eLabFTW - Topics of Interest
Adding one or more teams, team groups or individual users is optional and can, but does not have to be done. Exception: Admin has forced the use of certain permission settings in the team settings.
This allows you to use your documentation externally or, for example, as additional information for publications or audits. Below you will find an overview of the available export formats and a short description.
In the three cases mentioned above, there are a few important points to consider when dealing with eLabFTW. As a user, it is important to remember which entries do not belong to you but you want to keep the information. As an admin or other user of the team, it is also important to think about this point in relation to the entries of the departing user. Entries can be duplicated for further use or exported for external archiving. If you leave the tool as a user, you should always export relevant entries, as you will lose access to them. If you are also the owner of database entries, transfer ownership to the admin of your team. Please remember, if you copy other peoples entries, to ask the owner for permission first, as it is the intellectual property of the person concerned.
EXPERIMENTS
You can select one or more entries via the web interface and export them directly. Several formats are available, which can be selected depending on the application. The entry itself remains after the export. You can also export an entry via the view of an individual entry. Depending on the view, you have different formats available for export. First check which one you need before exporting the entry(s). You can export all your experiments in one go via your 'Profile'. This is possible in different formats. However, only experiments for which you are the owner can be exported. Option for admins: As an admin, you can export all experiments of a user in different formats via the Admin Panel. You can also export database objects and bookings in the calendar. Option via API: Coming soon (only timestamped entries)
