Mixit Updates | Formula Search Enhancement & Upcoming Instrument Manager Update
- Last week there was an update based on formula search enhancement:
• When a user selects a ColorBuildPlus color and navigates to a formula page, the ColorBuildPlus product line is automatically selected. This means there is no longer a need to push an extra button to select the CBP product line on the formula page.
• Additionally, when Autowave MM is the default and AW2.0NA is also selected, if a color doesn’t have a formula in AWMM, the system will pull from AW2.0NA. The logic works based on the default product line and its brand. Here when AWMM has no formula then it will check for the next selected product (i.e. AW2.0NA) within the Brand (Sikkens) so it will pick up the formula for AW2.0NA if available. If both doesn’t have a formula then check for other Brand/ product selected in the account.
- Also, we want to inform you about an upcoming Instrument Manager update. Next week, on the 24th Tuesday through the 25th Wednesday the update will be rolled out.
Reason for the IM update:
• Mettler and PMA Evolution scales will now connect only to the COM port selected by the user. IM will no longer attempt to auto-connect to other COM ports.
• IM will no longer freeze when a scale is connected or when a COM port is selected.
