3.3. Setting up a new database
If you have purchased the "Patho" solution with your software, you have a
database available to you. In the
labSens
tool window, the workflow is then
organized as a series of cases for you to work on. First, click the
Start Case
button and perform all of the image acquisitions, annotations and measurements
necessary for this case. The images are automatically saved in the database.
Only the database administrator can set up a database.
Use the database template that is provided to set up a new database. Only then
can you use the
labSens
tool window to create new cases in a database.
1. Select
the
Database > New...
command.
The
New Database
dialog box will open. This dialog box works in a
similar manner to a wizard. It guides you step-by-step through the
setting up of a database.
2. Specify in the
Database Server
field on which database server the
database is to be set up. If you have already set up a database on this
server from your PC, you will find the required server in the picklist.
Alternatively, click the button [ … ] with the three points. The
Select
Servers
dialog box will open. Here, select the server from the
Available database servers
list, then click the
Add >>
button. Click
the
OK
button to close the dialog box and return to the
New
Database
dialog box.
The database file is located on the database server. The documents
e.g., the images, can also be located on another PC, or even on
several different PCs. You will find more information on document
storage in a database in the online help.
3. In
the
User Authentication
group, you select the way you (and all future
users) are to log on to this database.
