In other words it is possible to find anything a normal user wants to 36 know about BASE. The intention with this first chapter is to give an overview of the 37 following chapters so it will be easier for you to know where to look for certain 38 information in case you don't want to read the whole part from the beginning to the end. 39 </para> 40 41 <sect1 id="userdoc_overview.environment"> 42 <title>Working environment</title> 32 43 <para> 33 44 Before you start working with any big experiment or project in BASE it could be handy to 45 get to know the environment and perhaps personalize some behavior and appearance of the 46 program. When this is done your daily work in BASE will be much easier and you will feel 47 more comfortable working with the program. 34 48 </para> 35 <sect1 id="userdoc_overview.environment"> 36 <title>Working environment</title> 37 <para></para> 38 </sect1> 49 50 <para> 51 Most of the things that have to do with the working environment are gathered in one 52 chapter, 53 <xref linkend="webclient" /> 54 where the first subsection, 55 <xref linkend="webclient.introduction" /> 56 , gives a good guidance how to start using BASE including a general explanation 57 how to navigate your way through the program. 58 </para> 59 60 <para> 61 The second subsection, 62 <xref linkend="webclient.configuration" /> 63 , describes how to personlize BASE with contact information, preferences and changing 64 password. The preferences are for instance some appearance like date-format, text-size 65 or the look of buttons in the toolbar. 66 </para> 67 68 <para> 69 The last two subsections in the webclient chapter explain how to work with items in 70 BASE. Things explained here are general in BASE and give e.g information about item 71 lists and in which ways they can be adjusted to become easier to overlook. Here is also 72 described the general way of working with a single item, like creating, editing and 73 deleting. Each item type has also a section of it's own later in this part, where more 74 detailed information can be found. 75 </para> 76 </sect1> 77 78 <sect1 id="userdoc_overview.think_base"> 79 <title>How to think like BASE</title> 80 <para> 81 There are some working principles that need to be understood by all users in BASE. These 82 are about the permission system and how to get the workflow to move on without any 83 disturbance caused by insufficient permission. The key is to work in projects, that and 84 the permission system are covered in 85 <xref linkend="project_permission" /> 86 </para> 87 <para> 88 Understanding the permission system and how to work in projects will not only make it 89 simpliar for you to work in BASE but also for your colleagues who needs access to your 90 items when you are working together. 91 </para> 92 </sect1> 93 94 <sect1 id="userdoc_overview.start2work"> 95 <title>Start working with BASE</title> 96 <para> 97 The first thing to do in BASE, to get started with your work, is to put in some relevant 98 data to work with. Most of the different items are created in the same way, but some 99 items and data must be imported from files. The files to import from have to be on the 100 BASE-server's file system. 101 <xref linkend="file_system" /> 102 explains how the server's file system works and how to upload the files. 103 </para> 39 104 40 <sect1 id="userdoc_overview.think_base"> 41 <title>How to think like BASE</title> 42 <para></para> 43 </sect1> 44 45 <sect1 id="userdoc_overview.start2work"> 46 <title>Start working with BASE</title> 47 <para></para> 48 </sect1> 105 <para> 106 In most cases it's not enough to just keep the data in files on the server. To be able 107 to use the data it has to be imported into the database. 108 <xref linkend="import_export" /> 109 explains how this is done . This chapter also covers how the data later on are exported 110 from the database back into files, often simple text or xml files. 111 </para> 112 </sect1> 49 113 </chapter>
