2. Content
• How to take advantage of the new capability to clone
experiments to the latest template version
• Template maintenance and configuration
• Demonstration and walk through of the AELN 6.8 clone
functionality

3. Parent Template is treated as a
Standard Operating Procedure
and kept fully intact
• Value: Enable users to take advantage of
new features when cloning
– Pre-6.8: Cloned documents are exact copies
of the source experiments
– 6.8: Cloned documents are based on the
newest version of the Document Template
• Each section in the new document pulls data
from the corresponding section (matched by
title and type) in the Source Experiment
• How to configure Clone-to-Latest:
– It is necessary to upgrade the Parent
Template to Version 6.8 Sections
– Alternatively, older templates can be mapped
to new 6.8 templates

4. • Pre-6.8 clone behavior is configured by default
• If Clone to the Latest Version of the Template is desired:
– The Notebook application config file has a setting that will
enable the new cloning behavior and disable pre-6.8 cloning
<appSettings>
<add key="EnableCloneToLatest" value=“true" />
</appSettings>
• Can be distributed via a new Notebook profile
Clone Behavior Controlled via Application Config

5. • To access the 6.8 fixes and features in a cloned
experiment it is necessary to update the Experiment
Template:
– Check out the experiment template
– Update all document sections with 6.8 sections
– Configure the new sections: scripts, mapping, toolbars,
conditional formatting, etc.
– Update the set of insertable sections to the 6.8 versions
– Delete sections if appropriate
Template Upgrade Maintenance

6. Alternatively, Map older Template Versions
 From the open 6.8 template,
select ‘Map Templates for
Cloning…’
 List of available templates is
displayed
 Templates that are already
mapped to another
template are highlighted
and unavailable for mapping
to the open template

7. DemoAELN 6.8: Configuration of Clone to Latest

8. • The new document contains
– Sections that are in both the Source Experiment and the Parent Template matched by
Name and section type
– Unmatched sections that are in either the Source Experiment or the Parent Template
– Inserted sections from the Source Experiment
– Set of insertable sections from the Parent Template
• If the source experiment has inserted sections or a section that’s not in the
parent template then Notebook will clone the section using the pre-6.8 cloning
behavior
– Creates a copy of the section as the original version
• Parallel Chemistry
– Library data (Discrete Reactants, Enumerated Products, Plate Layout, and Reaction List
sections) is not cloned
– Generic Reaction Transform Options are not included
Final Points of Interest

9. • AELN 6.8 includes new capabilities that enable re-use of
existing documents with newly released functionality
• Needs to be enabled, including template upgrade
maintenance
