Rack view. Top table: the rack overview contains general information about rack capacity, cages in use, free cage slots and total mice in the rack. Bottom table: this table lists every cage currently in the rack. Cages can be viewed in expanded mode (cages 0002, 0109 and 0522 in this example) or in condensed mode, which is the default. In expanded mode, every mouse together with basic data (ID, ear mark, sex, date of birth, genotype, strain, line and comment) is displayed in a row. The background color of the mouse rows is sex-specific (blue: male; pink: female). Individual mice can be selected from all expanded cages via checkbox (second column) or moved to another cage (third column from the right). In condensed mode, only cage summary information (number of mice per sex, strain and line) is displayed. The whole cage can be moved to another rack (third column from the right), or a cage card can be printed. The background color of the cage rows is sex-specific (blue: male; pink: female; yellow: mixed cages).
