EBS Demo env't header (2).gif

The EBS domain’s landing page displays the version of the software available to users. This is also visible in the left navigation menu. Each version may highlight new key features, improvements, bug fixes, or all three. You may refer to the log below for more information in each version.


2024 Quarter 4

RBAC is enhanced.

Role-based access control (RBAC) ensures that only the user profiles with the appropriate access and permissions can use specific features in EBS. In this update, users whose profiles have no defined access to any CB tools will not be able to log in to the CB domain. RBAC is configured using the tools in the Core System domain. Kindly contact your data manager should you require additional permissions.


Bug fix

Reported issues on RBAC for the following tools and functionalities have been fixed:

  • Experiment Creation: Copy Experiment,

  • Inventory Manager: Seed Transfer,

  • Harvest Manager: Harvest Data, and

  • Trait Search: Left Navigation Menu.

Bug fix

You can now expect that the seed order is preserved when adding the items to the working list.

[ADMIN] Data filter display is improved.

This tool allows users to manage and connect experiments and germplasm to breeding pipelines of the CGIAR breeding portal. When users apply dashboard data filters, this tool correctly applies such without displaying it on the BPM data browser filters.

[ADMIN] Germplasm coding is improved.

This feature allows admins users to add other names to germplasm, which can then be used to search for the germplasm record. The following improvements are implemented:

  1. Generate germplasm names using the next applicable sequence number. When using the Free Text option, the system creates the new germplasm names using the next applicable sequence numbers. Before a user can complete the coding transaction, the system’s proposed germplasm names are displayed beside the user’s uploaded ones. This validation ensures that all germplasm names in EBS are unique.

  2. View error logs. Transactions with the status validation failed will now have an error log icon enabled. This allows users to view what went wrong during data validation and revise as necessary.


Bug fix

The bugs causing errors in some processes are now rectified. You can now proceed to successfully complete the coding transaction so that the status is now set to COMPLETED.

Bug fixes

Non-admin users can now proceed to update package data without errors in access.
