Materials Management is BIOVIA’s new cloud-based solution that enables you to capture, define, and locate any proprietary or commercially sourced chemical or biological material. Built on the powerful 3DEXPERIENCE platform, this new app provides seamless access to critical information for efficient materials management. Take a look at past blogs here and here to find out more about its capabilities and ability to capture a diverse range of entities including PROTACs and molecular glues.
Materials Management and other BIOVIA apps exist as convenient, modern web apps on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Interoperable and frequently updated they exploit the latest approaches and best practices available in the world of user assistance to help make usage as easy as possible.
Discover Dynamic “What’s New” Content
Gone are the days of static release notes! With Materials Management, you can now quickly see the new capabilities delivered in each release. Linked directly from the app home page, What’s New lets you very quickly get up to speed with the new features provided.
What’s New content for the Materials Management R2024x FD03 release, viewable as a set of interactive tiles.
Tiles, illustrated with an image or animated gif provide easy-to-digest highlights that explain the value of each new feature. For each one, you can click on the “Learn more” link to open a panel that provides more information about the new feature that you’re interested in, as well as a link to the detailed related topics in the Materials Management User’s Guide.

Context Sensitive Help
Have you ever wanted to see help information tailored to a specific operation?
In Materials Management, the User Assistance panel is context-sensitive, showing you the most relevant information for the operation you’re currently working on.
Are you creating a substance and you need to generate it from the BIOVIA Basics Substances list? No problem, simply click the help icon to bring up context-sensitive guidance that explains just how to do that.
Context-sensitive help (on the right) helps you with the task in hand.
If you keep the User Assistance panel open, the context-sensitive help guidance changes as you navigate through the app, so you can always see the content you need to help you accomplish the task in hand.
Role Cockpits
BIOVIA organizes apps into roles enabling you to execute and complete key business processes, such as formulation development. The Formulation Scientist role brings together apps such as Materials Management, Scientific Notebook, Laboratory Operations, and others, so that you can undertake formulation design studies, helping to evolve and respond to changing market needs. A key element of roles like Formulation Scientist is their Role Cockpit.
The Formulation Scientist role cockpit provides scientists with access to key apps and introductory information, to enable them to be productive within minutes.
This role cockpit is designed to provide everything that a formulation scientist needs to accomplish their daily work, out-of-the-box. It provides information on what the role enables along with introductory explanations on all its apps. What’s New information is provided for each app, particularly highlighting those whose key capabilities impact the role the most.
For the Formulation Scientist role, dedicated Design, Make, and Manage Materials tabs offer dashboard based, quick access to the key apps required to enable scientists to rapidly become productive with formulation development capabilities.
Through role cockpits such as this one, scientists can understand and become proficient with formula design within minutes!
Increase Productivity Faster
Courtesy of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, BIOVIA apps and roles embrace the latest approaches to user assistance to make it as easy as possible for you to accomplish your daily tasks!
