CDD Vault Update (August 2023 #2): Wrapping Column Headers, New ELN Tools, API Endpoint for Collections

Wrapping Column Headers in Search Results Table

Column headers at the top of the Search Results Table are now wrapped to ensure all text is visible without needing to hover over the text with the mouse.

New ELN Tools for the ELN Canvas

There is now a new “Additional Tools” drop-down menu in the ELN header toolbar. The tools available in this drop-down menu include Subscript, Superscript, Strikethrough and a new Horizontal Line.

The new Horizontal Line tool allows users to add lines across their ELN canvas, which is useful for clearly organizing information in an ELN Entry.

Additional colors are now available in the ELN Font Color tool.

New API Endpoint for Handling Collections

A new API endpoint is available for Collections.

• GET collections
  • Return a list of Collections or see the list of Molecules in a specific Collection

• POST collections
  • Create a new Collection or overwrite an existing one

• PUT collections
  • Add molecules to a Collection

• DELETE collections
  • Delete a Collection

Please see the knowledge base (KB) article for examples and more information.

Helpful Hint: There is no mechanism for removing a Molecule from an existing Collection via the API. The workflow to achieve this would be to:

1. retrieve the MoleculeIDs in a current Collection,
2. delete the existing Collection, and
3. create a new Collection leaving out the Molecule ID(s) you wish to remove.
