Enhancements

This release of BIOVIA Workbook includes the following enhancements.

User Story

Description

NBK-34311

The Audit history CSV export now includes the Timestamp GMT column and the value of Timestamp column correctly displays the local timestamp.

NBK-34626

Workbook reports can be configured to include embedded files as a link that will open the file in its native format.

NBK-34794

The BIOVIA Workbook installation instructions now include a step to rename or delete a folder (c:\ProgramData\Symyx Technologies\Temp) to prevent performance issues during the installation.

NBK-34888

Administrators can now configure a feature that will alert users if they are adding a file to a file section with the same name as a file already present in the experiment. This is an optional feature; customers may choose not to configure this warning, in which case the system will allow addition of a file with a duplicate file name with no warning to the user.

NBK-34910

A new user permission has been added to the application to improve the performance of uploading Excel files to a file section. The user can now choose from the following three options: 1) Preview First Sheet b) Preview All Sheets c) Select Sheets to Preview. If one of the first two options is configured, the user will not have to wait for the system to compile the list of spreadsheet tabs before generating the preview. The preview will automatically generate asynchronously so that the user can work on other parts of the experiment while the file is being uploaded. The third option will generate the list of spreadsheet tabs before preview generation as the software worked previously.

NBK-33645

Workbook can now be configured to filter disposed containers from CISPro resolver lookup.

NBK-34408

Workbook reports are now generated more quickly.

NBK-34641

The Vault Server system requirements now reflect the accurate ports for load balancing environments.
