Personnel Info

The Protocol Application Form starts with the Personnel Info screen that is very similar to the page you completed during the creation process. You may now edit personnel associated with the protocol. There is one new addition to this page though - the Other Personnel header at the bottom of the page.

Under Other Personnel, you may add people who will be associated with the protocol, but who will not have access to edit the protocol. It also allows you to add individuals who do not have a SUNet ID.

Navigating through the protocol application is very similar to navigating through this tutorial. There are Next and Previous arrows at the top and bottom of each screen, and the left hand navigation column will allow you to jump to any screen in the form.

Species - An Introduction to Using Tables

Once you finish entering personnel, the next page is the Species section. This is the first place you will see a common element used frequently throughout the application. Tables are used to add information to the application where you may have more than one item requiring the same subset of questions be answered. In this case, you may have one or more species associated with your protocol. Tables allow you to add as many species as needed to the protocol. There is no limit on the number of species you may add to your protocol.

Adding, Editing, and Deleting From Tables

The Species page uses tables that allow you to add more than one of a type of item. For example, if your project includes two or more species, you would click add to add the details about the first species, then click Save. To add the second species, click Add again and enter the details for that grant in the popup. When you click Save again, it will list this second species underneath the first one.

Once an item has been added, you may access the popup again to edit the information by clicking the hyperlink in the table fo the item you wish to make changes. In this example, you would click "Duck, Domestic Anasplaytrhynchos" to update information about the ducks. Make any desired changes, then click the red Save button. The popup will disappear and the main screen will refresh and display the revised item.

To delete an item once it has been added to a table, click the check box in the left hand column, then click the red Delete button. A confirmation popup window will appear. If you are sure you want to delete the item from the table, click the Yes button. The popup box will disappear and the main screen will refresh and display the table without the item. Notice that the Duck in this example is greyed out and the deletion checkbox is not active. Items that are referenced later in the protocol (like in the Procedures section) are protected from deletion until all references to that species are removed. This protects you from accidentally deleting information you have already entered later in the protocol.

You will find tables like this elsewhere in the application. These same Add, Edit, and Delete functions work for each one.

The "Are You Using?" screen is next. Click the arrow to go on to the next section.
