This lists all closed single-occurrence analysis (SOA) requests that you can select. The data browser also shows the job IDs for each analyzed trait. To proceed with the MOA request, you need to choose the same trait from at least two (2) different occurrences for analysis. Doing so enables the Next button. Options tab. This allows you to extract the BLUEs and Analysis Metrics in a CSV format. In this version, downloading BLUPs is disabled. Click Submit to begin downloading the zip file containing the metrics and predictions files on your device. 23.10 ARM2.mp4
Management of single-occurrence analysis (SOA) requests is improved.This version improves user experience in terms of managing jobs in SOA requests. The following enhancements are discussed below. View job IDs. From the ARM data browser, open a SOA request by clicking the view () icon. On the List of Jobs table, job IDs are now assigned for each analysis job for easier identification. The job ID is a system-generated code consisting of the prefix 'J', followed by a sequence number. Image AddedRestricted access to and jobs. When you choose to Void a job in a SOA request, the system will now disable access to it. Also, the system disables all buttons for Finalized jobs, except for the filter button (). These prevent further changes to data. 23.10 ARM1.mp4
Bug fixesReported issues have been fixed. The following are now working as expected: In the Experiment tab, the Select All button is automatically unchecked when you unselect at least one (1) occurrence, Requests with >15 jobs are now processed successfully, and The request status is correctly displayed when all the jobs have a status of either or .

Updated trait data can now be loaded.A new Check for Updates button is featured in the Trait Table. This allows you to work on the latest version of your trait data, which the system gets from the Core Breeding domain. After clicking the button, you will be informed if the trait data you are working on is still Up To Date. Otherwise, the button will prompt you to Update Transaction. The consistency of trait data in the Stats and Trait Tables will be further improved in the coming versions. 23.10 PDM3.mp4
Management of trait data was improved.Suppress values in the Box Plot tab. You can now define the values to suppress as trait data is visualized in a box plot graph. Select a trait and then Generate the box plot graph. The new Suppress Outliers section will be displayed, where you can define the a) upper bound and b) lower bound trait outlier values to suppress. The former suppresses all possible outliers for that trait that is greater than or equal to the identified value, while the latter suppresses all possible outliers for that trait that is less than or equal to the provided value. Click Suppress to apply the changes to the box plot graph and to the Trait Table. 23.10 PDM1.mp4Reflect quality-checked (QCed) columns.
