- Reduce the time required for product support by those who must provide it to users at their organizations
Enhanced results analysis:

- Group related author/inventor names and company names for better analysis and visualization results using the Data Group Tool within the Analyze Plus Wizard
- Analyze and tabulate data from single- or multi-file search results, and create a data table and 3-D chart using the Analyze Wizard
- Save an answer set from databases such as CAplusSM, PCTFULL, and USPATFULL with the Save for STN AnaVist Wizard, and then import and open it with STN AnaVist interactive analysis and visualization software
- New! - Display documents from STN AnaVist with the Display Answers from STN AnaVist Wizard
- New! - Retrieve full-text patent documents and send them to STN Viewer for management and in-depth evaluation
- New! - Create a fully-functional L-number from a saved STN AnaVist answer set

Easier access to content:
- Create an interactive spreadsheet from all or only hit CAS Registry Numbers and their corresponding CAS Roles through the CAS Registry Number and Role Report Wizard
- Upload lengthy genetic sequences automatically for searching in DGENE, PCTGEN, and USGENE via the Upload Query Wizard
Improved post-processing:
- Merge family members into a single row in the Table Tool, allowing the specified number of Patent/Priority/Application Numbers (if selected) to appear listed in the same cell for records with more than one Patent, Priority, or Application entry
