(ats4-dev06) building morphit binders within symyx notebook
DESCRIPTION
The release of the Accelrys Morphit Section for Symyx Notebook enables the use of Morphit Binders (multi-dimensional spreadsheets) within your ELN environment. This is a “how to” session on making a Morphit Binder available within Notebook, including mapping binder metadata to SN properties and mapping binder data/tables to SN properties to make this data available for searching and reporting within the Notebook.TRANSCRIPT
(ATS4-DEV06) Building Morphit Binders within Accelrys ELN
Mike Wilson
Advisory Product Manager
The information on the roadmap and future software development efforts are intended to outline general product direction and should not be relied on in making a purchasing decision.
Agenda
• What is the Morphit Section?
• Morphit integration with Accelrys ELN
• Demo: Connecting a Morphit binder to Accelrys ELN properties
What is Morphit?
A multi-dimensional spreadsheet that provides an flexible and robust analysis and templating environment
• Familiar
• Flexible templates
• Relational
• Change tracking
Morphit Terms and Definitions
• Design Mode: allows user to create Morphit binder
• Binder: a Morphit data file • Workbook: (multiple) held within a binder
– Sheet: like the classic MS Excel sheet, held in workbooks – Table: a spreadsheet page with an explicitly defined hierarchical structure
• Header: nameable headers of Fields are similar to the “Columns” of Excel
• Linking: matching values of the source Field can be accessed • Borrowing: take all the values from one Field and insert into
another Field in a new Table
• Morphit – Audit Trails – Authorisation (Author vs. User modes) – Morphit Render
• Mapping to PSD – Tables – Forms – Direct (document indexing)
• Content Management – Electronic signatures – Versioning – Printing, PDF output
Integration to Accelrys ELN
• All ELN users can view Morphit binder data
• An additional license is required to edit/create Morphit data
• Morphit binders can be connected to Acclerys ELN PSDs for indexing and reporting – Binder metadata – Binder table data
• Morphit binder is saved with the document
• Reporting – Template author selects Morphit
tables/worksheets that are available for reporting
Morphit ELN Section Overview
• Add Morphit section to Notebook Template
• Import Morphit binder into Morphit section
• Click Configure Section icon
• Select Notebook property sets that should be available to the binder for indexing
Setting up the Morphit binder
Morphit Section Configuration
• Mapping binder data/metadata to ELN properties
Demo
Mapping Notebook Sections
• The following Notebook sections can be mapped for data transfer with the Morphit section – Form sections with data of the following Notebook widget types:
• Checkbox • Combo Box • List Box • Textbox of the types Date, Integer, Real (Double), and Text (String)
– Table sections that are not of the “Master-Detail” type, which include: • Generic “Table” sections • Equipment sections • Any Materials sections that do not contain multiple sub-lots for a single material
• Mappings are between the property set definitions (PSDs) used by the Notebook section
to fields in a Morphit table – Supported property class types are String, Integer, Long Integer, Decimal, Double, Boolean,
DateTimeOffset, Value, Structure and MolecularFormula
Mapping Limitations
• A Morphit table may be mapped to only one Notebook section – Tip: Morphit linking and borrowing features can be used to bypass this limitation
• A Notebook section may be mapped to more than one Morphit tables
• Data mapping is unidirectional – a single Morphit field cannot receive from and return data to Notebook
• Sending data to Morphit – Data can only be sent to top level formula fields in a Morphit table – Tables containing top-level borrowed fields may not receive data from Notebook
• Returning data from Morphit
– Only indexable properties can be mapped – Only the following Morphit data types can be returned: Formula, Hyperlink, Drop Down, Check Box,
Date/Time
Mapping notes
• When mapping table sections to a Morphit table, hidden fields are used to track rows between the applications
– Thus, the application will be able to manage addition and removal of rows from either application
• When mapping a form section to a Morphit table, a single row is created in the Morphit table
– Any additional rows are deleted
Summary
• Morphit is a powerful templating and analysis tool. The Morphit Section brings that power to the Accelrys ELN and makes the data available via the ELN’s property system
