Administration tool and protocol management. The administration plug-in manages the application support folder. The tool allows the maintenance and creation of protocols (1), the definition of openBEB errors (2) and the semiautomatic upload of the application support folder to the server (3). Protocols are comprised of three files: a collection protocol (4), a dataset protocol (5), and an initialization file (6). The first two are assembled from a library of controlled vocabulary items (7) that is shared between all protocols. An entry in the controlled-vocabulary library can be changed, and these modifications can be automatically transferred to existing protocols (8).
