EXPERIMENT TYPES
An integral part of the breeding process is planning and creating experiments. The Experiment Creation tool is a set of sub-tools that help you organize experiment plans, outline field management details, and identify the tasks conducted within a certain season.
In the EBS, there are five experiment types: Breeding trials, Intentional Crossing Nursery, Generation Nursery, Cross Parent Nursery, and Observation. Let’s get started by navigating to the Experiment Creation tool.
Getting started
From the dashboard, open the left navigation panel by clicking ☰ Show left nav found on Top menu. You may also use the shortcut Alt + L.
Once the left navigation panel is open, click the first option - Experiment Creation.
Great job! You can now see and use the Experiment Creation tool. You will be greeted with a table that will reflect any experiments that have been created.
Create experiment
Create your first experiment by clicking Create on the upper right of the data browser. You can then choose which experiment type you will create.
Manage experiments
While creating your experiments, you can manage your experiments by viewing the experiment information, editing it, deleting a draft experiment, and copying a created experiment.
View experiment
Click the View Experiment button beside one of the experiments.
In the modal window under the selected experiment name, you will see the Basic tab that contains all the experiment information, the Entry tab that has the list of entries added to the experiment, and the Occurrences tab that has the list of occurrences created under the experiment.
You may click the OK button once you’re done viewing the experiment.
Edit experiment
To go back to creating your experiment after leaving it for a short period or to update it before completing its creation, click the Update Experiment icon.
Delete draft experiment
To remove a draft experiment, click the Delete Experiment icon.
Copy a created experiment
If you have a created or planted experiment that you want to reuse its information for future experiments, you may do so by copying an experiment.
Locate the experiment that you want to copy and click the Copy Experiment icon.
The modal window will let you select the tabs with the information that you want to copy. Tick the checkboxes to select them. Once done, click Preview.
Depending on the selection, the system will automatically select the other tabs for copying. For example, after selecting Site, the system will also select Entry List and Design tabs. The Basic tab is a default selection when copying the experiment.
A separate window will open to let you review the selected tabs with the information before copying the experiment. Once satisfied, click Copy Experiment.
After that, you will be brought back to the Experiment Creation browser, and the experiment will be copied in the background. Click the Notifications icon to check if the process is successful. Once done, you may edit the experiment by clicking the Edit Experiment icon.
