Composing & Editing Protocols
After logging in and selecting a startup option from the Startup Page, you are ready to begin composing a new protocol from a copy of the old or from scratch using a blank protocol.
The first screen after logging on contains six start up options. If you are want to start with a blank protocol, click on you Blank Protocol and you will go directly to the main page of the Composer, called the "Edit Protocol Page." When this page comes up, a Protocol Description Window automatically pops up to underscore the importance of documenting your protocol. If you prefer this window not to pop up automatically when you come on the Edit Protocol Page, you can click the check box that hides this window until you manually bring it up in the top menu.
If you are starting with an existing protocol for a template, you first go to the library list that you requested (personal, general, or typical designs) or a list produced by a search. In this list, click on the title of the desired protocol.
Clicking on a protocol listing in a library will bring up a menu of user actions available to you for that protocol. The full access list of options contains "Run, Edit, Edit Copy, Users, Results, Backup, and Delete."
If you select the Edit or Edit Copy option, that will take you to the Edit Protocol Page, where you are ready to begin to compose or edit your protocol. A typical Edit Protocol page looks like this:
