Users Browser. The Users Browser, available via the "Browse Users" and "Browse Screeners" menu options, allows facility staff to review the status of screeners, along with their screening projects, and their relationships to other screeners. All relevant contact information is displayed (upper left) and may be edited from this view after invoking the "Edit" command. The list of "Roles" provides a mechanism for controlling the data access permissions for the user. The "Lab Name" field, along with the "Lab Members" list, shows the members of the user's lab. The "Checklist Items" (upper right) allow staff to track the completion or activation status of administrative tasks. The (collapsible) "Screens" panel (bottom) shows the user's screening projects, partitioned into separate lists for Small Molecule and RNAi screens. The "Screen Associates" displays the full list of collaborators, lead screeners, and lab heads that are associated with the user's screening projects. A new screening project can be added from this view by invoking one of the "Add Screen" buttons. As for all data types in Screensaver, the navigation bar (top) and "Search" link allows staff to browse through users, within the context of a particular search result, ordered on a particular field. The main menu panel, shown here, is elided in subsequent figures. Note that this Users Browser page contains many Harvard-specific fields, including user ID numbers and checklist items. As for all fields in Screensaver, field names and value types can be customized by developers to the specific needs of any screening facility.
