub application settings were enhanced to support different default values for new installs vs. upgrades.

DAT-23262

Added Sequence Activities to enable splitting the Analytical Method so groups of steps can be defined in different Activities. This enables the Lab Analyst to control how the method will be executed.

DAT-23263

Executing a Sequence Activity Task opens a method setup dialog. The dialog is used by the Lab Analyst to control how the method will be executed.

DAT-23281

An Activity Plan now opens to a new Characteristic view. The user can toggle between this view and the original Activities view.

DAT-23292

Task grids have been updated to include a side-panel, which enables the system to display more data without the need to scroll. As a result of this work, the Default view was revised.

DAT-23591

Primary and Regional specification links added to Activity Plans of type = Material Specification.

DAT-23612

Requestor’s Sequence Activity Task will be updated with the sample results when the Lab Analyst’s Test Method is set to completed/released.

DAT-24016

BIOVIA Compendia generic activities were installed along with the associated parameter templates.

SEC-7072

Measurements created from the class reading model can be mapped to samples via the data preview page in the same manner as those created from the data packet model.

SEC-8002

Data acquisition for procedure tasks supports measurements both from data packet and class reading models.

SEC-8167

The integration gateway CSV processor now supports the original Foundation Hub CSV parser file layout as an additional layout for CSV files. Please see the BIOVIA Foundation Hub Equipment Guide for more information about this layout.

SEC-8524

All manageable server gateway configuration settings are now administered on the Server Gateway page in the Foundation Hub Admin & Settings application.

SEC-8525

All manageable client gateway configuration settings are now administered on the Client Gateways page in the Foundation Hub Admin & Settings application.

SEC-8589

A new application setting "Enable upgrade of new measurements to use class readings" was added. The setting defaults to "yes" for new installations and "no" for upgrades. When enabled, Foundation Hub automatically generates class reading measurements from new data packet measurements when the data packet is configured with class reading links, and a class reading command is configured for the equipment class.

Fixed Defects

This release of BIOVIA Foundation includes the following fixed defects.

Defect

Description

DAT-23883

Corrected a problem that prevented the saving of sample edits when working in the Workbook Task Plan section.

DAT-23614

A Sample Plan refreshes the Activity grid so the user sees the newly added activity and recent changes to requested group and sample size.

DAT-23730

Addressed who can execute an In Progress Task.

DAT-23749

Prevented the action bar from disappearing when a modal PLP Protocol loses focus.

DAT-23827

Activities with long names (>90 characters) can now be reopened for edit and cloned. Child activities can also be successfully created. The name of the new activity will be truncated to fit within the 100 character limit.

DAT-24072

To enable test automation, the Sample Plan grids were updated to use class super-editor-cell.

DAT-24277

Task Plan has been corrected to save Sample ID changes made in the Retest Task.

DAT-24407

Data acquisition tasks & Procedure steps with Manual Data Entry equipment type/class now correctly show the MDE equipment in the data preview equipment selector.

SEC-8123

Fixed an issue where the measurement "Record Date" is incorrect for file-based or CDS-based measurements. The fix applies to new measurements coming into the system. For measurements created prior to the fix, the 'Date Created' can be used as to find the correct date/time the measurement was taken.

SEC-8504

Capture no longer reports a "no executable commands defined" error when executing a data acquisition task that uses TCP equipment configured for class reading commands.

SEC-8744

The Samples "Print Label" button now correctly reports the result of the print job. Previously, the print job would report a failure even though it succeeded.

SEC-8751

Corrected a problem that impacted migration in rare circumstances:

1.       Data already exists on the target system (e.g. Signature Policy - A).

2.       Import data with the same name (unique key), but different UUID.

DAT-23935

The Cost Center hyperlink in the Task Plan Info Card has been fixed.

DAT-23992

An error message is no longer displayed when a material is imported but there is a case difference in the barcode value (ex: uppercase vs lowercase).
