Q2 2026 Product Update Webinar Recap: A Self-Contained Visualization Workspace and Registration Blueprints

CDD's Q2 2026 product update webinar covered two feature areas. The first turns Visualization into a self-contained analysis workspace, so you explore and reshape your data without rerunning searches or returning to the report table. The second introduces blueprints, a new way to register multiple scientific entity types inside a single vault under distinct naming schemes and metadata rules. Both updates address overhead that builds up when analysis and registration force you out of your primary data environment.

Visualization

Visualization now works as your primary space to explore and analyze datasets, rather than a step you reach after building a search report table. A new launch visualization button sits directly on the Explore Data tab, so you skip the report table when you want to.

What you can do inside the session:

• View dose-response plots and readout-level images directly in the visualization data table
• Page through multiple images for the same molecule using an image carousel
• Show dose-response plot legends, and hover over a legend row to highlight that curve in the table
• Enlarge a dose-response plot, then flag outliers, apply overrides, adjust curve fits, and edit plot settings through the familiar plot mini app
• Condense aggregated data such as IC50s and averages by condition using transpose protocol conditions, which creates one column per calculation and one column for the associated condition set

Add data without starting over:

• Use the plus icon to add new protocol data and new molecules into an existing session
• Select molecules by typing the registration system prefix, then choose a protocol from the protocols tab to bring in assay data
• This applies to sessions created from a vault search, not sessions created from a data file

Score and visualize your compounds:

• Build custom molecule optimization scores in real time by selecting parameters, setting interval values and weights, and calculating an arithmetic or geometric total score
• Rename and edit scores after calculation, with changes updating the data table column automatically
• Apply the score across all plots, including color-coding molecules by total score
• Display results in donut and radar charts

Control how data is aggregated and displayed:

• Choose aggregation by molecule (the default when launching from the report table), by batch, or none to plot individual replicate values
• Launch visualization directly from a query search, which brings all data into the tool and aggregates at the batch level by default
• Reorder columns in the data table from the parameters tab, which locks columns into the chosen position
• Copy a list of molecule IDs and molecule batch IDs for the compounds selected in your session

Registration Blueprints

Registration determines how your molecules, batches, and samples are identified, validated, and connected. Blueprints extend that foundation so a single vault can hold more than one type of scientific entity, each cleanly separated.

Two blueprint types are available:

• A basic blueprint gives you a single registration prefix, a fit for most teams
• A multi-entity blueprint adds one or more prefixes, each representing a distinct entity class such as small molecules, biologics, peptides, or mixtures

The result is one place to register, one place to search, and one place to report, regardless of how many entity types your team works with. IDs become cleaner because they tell you what you are looking at, and the registration architecture scales with your science.

How a blueprint is built:

• Vault administrators create blueprints from the settings section
• The molecule and batch field section holds a pool of metadata fields, built per entity type, that feed registration form creation
• The registration tab defines the two components of a blueprint: the registration system and the registration form

The registration system sets the naming scheme:

• Auto-generated IDs, where you provide a prefix and Vault numbers entities sequentially from your starting value
• Custom named IDs, where you supply the name that becomes the registration ID, useful for aliases or synonyms

The registration form defines the fields and rules:

• Choose the registration system, the type to register (structure, nucleic acid, amino acid, other, or mixture), and whether new molecules register under the form
• Drag metadata fields from the pool into the form at the molecule, batch, and sample level
• Set business rules per field, including required fields, default values, and locked defaults

Demonstrated end to end with custom monomers and siRNAs:

• Custom nucleic acid monomers register from an SDF using compose monomers from columns, which assigns each monomer its structure, leaving groups, and code
• Registered monomers then act as a dictionary for siRNA registration
• siRNAs register using compose macromolecules from columns with the siRNA strands option, which auto-recognizes sense and antisense strand columns
• Sequence metadata captures overhangs, strand breaks, hairpins, fully circular constructs, and chemical modifications
• Templates speed up column-to-field mapping when forms carry many fields
