Mbook includes important column configuration capabilities in the stoichiometric table. The user can:
•Choose between equivalents and mol% (default value: equivalents) for relevant columns.
•Display a column to select the Limiting Reagent.
•Remove the Concentration, Volume, Density, and Purity columns.
•Show the CAS Number of each compound.
•Add customized text columns.
The Compound, Molecular Weight, Weight, Moles, and Yield columns will always be shown in the stoichiometric table. If no configuration is performed, the column structure will be the identical to those in previous Mbook versions.
Column configuration can be completed via the Group Manager, each Project Manager, or each experiment's owner:
•If the Group Manager defines the column setup in the stoichiometric table for the entire Group; this configuration will apply to all the Group's projects.
•If a Project Manager defines the column setup of the stoichiometric table for a project, this configuration will apply to every subproject and experiment.
•If no column configuration has been completed by the Group Manager or the Project Manager, chemists can define the column setup of the stoichiometric table for their own experiments.
Column configuration will also apply to experiment reports.
Column configuration by the Experiment owner
Users can define the column setup of the stoichiometric table in their own experiments just by clicking on the Configuration icon, as shown below.
This will invoke the “Configure columns” pop-up window:
There are three types of available columns:
•Fixed columns that cannot be removed from the stoichiometric table (Compound, Molecular Weight, Weight, Moles, and Yield).
•Default columns that will initially be shown in the stoichiometric table but that can be removed by the user at any time (Equiv, Concentration, Volume, Density, and Purity).
•New columns that are not shown in the stoichiometric table by default but can be displayed by the user at any time (Limiting Reagent and CAS Number).
Users can also add their own custom columns to the stoichiometric table by clicking on the Plus icon (see picture above), specifying a name for each column header and ticking each column's checkbox. Custom columns can be removed at any time by clicking on the Delete (X) icon (see picture above). Finally, the column setup that a user defines for a particular experiment can be extended to every user's experiment in the current reaction or project or even to all the experiments owned by the user.
Column configuration by the Group Manager or the Project Manager
To open the column configuration section, the Group Manager and the Project Manager should navigate, respectively, to the Group's management panel or to the project's management panel, and then click on the icon below.
The following window will show up.
By clicking on the “Stoichiometric table” tab, the Group Manager and the Project Manager are able to define the column setup of the stoichiometric table for all the Group's or all the project's experiments, respectively. This column configuration section behaves the same way as the “Configure columns” window (see, above, “Column configuration by the experiment owner”).
