Helpful Tips:

  • To prevent data loss, turn off all sleep and hibernation settings for the hard disk, the CPU, and the USB ports
  • Disable automatic Windows Updates
  • Update Windows manually when the instrument isn’t being used by the software; these options can be enabled in Windows Control Panel

Note: Installing and using the SoftMax Pro Software on the Windows XP operating system is no longer supported. The software is neither tested nor validated on Windows XP.

Windows Active Directory

User administration in a Windows Active Directory or via the GxP Admin software simplifies defining password criteria, reset and change periods, and reduces the amount of IT support.

Improved auto-save functionality

New documents must be saved before they can be modified and documents are automatically saved before and after a read to prevent the loss of data.

Improved signing process

Users can only sign a single pre- and post-release statement per document contributing to data integrity.

Projects feature

Project teams can be created where users can be assigned to different projects with different roles but can’t have different roles in the same project.

Roles and permissions

Permissions are defined on a per role basis and assigned accordingly to users within projects to maintain a structured system. Three predefined roles—Scientist, Lab Manager, Lab Technician—accommodate the document release workflow, allowing first-time users to get started quickly.

Auto-export function

Data can be exported to a location outside the database and various file formats are available to support the import into other applications such as LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) or SDMS (Scientific Data Management System). XML is supported for data export and auto export.
