eLabFTW - FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about incorporating RDM best practices
Anyone with a TU Graz account (students, employees, external project staff).
The admin of the team has to contact the RDM Team(Alexander Bardel) and then the change to the team takes place.
We need to be sure that only authorised people are allowed to see the content of a team. Only the admin of the team can confirm this.
Yes, depending on the team, you can be either a regular user or a team admin..
For the text editor, you can agree in advance on a font color per user and thus keep track. A change tracking like Word is not possible at the moment. All other changes can be tracked via the changelog (depending on the minimum number of characters).
Not really, but you need a browser like Chrome or Firefox or similar and an active internet connection.
No, you do not have to be directly in the TU Graz network to use the e-lab notebook.
At TU Graz, eLabFTW is not a data repository for large amounts of data. The e-lab notebook is used to document all imaginable metadata that are part of the research. These are usually smaller than 100 MB.
The data is stored on the servers of the ZID of TU Graz and is protected by their security measures.
In principle you can get the local file path from any folder and then save it e.g. in eLabFTW in the editor section. This would again work like a link, but eLabFTW is not a local application and therefore the file explorer is not opened directly (because currently addresses that are not web addresses are filtered out). Whenever needed, you can copy the saved address and paste it in the file explorer again and so indirectly create a connection. So it is enough to save the file path as text element in eLabFTW.
Not directly, neither in the one nor in the other direction. But you can export the corresponding entry as .eln format and then import it via the "Import via file" function at the other section. This way you can transfer an experiment object to a resource object and vice versa.
No. There is no separate function which would take over this task explicitly, but you can sort in the experiment or resource section and select all entries with "Select All" and then export them at the same time.
