Only members of group "Administrator" have full access to the Configuration Tool.

Feature Access
Database connection Administrator
User Management Administrator, Team
General settings Administrator, Team
User defined settings Administrator, Team, Project, Guest
Change own password Administrator, Team, Project, Guest
Wrapper Configuration Administrator

Connection to DNA database

edit database connection

Only administrators are allowed to edit the database connection. The DNA Module can be used currently with MySQL only. Password of database user can be left empty if not assigned.

User Management

user management

Members of group "Administrator" and "Team" are allowed to add or delete users and to edit user details. Furthermore the tool gives an overview how many DNA and specimen records a individual user has created .

An user can not be deleted if he/her has created records! You should change his/her group membership instead.

Add new user

For creating a new user please select "Add User" (see screenshot). You have to enter the email address of the new user, his/her real and login name and define his/her group membership. After creating the user will receive an email with an automatically generated password. Please make sure you have define SMTP parameters first!

General Settings

general settings

Members of groups "Administrator" and "DNA Bank Management" define the following general settings:

  • Customer requests:
Feature Remarks
Price and currency of aliquots
Standard aliquot volume for shipping These settings will be displayed when entering new DNA data and requests, but changes can be made for individual DNA samples if needed.
  • Input & search:
Feature Remarks
Prefix DNA extraction number Please note, that you might add a space character after prefix if needed!
Backup aliquot made One of the standards of the DNA Bank Network partners is to make sure there is a copy of the samples. This can be the stock aliquot stored in a different freezer, ideally it should be a backup aliquot stored in a different institution. Please select this option only if you store a backup aliquot.
  • General - Please note that you should define these specific settings during First steps
Feature Remarks
Logo path You can add your own logo to be displayed at top right corner. Please enter image path from root, e.g. for YOUR_DNA_MODULE_FOLDER/images/logo.png type "images/logo.png"
SMTP path and port of your email server, please ask your administrator for help
Administrator email Enter email of local administrator that works as sender of any information or error reporting emails related to the DNA Module.

User defined Settings

user defined settings

All users can define the following settings:

  • Search for DNA samples:
    • Records per page (hitlist)
    • Sorting
  • Search for specimens (Specimen Tool):
    • Records per page (hitlist)
    • Sorting

Change Password

change password

Every user can change his/her password after first login. When creating a new user, a password will be generated automatically and will be send via email to the new user. The first user will be created during First steps.

Wrapper Configuration

The wrapper configuration is required for sharing DNA and specimen data with GBIF and the DNA Bank Network. If you don't want to share your data via these platforms you don't have to configure the wrapper.

The data architecture of the DNA Bank Network is based on the GBIF infrastructure. The basic principle of GBIF as well as of the DNA Bank Network is to record all data sets only once. Stored at only one place they can be used as a linked reference for different applications.

Since many institutions joined GBIF applying different database structures each, the installation of wrappers has become a standard to combine different sources and integrate data easily into networks. There are three main wrapper softwares available BioCASE, DiGIR and TAPIR. All of them use an xml schema for data transfer: BioCASE - ABCD, DiGIR and TAPIR - DarwinCore (DwC).

To transfer DNA data into the webportal of the DNA Bank Network a DNA extension for ABCD, called ABCDDNA has been developed. Thus BioCASE Provider Software is required. If your institution don't make use of BioCASe yet please follow the installation guide of BioCASe first. If your institition is using BioCASe already you can just add a further mapping. BioCASe can be used in parallel with other systems like DiGIR or TAPIR.
