Upcoming: UI Change on the Enter Recipe and Enter Measurements Pages

To simplify your workspace, we will be updating the Enter Recipe and Enter Measurements pages by removing several extraneous buttons that don’t fit into the main structure of the page and migrating their functionality into the File Menu button options.

On the Enter Recipe page, the following buttons will be removed:

  • Pin Row Header
  • Next Experiment
  • Previous Experiment
  • Solve Mode
  • Paste Options
  • Undo
Current Enter Recipe page UI, highlighting the buttons that are being deprecated

On the new Enter Recipe UI:

  • Undo and Solve Mode will be added to the Actions toolbar for all schemas.
  • Other functions are now accessible in the File Menu:
    • Pin Row Header: Found in View.
    • Next Experiment: Found in View > Experiments in View.
    • Previous Experiment: Found in View > Experiments in View.
    • Solve Mode: Found in View.
    • Paste Options: Found in Edit > Paste.

For easier access, you can add these options to the Actions toolbar via Configure Actions.

  1. Go to Configure Actions.
  2. Under “User,” select an action from the dropdown.
  3. Click the blue + icon to add.

For more information, refer to the Action buttons section on New Enter Recipe Page Layout. Reach out to your dedicated Uncountable representative to apply these changes across an entire material family.

By consolidating functionality on the Enter pages, we’re reducing visual clutter while retaining the flexibility to configure tools as needed. These updates are part of our ongoing efforts to create a more intuitive and user-friendly platform.


Upcoming: Update to Enter Recipe Status Banner

There will be a few upcoming modifications to the Enter Recipe page status banner.

Previously displayed at the top of the page, the banner can now be found at the bottom. Coming soon, this banner will also display totals for highlighted cells. When users select cells, their total value will appear in the banner, similar to Excel’s functionality.

New “Visualize Measurement” Shortcut on Enter Measurements

A new shortcut has been added to the Enter Measurements page, enabling users to create Explore Visualizations charts directly from numeric outputs, with conditions.

By accessing an output’s dropdown menu, navigating to the Display submenu, and choosing Visualize Measurement, you can now instantly generate bar charts with the following preset settings:

  • X-axis: Experiment names for all recipes in view.
  • Y-axis: The selected measurement, with conditions.
  • Filters: Recipes currently in view.

Similar to the Compare Curves or Compare Images shortcuts, this new option provides a quick and easy way for users to visualize numeric data without having to remember specific output conditions.
