Companion to the 2011 BCBC Investigator Retreat workshop

Last revision: May 6, 2011 by Thomas Houfek
Contact us with any comments, suggestions, or corrections for this tutorial.

Things you should know after attending this workshop:

1. First, that we are always happy to help you. You should not hesitate to contact us if you have any difficulty with the site.
2. Tutorials are available which cover virtually everything the workshop covers, and in greater detail, at http://www.betacell.org/content/tutorial/.
3. Your PI may need to appoint Delegates. For this workshop, we have created a clone of the website in which all Lab Workspace members have been elevated to Delegate status. You will not have this status on the real website unless your PI gives it to you. You should make your PI aware that they should give a lab member Delegate status, if:
   • They want the lab member to be able to specify co-contributors for Resources the lab annotates.
   • They want the lab member to be able to extend privileges on Resources to another Workspace via a share.
   • They want the lab member to receive email notifications from the Resource Request System.
4. The Resource Wizard is used to annotate all Resource Types except Functional Genomics Studies, and that to contribute these studies you must contact the Genomics team for assistance.
5. You should know how to start annotating a Resource using the Resource Wizard. You should know how to use the Resource Wizard to enter the kinds of annotations that apply to all Resource Types: Publications, Contacts, and Repositories. You should know how to use the Resource Wizard to specify co-contributors for a Resource; to review its annotations; and how to contribute it to the BCBC Resource Collections.
6. You should know how to create Resource shares, and that other members of a Project Workspace can only view your lab Resources if the Resources are shared with that workspace.
7. You should know how to manage your Lab's Inventory (how to create and edit Inventory Items for Resources you have contributed or co-contributed.) You should know how to know when your lab has oustanding Resource Requests, and how to respond to those Requests.
8. You should know the difference between being a co-contributor, having a share, and having a filled Resource Request. (These are all different ways of extending privileges on a Resource to users outside your Lab Workspace.)
9. You should know how to associate your lab's Resources with your lab's assigned Deliverables.
