Here we describe the fields of the experimental template for an animalsheetentry. This is to be used if other available templates do not fit your need, and you need to enter some additional information into the animal sheet. The crawler will transfer the information to the DB AnimalSheetEntry table, from where automated animalsheets will be created.
:::{note} Note about auto-created entries :class: dropdown Entries of this type will also be autocreated if you use templates such as waterdeprivation, behavior, surgery, perfusion. For those you do not need to create manual entries. :::
:::{note} Remember you could also use WeightCommander for more convenience. :::
- Any title is ok since it will be modified by the crawler.
- Any potential further notes
- Choose animal, needs to be in DB, if not.
- Check-date and time
- Weight in gram
- Person performing the check
- Procedure
- Water or food deprived
- Medication if any
- Housing
- Besondere Vorkommnise
- Weiterleben ?
- Water during training or supplemented
- Same for food
Now our new entry is in the list. To indicate that you finished entering the information about this entry, please lock the item. After the item awaits the crawler.
Crawler will check the entry for errors, if any it will leave a comment on the entry. If everything seems correct the Crawler will add the entry to the DB and modify the entry. todo CHECK WHAT CRALER WILL DO
You can use WeightCommander to modify the entry directly in DB. A modification message will be pushed to eLabFTW entry.
If you modify the entry directly in eLabFTW and would like this change to be transferred to DB and thus the animalsheet, change the status of the entry to 'Need to be redone'. This will indicate fo crawler to pull new infos and update the information in DB.
To sign an animal sheet entry with a legally binding signature, we use a timestamping service. To this end the information in the entry is hashed and send to a server which adds temporal hash. This can be used to prove, that the documented existed in this form at that timepoint.
:::{warning} There are no take backs. One cannot modify or delete a timestamped experiment. However, one can ammend the information in the entry and re-sign it. Sign entries only after checking those thoroughly. :::
After signing the entry, on the next run of the crawler the corresponding entry will be marked as signed, with info by whom and a link to this entry in eLabFTW. See AnimalSheets
