Enhancements
This release of BIOVIA Foundation includes the following enhancements.
User Story | Description |
DAT-21497 | A new Pipeline Pilot configuration option was added that allows a BIOVIA Services developer to validate a task before executing in Capture. |
DAT-21983 | On the 3DS Platform, the ‘Home’ icon on the Foundation Hub landing page was redesigned to conform to Platform UI standards. |
DAT-22185 | Foundation Hub language files have been updated for Korean, Japanese, and French. |
DAT-23971 | When defining samples in a Sample Plan, it is now possible to set a ‘Sample Type’ value. |
DAT-23972 | Sample Plans have a new default configuration mode that creates a ‘Task per Activity’. |
DAT-24183 | The data that is displayed in the side-panel on the Tasks grid has been redesigned. |
DAT-24439 | The Foundation Hub landing page was redesigned to align with the behavior of the 3DS Platform apps. |
DAT-24512 | Added the required foundational work needed to apply licensing control to Configured Workflows. |
DAT-24524 | Added a configuration option that manages the displaying of "Create Child Activity" and "Re-version Child Activity" buttons in the Activity page. |
SEC-8244 | Sample labels can now be printed to a customer's enterprise label printing system via file-based integration. Label printing data files can be delivered to pre-defined locations on the customer's network. These files can be picked up by the customer's enterprise label printing system where they can be printed to designated printers using customer-defined label formats. |
SEC-8756 | Added optimizations to message queue archiving: completed messages are archived immediately and messages are no longer retried when the message failed because the host was down (hosts are expected to re-load latest data on startup). |
SEC-8894 | Protocols may be registered in Hub during installation or upgrade. These protocols may not be associated to a specific Pipeline Pilot installation. Hub will attempt to run these protocols on a Pipeline Pilot associated with the Data Center or an empty location. If those criteria are not met, it will run on the first available Pipeline Pilot server. If no Pipeline Pilot servers are defined an error will be returned. |
SEC-8960 | 3DEXPERIENCE Cloud customers: platform administrators can now manage Hub permission assignments in Foundation Hum Admin & Settings. Permissions can be assigned to roles. |
SEC-8965 | Added a configuration setting that allows connections to direct connect equipment only when the equipment is configured to use the integration gateway. This setting applies to ScienceCloud and 3DEXPERIENCE Cloud deployments. |
DAT-23541 | Re-implemented the Task predecessor to enable setting more than one predecessor task. This change impacts how the system links Retest Task, Review Task, Split Task, and Tasks in a Sequence Activity. |
DAT-21419 | The Foundation Hub system navigation was streamlined. Its functionality is now consolidated into a menu that is accessible by clicking the BIOVIA icon on any page in the application. |
DAT-22442 | The properties "Quality Attribute" and "Analysis" have been added to activities, which enhance the display of these properties in the Activity, Activity Plan, Sample Plan, and Task Plan UIs. |
DAT-23605 | A new Configured Workflow widget was added to the Foundation Hub landing page for managing the formulation and batch release workflows. |
DAT-23606 | The Design section of the Configured Workflows defines the specifications, materials, and make simple batch activity. |
DAT-23607 | The Configured Workflow’s Execution section displays the selected characteristics and associated limits, enables data-entry of sample results, and entry of a conclusion. |
DAT-23609 | An Enumerate button was added to Configured Workflows which transitions the lifecycle to _In Progress,_ and creates the material and 'make task' for each candidate. |
DAT-24040 | Foundation Hub Activity and Compose now use the same vocabulary controlled Category property. |
DAT-24131 | Expanded the sequence activity execution dialog so that the system can create a Sample from a scanned Container. |
DAT-24139 | Samples 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-24190 | The BIOVIA Services developer can now open the All Samples widget to a specific sample ID. |
DAT-24199 | Pipeline Pilot protocols can be used to extend functionality of the ‘Configured Workflow’ detail page. |
DAT-24556 | A new Foundation Hub operating mode was added for the ‘Use Latest Activity’ flag that only accounts for newer approved child activity versions. |
DAT-24616 | A stylesheet was applied to Configured Workflows that more closely resembles what is seen in 3DS Platform apps. |
DAT-24644 | Added ‘Configured Workflows’ to support Formulation and Quality Control Batch Release. |
SEC-8245 | The sample label printing dialog now supports integration with customer enterprise label printing systems in addition to directly connected label printers. |
SEC-8949 | SQS adapter commands support a new optional property: retrieveHeaders. When included, the retrieveHeaders will be passed through to the GET operation that retrieves the input files. |

SEC-8357 | Unscheduled maintenance events now record the person who made the entry. In the Logbook, the User and Username columns display the person selected as the "Last Technician" in the maintenance event. A new "Created By" column displays the person who made the changes on the metrology page. |
SEC-8937 | Capture can now acquire data from a RapidLab 1200 series blood gas analyzer via push or pull commands. Previously the push command resulted in an error. |

DAT-24284 | As a result of adding an interactive Retest dialog, the system now disables the Retest button when multiple tasks are selected. |
DAT-24296 | The “Sampling Plan Step” property was removed from the Sample grid, which was inadvertently exposed in the previous release. |
DAT-24341 | The Foundation Hub switch "Prohibit Task Plan from moving to another Collaborative Space = Yes" now supports moving activities between collaborative spaces. |

DAT-25192 | Corrected a PLP Protocol configuration issue with displaying the Toolbar Button Label text. |
DAT-25226 | The Foundation Hub Administration Guide has been updated to explain that when configuring sequence activities, the "Use Latest Activity" setting in the Collaborative Space overrides any edits the user makes to the "Use Latest Activity" task setting in the Sequence tab. |
DAT-25279 | Corrected an issue with importing a task with the option "Transition samples to received" checked. |
SEC-8562 | Empower Add-In: The text "cf." prepended to custom field names that duplicate an existing Empower field name no longer causes an error in the Empower Add-In. |
SEC-8604 | The "Open Expire Interval" column on the Materials tab of Task Planner is no longer displayed as editable. This field cannot be edited on this tab. |
