Clicking this option opens a dialog that is prepopulated with the user’s email address if one is available. If an email address is not available, this field is blank and must be populated with a properly formatted email address to enable the Submit button. Clicking the Cancel button closes the window with no changes. Clicking the Submit button submits the patent for a prior art search.

If this option is selected, when viewing the Motif search results, the biosequences returned for each of the various permutations of the Motif query are combined into a single result set.

Saved Items and Alerts Update

Upon viewing a result set, the Save button language has been updated. When an alert is able to be set for the current results, the Save button will now be labeled Save And Alerts.

Additionally, the save and alerts dropdown has been replaced by a popup window. Within the window, the mechanism for setting an alert frequency has been changed from tiles to radio buttons. The Save button will not be enabled until a name is provided in the Name field.
