My Project Files: Substances
The new projects feature in CAS SciFinderⁿ has been extended to support substances as well as references. Now, users can add substances of interest to their projects for further evaluation, organization, and sharing with colleagues.
From a substance result set, users can select an individual substance or multiple selected substance results to add to projects.
Similarly, substances can be added to projects from the detail page.
The project details will show both references and substances, when present, on separate tabs for easy review.
Search IPC
Users now have the ability to search patents by IPC (International Patent Classification) codes in order to identify patents belonging to defined categories. This allows a broader search within an area of science without requiring key words or concepts.
To perform an IPC code search, select Patent Identifier from a references advanced search menu, and then select IPC Code from the submenu.
IPC code searches are performed for all members of a patent family, as shown in the IPC Data section of a reference detail page.
Sync Download Detailed History with Delete History
Enhancements were made to the mechanisms to delete search history events to ensure they are kept synchronized with the detailed task history download feature.
Search history events are now deleted using a time-based mechanism. To initiate a delete, click the trash can (Delete) icon on the Your Search History page.
Once the Delete icon is clicked, a pop-up window opens for the user to choose a timeframe for deleting search history events.
Any items deleted from the chosen timeframe will similarly be omitted from detailed task history downloads.

A new filter by LogP option is available on substance results.
