sciNote 1.3.0
New features
Table math operations
Tables now support basic math operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) just like Excel spreadsheets do.
You can also use the functions listed below:
- SUM that adds together a supplied set of numbers and returns the sum of these values;
- AVERAGE that returns the arithmetic mean of a list of supplied numbers;
- MEDIAN that returns the statistical median (the middle value) of a list of supplied numbers;
- MAX that returns the largest value from a supplied set of numeric values;
- MIN that returns the smallest value from a supplied set of numeric values;
- SLOPE that calculates the slope of the linear regression line through a supplied set of x- and y- values;
- IF that tests a supplied condition and returns one result if the condition evaluates to TRUE, and another result if the condition evaluates to FALSE;
- SQRT that calculates the positive square root of a supplied number;
- POWER that calculates a given number, raised to a supplied power;
- LOG that calculates the logarithm of a given number, to a supplied base;
- LN that calculates the natural logarithm of a given number;
- LOG10 that calculates the base 10 logarithm of a given number.
Improvements
Extended length of text field
You can now write names of Experiments and Protocol steps with limitation of 255 characters and descriptions with 10,000 characters.
Redesigned Navigation pane
We have added the connecting line of Experiments in the Navigation pane, where you can expand or collapse the Experiments and get a better overview.
Reorder of Comments and Messages
The Comments section in Protocols steps and Results has been moved bellow the description (it’s not in a separate tab any more). Also the order of Messages in the Project and Task cards has been changed. The most recent Messages are now seen at the end of the correspondence.
Deleting Results
You can now delete Results. First you archive them, then you go to the Archive and delete them. This way you have a “safety net” against deleting Results by accident.
Info button
In the upper right corner of the Dashboard you can now access the Info button, where you can find links to support on how to use sciNote features (e.g., Tutorials, FAQ) or how to change your current sciNote Plan (e.g., Professional support and customization, Plans).
