Screens Browser: Screen Details. The Screens Browser displays descriptive information such as screen number, screen type (RNAi or Small Molecule), title, summary, assay protocols, and keywords. Authorized staff may edit screen data, via the "Edit" command button. Associated users, including the Principal Investigator (lab name), lead screener, and collaborators are maintained for each screen. The collaborators feature also provides a means for controlling screen result data sharing among a subset of Screensaver users. Special administrative data, viewable only by staff (red labels), are maintained. These include administrative comments, attached files, and funding support information. The list of attached files allows staff to associate full documents with the screen, such as screening applications and letters of support. Publications can also be attached with citation information, which can be automatically retrieved when a PubMed ID is specified. Date-stamped screen status levels (upper right), such as "pending", "accepted", "ongoing", and "completed", provide a basic history of the progression of the screening effort. Lists of recent lab activities and cherry pick requests are shown in tables on the right, with commands for browsing and searching the full lists, and commands for adding new activities and requests (available only to screen administrators). All information concerning a screen's result data can be viewed via the expandable panels at the bottom of the page (see Figure 6). The screen panel, shown expanded, can be collapsed if the user wishes to view the result data only.
