Fixed in Version 1.0.1 (2012-02-04)

Introducing Version 1.0 (2011-12-21)
- The BizInt Solutions team is proud to announce the release of BizInt Smart Charts Reference Rows Version 1.0.
- If you installed the Alpha or Beta versions of Reference Rows, we strongly suggest that you UNINSTALL the Alpha or Beta before installing version 1.0.
- Instructions on how to use BizInt Smart Charts Reference Rows can be found on our website.
- Features in BizInt Smart Charts Reference Rows 1.0
- BizInt Smart Charts Reference Rows™ offers the ability to create a "reference row" — a single row combining information from different sources. Related source records representing the same drug, patent family, or clinical trial – based on the same Common Drug Name, Common Patent Family, or Common Trial Identifier – are presented in a single row.
- The Create Reference Rows wizard guides you through the process of reviewing your Database Ranking, creating Column Rules, and applying and saving Rules Templates.
- The Database Ranking determines how data is selected for a reference row. You can change the database ranking and (with the Properties button) define the database label in your exported report.
- You can specify Column Rules for each column. Current rules are: Use Database Ranking, Earliest Date, Latest Date, Most Content (characters or lines), Highest Development Phase, Most Recently Updated, Match Column, Highest Number, Lowest Number, Closest to Zero.
- The review chart lets you lets you preview and customize your exported Reference Rows report. Green check marks show which cells were selected by the database ranking and column rules to appear in the exported report. You can also override the rules; manually selected cells are indicated by a purple checkmark.
- Sorting in Reference Rows will sort the report based on the selected value for each reference row.
- You can save the review chart as a .chrr file and re-open it in Reference Rows with all of your rules, edits, and selections saved. If you open the .chrr file in Version 3.4 (releases dated 12/21/2011 or later), the rows will be in the sorted order but no Reference Rows features will be available or saved.
- You can view reference rows and distribute reports via one the export formats -- HTML, Word, or the XML Smart Data Exchange Format. Export options are to include all, none, or the first record. You can specify if links to records on the publisher website are included.
- Rules Templates allow you to save your database ranking and column rules so that you can quickly apply them to a new Reference Rows report. Rules templates are saved as .DRUG (drug pipeline), .TRIAL (clinical trials) or .PATS (patents) files in the “rules” directory in your roaming profile.
New and Fixed in Beta #3 (2011-12-15)
- Update color coding now appears in Reference Rows charts (controlled on the View menu).
- A "Database" column is created when Reference Rows are created, if the chart is just from a single source.
- Reference Rows now saves charts with a file extension that is different from the main application: CHRR.
- You can now change the attribution code used for each database in the exports. This feature is behind the Properties button on the Database Ranking panel.
- New icons on the toolbar, updated application icons and selection checks.
Fixed in Beta #2.1 (2011-12-01)
- Fixed a problem with building Reference Rows from charts containing user-added rows.
- Fixed a number of problems when charts with Reference Rows are edited in BizInt Smart Charts.
New in Beta #2 (2011-10-09)
- Added the ability to save Reference Rows chart files, including rules and user-selected cells. You can open the saved Reference Row chart in BizInt Smart Charts for Drug Pipelines, for Patents, or Viewer, but if you edit the chart the Reference Rows information will be lost.
New and Fixed in Beta #1 (2011-09-18)
- Rules templates were not being saved with the correct file extension. This has been fixed.
Introducing Beta #1 (2011-09-12)
- New wizard and interface for creating Reference Rows, database rankings, and rules.
- Ability to save and load Rules Templates so you don't have to re-create your rules for each chart.
- Ability to specify a database ranking for each column.
- Export options for including records and an HTML for Word option.
New and Fixed in Alpha #7 (2011-09-11)

Announcing Reference Rows Alpha #6 (2011-09-06)
- This release includes a revised interface for creating and modifying Reference Rows in a chart.
- This release is intended for documentation and testing only.
New and Fixed in Alpha #5 (2011-07-28)
- Adds the ability to save and load "Rules Templates" so that you don't have to re-create your rules selections with every chart.
- Adds the ability to specify a database ranking for each column on its own.
- Database Ranking is now a separate menu item, rather than being buried in the "Row Scoring" rule.
- In the HTML export, the table header now scrolls with the rows of the table, so that you can always see the column names.
- General cleanup of terminology, user interface, and bug fixing.
