    Notifications after Knowledge Base update

    Notifications column shows the number of substances - system updates - in a user-defined category that were Added/Deleted/Modified during the latest Knowledge Base update.

    You can review and accept each user-defined category one by one selecting Edit in the User-defined category list.

    When the Knowledge Base is updated all unaccepted notifications will become automatically accepted.

    You should review and accept each user-defined category - that has system updates - one by one selecting Edit in the User-defined categories table.

    In the following example the user-defined categories were created with Knowledge Base v17.10.04.3 and the Knowledge Base was updated recently to v18.07.11.0:

    images/download/attachments/1805537/udcategoryeditor-list-notifications.png

    Reviewing ( Edit ) the SwissEF user-defined category and applying the System updates filters (Added/Modified/Deleted/Not changed) in the above example, 20 substances were deleted, 38 substances were added and 2 substances were modified between the October 04, 2017 and the July 11, 2018 Knowledge Base.

    • Modified substance gets automatically selected at the Knowledge Base update - even if that substance was deselected in the user-defined category.
    images/download/attachments/1805537/udcategoryeditort-modified.png

    Modified category of a substance results in Add/Delete, i.e. 2 system updates.

    Checking against user-defined categories



    Because Single check or File check can only be run against countries or category groups, a user-defined category group should be created that contains your user-defined category.

    After that you can run the check against that category group.

    Extensions tab


    Create category


    In this section, you have the ability to establish custom rules for use during checking. These rules, either individually or collectively, constitute a category.

    To initiate a new category, select the Create new category option. Enter the name for this new category and click Add to display the new row. Proceed to fill in the provided fields, ensuring to complete those marked as mandatory. Choose your preferred method of search from the available options in the dropdown menu. Please note that in case of exact search no chemical queries (Markush structure, query bond and properties) are accepted. After completing the fields, finalize the process by selecting Done. You may then continue to enhance the category with additional elements, or finalize it by choosing Save.

    The newly created category will be displayed, marked as 'New'. The indexing of these type of categories starts from 200,000.

    To incorporate it into the knowledge base, click Apply.

    From your newly added extension categories now you can create your user-defined category group against which the check can be performed.

    You can manage your existing categories by editing or deleting them. The Edit option includes the ability to modify, add, or remove specific rules within a category. It's important to note that if you alter a category and apply these changes, all category groups that include the modified category will also be updated automatically, without any additional notification.
