JIRA	SUMMARY	DESCRIPTION	DETAILS
ORG-17657	Allow importing data directly into embedded matrix in worksheet when performing batch processing	Allow importing data directly into embedded matrix in worksheet during batch processing	If the embedded matrix exits in the analysis template, batch processing support importing data or image to the embeded matrix. Besides, drag and drop to import data or image to opened analysis template is also supported.
ORG-17656	Batch Plot dialog now combines options for Book, Sheet and Column into one dialog	Batch Plot dialog now combines options for Book, Sheet and Column into one dialog	Batch Plotting GUI Improvements Combine Batch Plot with Book, Sheet and Column into one dialog. There is Batch Plot with dropdown list on the top of the dialog. Matching conditions to filter book/sheet are moved on top of the book/sheet list. Batch plotting menus and toolbar buttons also combine into single button and menu.
ORG-16656	New App to distribute multiple files across multiple cores for faster Batch Processing	New App to distribute multiple files across multiple cores for faster Batch Processing	Select the Analyis Template and data files. Then specify how many cores to be used. The files will be distributed to multiple instances of Origin running on each core. App can be used to monitor progress. Once all tasks are finished, a consolidated summary report can be created with results from each core combined into one table.
ORG-17383	Save Batch Processing dialog settings into Analysis Template	Save Batch Processing dialog settings into Analysis Template	When using an Analysis template in Batch Process dialog, the batch processing dialog settings will be saved into the analysis template so that the next time this analysis template is loaded in Batch Process dialog, no need to set batch processing setting again. A system variable @bst is used to control the behavior. 0 : always no save settings; 1 (default): always save settings; -1: pop up msg to ask.
ORG-17526	Some rule changes to batch processing	Some rule changes to batch processing for no dialogue and no interaction,	We tend to have no dialogue, no interaction, in batch process. So the rule of batch process now becomes to: Before doing any batch process, user must make sure the input files format should be match with the last import settings in .ogw or filter in UFF. Last import setting must be used when check on "Use Import Setting in Workbook". filter file will be used when uncheck "Use Import Setting in Workbook". when filter is used, the proper filter should match: a. input file extension must be match with filters setting. b. filter file format must be match with last import settings in ogw. Once user make analysis template with import ASCII, that means the template is only used for ASCII file. If user want to it for other type file, they must import another file from MENU and save analysis template again.
ORG-15328	Support to add data from many sheets/books into a combined graph or an existing graph	Add data from many sheets/books into a combined graph or an existing graph	Add data from many different sheets/books into an existing graph E.g. After plotting a multiple panel graph with data in one worksheet/book, user wants to add data from other sheet/book to same graph. Add data from many sheets/books into a combined graph. After plotting a complicated graph with data in one book with several sheets, user wants to create a similar new graph with all data in another book with different number of sheets
APPS-373	Distributed Batch Processing	Batch processing with multiple Origin instances.	Download Distributed Batch Processing app from the page and install the app. This app is capable of batch processing with analysis template using multiple Origin instances in background. Click the app icon to bring up the dialog, then provide the desired settings, and then click the Run button to start the batch processing. Note: there is a sample project together with this app. You can open the sample folder by right clicking on the icon of this app, and then choose Show Samples Folder from the context menu. In this folder, you can use the provided template and follow the note to get how to use this app.
APPS-419	Toolbar Maker	Help to create simple and personal toolbar buttons that run script.	Download Toolbar Maker app from the page and install the app. Simply select an image for buttons, enter the tooltip, enter or copy-paste an existing LabTalk script, and click a button to generate a user-defined toolbar named Toolbar Maker.
