What's New

New and Fixed in Version 5.8.2 (2025-01-05)

• Reference Rows is rebranded as the Smart Data Integrator. You may see references to "the Integrator" and to "integrated rows".
• PharmaProjects: Added support for Drug Type.
• Ovid: Added new database segment labels for BIOSIS. Added two new columns: "Conference" and "Electronic Pub Date".
• Exports: Fixed layout of subtables in Word exports. Added a "BizInt Original" export style, which tries to reproduce the old export style.

Fixed in Version 5.8.1 (2024-08-06)

This is a minor bug fix release.

• Fix a problem where the software would lock up displaying some records from ClinicalTrials.gov
• Add a few field label variations for Beacon drug exports; adds a publisher URL to rows.

Introducing Version 5.8 (2024-06-19)

We are pleased to introduce Version 5.8 of the BizInt Smart Charts Drug Development Suite.

• ClinicalTrials.gov: Adds support for the JSON exports from the latest generation of ClinicalTrials.gov. This release (or later) will be required if you create reports from ClinicalTrials.gov after June 25, 2024, as NIH has announced the retirement of the classic system on that date.
• Normalized Trial Phase: There is now a Phase (Normalized) column available in all supported clinical trial databases, similar to the normalized phases available in drug pipeline databases.
• New chart creation workflow: You will no longer be asked for chart template during chart creation. By default, a standard "Editor's Choice" chart template is applied to all new charts during import. There is a default template for each chart type: Clinical Trials; Drug Pipelines; and Biomedical Literature.
• A new Manage Templates command (on the File menu) can be used to delete templates, rename templates, or set a template as the default for new charts.
• Learn about all of these changes on our Using Chart Templates support page.
• Reference Rows: Fixes an issue with row numbering when a chart with hidden rows is sent to Reference Rows.

New and Fixed in Version 5.7.4 (2024-06-10)

Does your IT department take a long time to approve and install software? We recommend that you wait for the 5.8 release on 19 June, with additional testing and features.

• ClinicalTrials.gov: Adds support for the JSON exports from the latest generation of ClinicalTrials.gov. This release or Version 5.8 will be required if you create reports from ClinicalTrials.gov after June 25, 2024, as NIH has announced the retirement of the classic system on that date.
• Exports: Options for Excel exports are now saved. The Chart Only export from Reference Rows now works correctly for Word and HTML exports.
• Reference Rows: Fixed a crash when trying to Apply Rules Template.

New and Fixed in Version 5.7.3 (2024-03-05)

This release offers a first look at enhancements to chart creation workflow and chart template capabilities in BizInt Smart Charts.

• New chart creation workflow: You will no longer be asked for chart template during chart creation. By default, a standard "Editor's Choice" chart template is applied to all new charts during import. There is a default template for each chart type: Clinical Trials; Drug Pipelines; and Biomedical Literature.
• A new Manage Templates command (on the File menu) can be used to delete templates, rename templates, or set a template as the default for new charts.
• Chart templates can be used for any chart with the same type of data, regardless of the chart the template was saved from. For example, a chart template created with Pharmaprojects can be applied to a chart created from Cortellis.
• Chart templates are now available in Reference Rows.
• Most of the old chart templates provided by BizInt are now hidden. You can see them by checking the "Show classic templates" box at the bottom of the dialog. If you find one of these templates to be exactly like you want, we suggest that you apply it to a chart and Save as template... with your own name.
• Cortellis: fixed a problem with loading EPhMRA codes in drug records.
