Defining Tables and Fields<br />

How tables are arranged, depends on the data and<br />

the desired result. Typically, raw data values are<br />

found in a table at the lowest level. It might be<br />

helpful to make a sketch of the table structure ahead<br />

of time. For more information about tables and the<br />

general table structure in BioAssay, please see<br />

“Primary Tables” on page 109.<br />

Any number of tables can be defined. If a table's<br />

data depends on the data in another table, the<br />

dependent table must be higher in the structure<br />

than the other table. The table structure will be<br />

defined most efficiently by, defining the lowest level<br />

table first, and working up to the highest level table.<br />

There are protocol templates that will help you to<br />

get your protocol started. Please see “Designing a<br />

New Protocol” on page 111 for more information.<br />

To start defining tables:<br />

1. Open the protocol and click on the Definition<br />

tab.<br />

The Protocol Definition appears in the right<br />

frame.<br />

NOTE: After importing data, the user will be limited to<br />

adding new fields and adjusting calculation definitions.<br />

Defining a Primary Protocol Table<br />

If you have used a template, or if you have started<br />

with a duplicate protocol, your table may already<br />

exist.<br />

Depending upon the template chosen, the<br />

contents of the frame will differ.<br />

2. Perform the appropriate action:<br />

If you would like<br />

to...<br />

Then...<br />

Rename the table or<br />

edit the table<br />

comments<br />

Add a parent table<br />

Click on the table and<br />

edit the fields in the<br />

far right frame.<br />

Right-click on the<br />

table name and select<br />

Create parent table<br />
