RBAC is improved.

All Core Breeding tools have an improved role-based access control (RBAC), where permissions are now defined up to the action-level. This means that your access to data browser action buttons, such as view (), update (), and delete (), are now defined by your profile’s roles and permissions set in the Core System domain. Kindly contact your EBS admin for any additional access you may need.

Bug fix

Your CB user profile now displays the role and organizational unit, following the format of Core System’s User Management tool.

[ADMIN] Breeding program data can now be managed in EBS.

The initial version of the BPM tool is now available for EBS administrators. This allows users to manage and connect experiments and germplasm to breeding pipelines taken from the CGIAR breeding portal. The BPM tool can be opened via the left navigation menu.

The tool’s initial version opens with the Experiments tab. This lists all experiments created in EBS, regardless of its status. This tab allows you to select one or more experiments whose pipeline data you wish to Update. You are then redirected to a page where you can:

1. view () basic information on the experiment

2. filter the data browser columns using the space just below the column names, and

3. specify the pipeline information you wish to assign. Take note that only the pipelines relevant to your crop and organization are available for selection.

4. Save any changes made and view the applied changes on the main browser.

[ADMIN] Germplasm coding is enabled.

This feature allows admins users to add other names to germplasm. These names can then be used to search for the germplasm record. To do this, look for germplasm record/s using the Search tab. On the search results data browser, select the record/s and click the germplasm tool (▼) icon on the toolbar. Choose Code Germplasm and choose either to code only the Selected records or All search results.

You are then redirected to the germplasm coding page, where you can select the coding option and define the pattern definition. The former allows you to choose from Free Text or Configured Code. Both options will require you to select the name type and name status. When using the Free Text option, the pattern definition panel allows you to create the format of your germplasm name, while the Configured Code lets you view the auto-generated format based on the crop.

Apply the code format and be redirected to the Coding tab, where you can view the progress of your coding transaction. Once it has the COding ready status, open () the transaction to review the changes and then Complete to finalize. You can expect the new germplasm name to be listed under Names when viewing () the details of a germplasm record.

Bug fix

You can now expect to encounter no errors when:

1. using the page navigation feature in the Coding tab and displaying accurate records in each page,

2. viewing supported wheat germplasm name types when coding using the free text option,

3. viewing the status of a coding transaction, such that the COMPLETED status is accurately reflected once the new germplasm names are processed, and

4. creating new germplasm records for forage crops via file upload.

Managing seed and package records is improved.

The following enhancements are featured for a better user experience:

1. Accurate attribute data. Seed and package attributes, such as moisture content and material transfer agreement (MTA), now display the correct and updated data.

2. Disabled text field. When using the Input List to search for records, the text field is disabled until you select the field type.

3. Add at most 40,000 items to a working list. A notification will be displayed to inform you once you reach this threshold.

Bug fixes

You can expect to encounter no errors when viewing moisture content (MC) data for records with such information. Additionally, the following tasks in the working list now proceed accordingly:

1. showing the correct number of added records,

2. viewing facility, sub-facility, and container data

3. using page navigation, and

4. filtering list items by column.

Regular users can now use the Update tab.

The following package data can now be updated by non-admin users in the Update tab:

1. package status,

2. package quantity,

3. package unit, and

4. facility.

This is done by downloading the prescribed Template for packages, which can either be a Template from List or a Blank Template. Take note that this feature is limited to updating package records that specific programs own. After supplying the required information, Upload the file and Validate. Once VALIDATED, open () the transaction to confirm the changes.

Bug fixes

Uploading and validating seed and package records using the soybean (SYB) program now proceed as expected.
