Mouse "shopping cart". Mice can be placed together in a cart irrespective of their real rack or cage location; the cart can also contain dead mice. Table: For each mouse in the cart, the basic data (ID, ear mark, sex, date of birth, date of death, genotype, strain, line, room/rack/cage and comment) is displayed in a row. The background color of the mouse rows is sex-specific (blue: male; pink: female). Information about current location (room, rack and cage) is given for living mice. Individual mice can be selected via checkbox (second column) for further operations. The table can be sorted by clicking on the respective underlined header column. The cart can be emptied all at once, or individually selected mice can be removed or kept in the cart. Carts can be saved permanently with a custom name and reloaded later. Table information can be exported to Excel or another spreadsheet application. Bottom: Pressing one of the "buttons" at the bottom part of the cart view applies the respective operation to selected mice.
