Programme Lead

Programme Leads are responsible for:

creating projects;
assigning access permissions; and
making the project available to users.

These administrative responsibilities are described here.

Programme Leads are also responsible for creating and maintaining the data entry Forms and Editors that Data Entry users work with. Data entry Forms are typically designed to:

Capture or edit one record at a time

Users enter data in a Form which creates or updates one record in an EMu module as the Form is saved: there is a one to one relationship between the data entered in the Form and a record in an EMu module.

Details

The following screenshot shows the design of a data entry Form to capture details of a Person Party. The Form comprises a single section with four fields (only the first is shown) and a search section:

When accessed by a user, the Form will display as:

When details are entered and the Form is saved, a record is created in the Parties module.

The search option can be used to locate a record in the Parties module, which can be edited and saved.

Some features of this Form:

#	Feature
1	Clicking the information icon will display a pop-up with details about the purpose of the Form:
2	This field has been configured as mandatory. The Form cannot be saved unless a value is entered in the field.
3	A drop list of available values for the field.
4	Searches the Parties module for a record and displays its values in the Form, where they can be edited and saved back to the Parties module.

Perform some special processing
Rather than creating or editing a single record when a Form is saved, the Form data can be processed by a script to manipulate it in any number of ways. A typical use of a Processing Script is bulk creation of records.

Details

Note: Processing scripts are written in perl, typically by Axiell developers. A number of scripts are available and can be provided on request; additional scripts can be written to meet a customer's requirements. Please contact Axiell Support to discuss.

Each project has a directory on the IMu server located beneath the forms directory. Processing scripts for a project are saved to this directory.

It is not necessary to enter the name of the script in the Processing script field if there is only one script assigned to the Form and the script is named using the Form's Identifier with a .pl suffix (this becomes the default script), e.g.:

imaging.pl

If there is more than one processing script available (and you do not wish to use the default script), enter the name of the script to use in the Processing script field:
