What's New

We are delighted to release our new version of Signals, 26.2. This release brings enhancements in Synergy, Chemistry, Materials, Inventor, SAR and Data Workflows amongst others. We have extended the grid view to the Chemical Reactions smartfolder, we have also provided a warning if users are using an outdated experiment template. We have new beta capabilities around Native Analytics and providing graphs in tables. The beta capabilities around Hierarchical tables, the Configuration Report, the updated admin experience for tables, and the View Published Data in Material libraries are now available to all systems. Finally, we have also fixed a number of small bugs.

We also fixed several small bugs in this release. Details of the enhancements are described below.

Administrators should be aware that we are planning to retire most of the In Vivo Apps from the Signals One App Store in Spotfire. Specifically the following Apps will no longer be available: Study Designer, Dose Preparation, Baseline Capture, Sequence Of Events, Sequence File Generator, Mass Spec, Dose Verification, Business Rules, and Data Model Designer. The PK Parameters App continue to be supported and will remain in the Signals App in Spotfire in Signals One. We encourage any customers who require assistance with this transition to contact our support organization and/or engage with our Professional Services team. This change is anticipated to happen in our next release, 26.3.

Administrators should be aware that we will be retiring the CRAIS Checker capability from Signals Notebook and Signals One. This capability, which was only available via request, was built to allow integration specifically to the Patcore CRAIS Checker database. Such workflows have been superseded by the Chemical "External Checking" capability which can be used against any chemical compliance database. Any customers still using the CRAIS checker are encouraged to update their workflows to use this capability instead. We encourage any customers who require assistance with this transition to contact our support organization and/or engage with our Professional Services team. The CRAIS Checker capability will be retired by March 31st 2026.

Data Factory administrators should note that the Publication Unique ID and Parent Publication Unique ID generation in the Publish Results to Data Factory app has been updated for robustness and now includes DateTime and the originating Experiment Name.

Data Factory administrators should be aware that the behavior of System Generated IDs has been updated. File-based publications no longer support System Generated IDs.

Data Factory Administrators should note that legacy Data Factory projects will be fully deprecated in a future release. A straightforward migration path will be provided in an upcoming release to support this transition.

Data Factory administrators should also note that the Advanced Security policies in Inventa apply an "AND" logic across all user groups, restricting access if any groups lack permissions. This behavior differs from the standard Signals security model and will be fixed to align with the standard in a future release.

Data Factory administrators should note that POST /api/v2/projects/{projectId}/results/{resultSchemaId}/rows is deprecated. Instead, supply a Unique Result ID and use PUT /api/v2/projects/{projectId}/results/{resultSchemaId}/rows/{rowId}
