Enhancements
This release of BIOVIA Notebook 2022 SP1 includes the following enhancements:
User Story | Description |
CELN-10335 | The ElnDirectorySyncService can now be configured to read the domain name of Active Directory users and groups from an Active Directory property other than the default "domainDNS". |
CELN-11969 | Molecular biologists now can add and edit sequences in Notebook. |
CELN-12136 | A Notebook administrator can now manage experiment types in the web client. |
CELN-12187 | Users can now save experiments as Word documents on macOS. |
CELN-12303 | A new optional column, Co-Signer, is available in all experiment views in library and search results pages. |
CELN-12306 | Users can now search experiments using any word or sentence from HTML, text, FASTA, or other files uploaded in a biological sequence. |
CELN-12319 | Enhancements have been made to the Body Text section. The user can now add nested tables; toggle table captions from the table toolbar; toggle image captions from the image toolbar; link images from the image toolbar; add inline images from the image toolbar; and make use of better pasting from Google sheets. |
CELN-12475 | Users can now download lookup type values in Excel format. |
CELN-12477 | Groups with longer double-byte characters (typical in Asian implementations) are synchronized between Active Directory and elnadminweb, and display correctly. |
CELN-12482 | The audit log for privilege changes to lookup types is now recorded in the securityauditlog table. |
CELN-12486 | Automatic account lock-out after too many failed login attempts is now enabled for database-native accounts created when Notebook is installed. |
CELN-12491 | The ElnService/SystemSettings.xml file of a new Notebook installation now contains a template for configuring the "FileUploadForbiddenPatterns" setting. |
CELN-12498 | ChemDraw 21 is now supported on Windows. |
CELN-12499 | ChemDraw 21 is now supported on macOS. |
CELN-12514 | In Chemical Reaction sections, the user can now add solvent amounts using units of mass instead of volume. The solvent calculation model (Volume/Density or Mass/Density) is configurable in the user's Chemistry settings, along with the default solvent mass unit. The solvent mass unit for an individual Chemical Reaction section is configurable in the Chemical Reaction section's properties. |
CELN-12520 | Molecular biologists now can add SnapGene 6 files to a SnapGene Collection section, and edit them in the third-party SnapGene application on Windows. |
CELN-12526 | Startup messages are now written to server application logs, regardless of the configured log level. |
CELN-12575 | In the Permissions panel of the Lookups Administration page, user names and user display names are shown. |
CELN-12618 | Improvements have been made to the user experience when the user logs in to the web client while the Notebook API is starting up on the server. |
CELN-12627 | On the Notebook Home page, the user can now refresh reminder lists immediately by clicking the Home button. On Notebook Library pages, the user can refresh cached query results immediately by clicking the "Refresh" tool. |
CELN-12673 | When text copied from a Body Text section is pasted into Notepad, line feeds are retained. |
CELN-4485 | A sample collection "Create experiment and sections" has been added to the sample tutorials of the Notebook API Reference Guide. |
CELN-12389 | Optional configuration instructions have been moved from the Installation Guide to a new Configuration Guide. This is intended to make the installation procedure easier to follow, and configuration tasks easier to locate. |
CELN-12401 | ElnDirectorySyncService now verifies the data received from Active Directory, to prevent deactivation or deletion of Notebook users when data received from Active Directory is incomplete or non-existent. This has a known side effect: ElnDirectorySyncService does not delete Notebook groups and users when the Active Directory is changed, or ElnDirectorySyncService settings are changed, so that no groups to synchronize are found in the Active Directory. |
CELN-12755 | When an experiment or a template is exported as a Word document, attached files are exported with exactly the same file name as that shown in the Notebook web client and in PDF renditions, except where the file name is too long, in which case it is truncated. |
CELN-6593 | The use of Entity Framework by the Notebook REST API has been re-implemented for improved stability. |
CELN-10335 | The ElnDirectorySyncService can now be configured to read the domain name of Active Directory users and groups from an Active Directory property other than the default "domainDNS". |
CELN-11969 | Molecular biologists now can add and edit sequences in Notebook. |
CELN-12136 | A Notebook administrator can now manage experiment types in the web client. |
CELN-12187 | Users can now save experiments as Word documents on macOS. |
CELN-12303 | A new optional column, Co-Signer, is available in all experiment views in library and search results pages. |
CELN-12306 | Users can now search experiments using any word or sentence from HTML, text, FASTA, or other files uploaded in a biological sequence. |
CELN-12319 | Enhancements have been made to the Body Text section. The user can now add nested tables; toggle table captions from the table toolbar; toggle image captions from the image toolbar; link images from the image toolbar; add inline images from the image toolbar; and make use of better pasting from Google sheets. |
CELN-12475 | Users can now download lookup type values in Excel format. |
CELN-12477 | Groups with longer double-byte characters (typical in Asian implementations) are synchronized between Active Directory and elnadminweb, and display correctly. |
CELN-12482 | The audit log for privilege changes to lookup types is now recorded in the securityauditlog table. |
CELN-12486 | Automatic account lock-out after too many failed login attempts is now enabled for database-native accounts created when Notebook is installed. |
Fixed Defects
This release of BIOVIA Notebook 2022 SP1 includes the following fixed defects:
Defect | Description |
CELN-12668 | Spurious characters are no longer displayed in lookup Description values that contain Japanese text. |

CELN-12808 | Enhancements are made to the ELNADMINCREATELOOKUPADMIN privilege on SQL Server during upgrade. |
CELN-12810 | The Windows Desktop Connector now uses the Java instance bundled with MarvinSketch, providing improved compatibility with MarvinSketch 21 and later. |
CELN-5841 | During upgrade, obsolete files are cleaned up more thoroughly than previously, to avoid application launch issues. |
CELN-8020 | Notebook SQL Server now shows a more readable error message in the Extract_DB_Exception_ID function. |
