  15. Chapter 3: Administrative DataFunctional Outline of the Administrative DataTab You can perform Administrator specific tasks using the Administrative Data tab. For example, setting up new user accounts, creating collection protocols, setting up storage hierarchy, and so on. The adjacent diagram outlines the actions you can perform using the Administrative Data tab. • Actions • Add or Approve Users • Add or Edit Sites • Add or Edit Institutions • Add or Edit Departments • Add or Edit Storage Types • Add or Edit Storage Containers • Add or Edit Collection Protocols • Add or Edit Distribution Protocols

  16. Chapter 3: Administrative DataCollection Protocols A Collection Protocol contains a set of guidelines that describes what, how, and when the biospecimens are to be collected. The following diagram outlines the caTissue Core Collection Protocol structure:

  17. Chapter 3: Administrative DataStorage Containers A Storage Container represents a physically discrete repository that is used to store specimens, specimen arrays, or other containers. Storage Containers examples include: -80º C freezer, liquid nitrogen freezer, -20º C freezer, 4º C freezer, and so on. The following workflow outlines the steps involved in creating a Storage Container:

  18. Chapter 3: Administrative DataStorage Container Map The Storage Container hierarchy is viewed using the map feature. The following diagram outlines the Storage Container hierarchy:

  19. Chapter 4: Biospecimen Data In this topic, you will be introduced to: • The functional outline of the Biospecimen Data tab • The Collection Protocol based view • The biospecimen data workflows

  20. Chapter 4: Biospecimen Data Functional Outline of the Biospecimen DataTab • You can perform Supervisor and Technician specific activities using the • Biospecimen Data tab. This tab allows: • Supervisors to register participants to Collection Protocols • Technicians to perform steps associated with biospecimen management and accessioning • The following diagram outlines the actions performed using the Biospecimen • Data tab. • Actions • Add or Edit Participants • Register Participants • Add Specimen Collection Groups • Add Specimens • Derive and Aliquot Specimens • Add Event to Specimens • Distribute Specimens and Specimen • Arrays

  21. Chapter 4: Biospecimen DataCollection Protocol Based View • It is convenient to add biospecimen data using the Collection Protocol • based view, also known as the CP based view. The CP based view: • Displays hierarchical information of the participant and biospecimen • Allows free-flowing navigation • Provides visual clues while performing complex workflows within a tissue bank

  22. Chapter 4: Biospecimen DataBiospecimen Data Workflows The following diagrams outlines a high level overview of the various workflows performed using the Biospecimen Data tab of the caTissue Core application:

  23. Chapter 5: Query In this topic, you will be introduced to: • The functional outline of the Search tab • The overview of the Query functionality • A simple query • An advanced query • The actions you can perform post display of results like defining a view, exporting data to Excel, and so on

  24. Chapter 5: QueryFunctional Outline of the Search Tab The Query tab is primarily meant for Scientists to search specimens of interest. Using the Query feature, a user enters the query parameters and the system returns a matching result set. The following diagram outlines the actions that are performed using the Search tab: • Actions • Simple Search • Advanced Search • Shopping Cart • Export Results
