v3.1.1
minoreCTD v4.0 HTML Export
This version adds the ability to export eCTD v4.0 submissions as HTML. You can browse the CTD tree and its referenced documents using nothing but a web browser, even on a machine without Power Viewer installed.
It also adds the ability to save any on-screen grid as a CSV file.
New Features
Export eCTD v4.0 Submissions as HTML
From the menu in the v4.0 viewing window, select “HTML Export”, choose a destination folder, and start. Progress is shown while exporting, and you can cancel partway through. Once complete, “Open Folder” takes you straight to the output.
What Gets Exported
The destination folder is named <Application ID>_<timestamp> and contains the following set of files.
| File / Folder | Contents |
|---|---|
index.html | A list of all sequences with a document count summary |
current-<sequence number>.html | The Current tree for that sequence |
delta-<sequence number>.html | The Delta tree for that sequence |
files/ | The actual documents referenced by the tree |
The export covers not just the currently selected Submission Unit, but every sequence that has been loaded.
What You Can Do in the Exported HTML
- Switch sequences from the fixed bar at the top. If you’re viewing Delta when you switch, the sequence you switch to also opens on Delta
- Filter the tree by typing a keyword
- Expand all / collapse all nodes
- On green nodes (ContextGroup), open the Keywords list — the same information shown in the app when viewing on screen
Key Benefits
- You can share v4.0 submissions for review with people inside or outside your organization who don’t have Power Viewer installed
- Documents are bundled using the same folder structure as the viewer, so cross-references between submitted documents (relative links) inside PDFs and XML files keep working
Requirements
- This feature is available on Business plans only. On the Free plan, the button is disabled and the reason is shown
- Group policy’s “eCTD HTML Export” setting can restrict this to admins only (default: all users)
- Only applications you have download permission for are eligible
Please Note
- Because the export covers all sequences combined, the output can reach several gigabytes. Check the available space at the destination — the confirmation screen shows the number of sequences and documents before you start
- Documents that couldn’t be included, due to access restrictions or a retrieval failure, remain in the tree without a link, along with the reason. If even one document is missing, “This export is incomplete.” is shown at the top of
index.html. Do not treat a folder in this state as a complete copy of the submission
Save an On-Screen Grid as CSV
Right-click any grid (list view) and select “Export CSV” to save its current contents as a CSV file. This works on every grid in the app, from the administration screens to the detail panes in the eCTD viewing window.
- Exports the columns currently visible on screen, in their current order — including any reordering you’ve done by dragging column headers
- All rows are exported, including ones scrolled out of view
- The file format follows RFC 4180. Commas, quotes, and line breaks in values are escaped correctly
- The encoding is UTF-8 with a BOM, so it opens correctly in Excel
- The default file name is
<screen name>_<timestamp>.csv
Key Benefits
- You can bring list data into Excel for aggregation or record-keeping
Requirements
- Group policy’s “Grid CSV Export” setting can restrict this to admins only (default: all users)
- When restricted, the right-click menu item appears disabled with the reason shown
Administrator Settings
Two new items have been added to group policy’s functional restrictions. Both offer “All Users” or “Admin Only”, with “All Users” as the default.
| Setting | Controls |
|---|---|
| eCTD HTML Export | The eCTD v4.0 HTML export feature |
| Grid CSV Export | The on-screen grid CSV export feature |
Please Note
- You do not need to recreate your existing group policy file (
.pvaf). Files that don’t yet have these settings recorded fall back to the default (All Users) - Setting changes take effect without requiring users to sign in again
Bug Fixes
Fixed Cells Becoming Editable in Read-Only Lists
Fixed an issue where double-clicking a cell in certain read-only lists would put it into edit mode. These lists were always display-only, and no edited content was ever saved.
| Screen | Affected List |
|---|---|
| My Account | User groups |
| User Group | Member list |
| Submission Unit (v3.2.2 / v4.0) | Sequence folder paths |
| eCTD v4.0 Viewing Window (Japan) | Datasets tab |
