Associating Procedure to Personnel:

 

 The system provides a parameter PROCEDURE_VIEW_MODE within System Admin page that allows implementing institutions to allow the association of procedures to personnel to be at a Species Level OR at a Species/Group level.

 

For e.g. Consider the scenario that surgery needs to be performed on 30 count of the species “Alkali Fly”.  The researcher might create two experimental groups to handle variation in process/procedure on subsets of the same species. They can create Group B to handle 20 count of the species “Alkali Fly” and Group C to handle 10 count of the species “Alkali Fly”. The parameter PROCEDURE_VIEW_MODE gives implementing institutions the flexibility of associating personnel to the entire species “Alkali Fly” OR to associate personnel to the different experimental groups for the species “Alkali Fly”

 

Ø With the PROCEDURE_VIEW_MODE set to “S”, the personnel can be associated to the procedure only at the species level. With this parameter value setting, if the personnel are going to be performing surgery on only a subset of the species Alkali Fly, that distinction cannot be shown since the personnel can be associated only at a species level.

 

 

Ø With the PROCEDURE_VIEW_MODE set to “G”, the personnel can be associated to the procedure at the group/species level. With this parameter value setting, if the personnel is performing surgery only on 20 count of the species Alkali Fly that are part of Group B, and the personnel is not involved in any procedures to be performed on 10 count of the species Alkali Fly that are part of Group C, that distinction can be show by checking only on Group B – Alkali Fly - Survival and not checking Group C – Alkali Fly – Survival.

 

 

The researcher can associate a species and the procedure to be performed on it, to the person by checking the box beside the procedure. Click within the checkbox to select the item.  A check mark appears within the checkbox to indicate the item is selected.  Click within the checkbox again to clear the mark and deselect the item.

 

In addition, a text box is also provided to enter relevant qualifications for a person to indicate how and why the person is qualified to perform a procedure. Information entered within the Qualifications text box in the pop-up window will be displayed in the “Qualifications” column within the Personnel tab within Procedures.

 Click within the checkbox for “ALL PROCEDURES” to automatically select all procedures.
