Please read the following document carefully. This document lists important issues and topics concerning eagle-i. The eagle-i Consortium recommends that you read the entire document before using eagle-i.
You can find information on the following topics in this file:
In some cases, People will appear twice on a search instance page for an organization
This is because there are two separate properties, Members and Contacts (or some other field). Since field labels don't appear, they look duplicated.
Workaround: display both panels if desired. Click through to the desired person to discover the role.
Some resource links don't have any additional information
We're working on a fix.
In the Data Tools Web Application, "Browse Organizations" doesn't have any way to filter organizations
We'd like to provide a way to filter only resource-providing organizations, but there's work to do on the widgets.
Adding or editing properties from the Ontology list
You cannot select the top-level type in an ontology list, such as Technique or Laboratory. In a resource form, expand the book icon to see a picklist of available terms.
Workaround: Select <none>, type the term in the field, or use auto-complete.
Term request information does not display after saving
Term request information does not display in the resource view after saving.
Workaround: Open the Information for curators section to see the term request.
E-mails of lab contacts are not associated with the laboratory
The e-mail that appears in a lab record is not populated with e-mails from contact people records.
Workaround: Add email addresses to individual contact people records and to the laboratory record separately.
Laboratory Operations versus Resource Operations
Operations that you perform on a lab record (for example, delete or send to curation) apply only to the lab record and not to any associated resources.
Workaround: To perform an operation on all resources associated with a lab, go to that lab and select All Resource Types on the sidebar menu; using the check boxes, select an action to apply to all.
Note: There is no global delete. You must delete resources individually.
Linked resources do not appear in resource list
If a resource is linked to a resource that you do not own, such as a Laboratory linked to a Person, you cannot edit it, and it will not appear in your list of resources.
Workaround: People doing data entry must send all resources, including People and Organizations, to Curation by the same method that they send Laboratories and Resource Types such as Instruments, Organisms, and so forth. If Curators find a secondary resource that is still in Draft, such as a laboratory's PI, they should contact the current record owner and request that they send the linked record from Draft to Curation.
Organizations that were ETLed do not correctly display as Affiliations
Organizations were ETLed without more granular types associated to them (for example, Department). Therefore, they do not correctly display as affiliations when editing a resource. Instead, you see a message, [probably deleted]. These organizations also do not appear as choices in affiliation picklists.
Workaround: Edit the Organization to assign a more specific type.
Person selection lists do not refresh
When you create a new laboratory, and you create a new Person record as a contact, the selection list for PI does not update.
Workaround: To see the new Person record in all selection lists, save the form and edit again. Optionally, you can <create new> and create a person with the identical name. The saved record contains one person with that name. For example, if you create a PI named John Smith and a Contact named John Smith, they become the same Person resource.
Selecting a Resource Type may append incorrect information to the resource
If you complete some fields and then re-select a resource type, the form redraws. In certain cases, such as when the new type requires fewer fields, information disappears, but is appended to the resource.
Workaround: Best practice is to select the resource type first, or save before selecting it.
Restrict to choices from this lab or See choices from all labs hyperlink may not appear
When you add a resource, the link for all labs or one lab is not visible.
Workaround: To add a resource and restore the link, first select <none> as the resource.
Published resources may not be immediately available in Search
When a resource is published, normally Search finds the resource after five minutes of publishing. In certain cases, publishing takes much longer, before a published resource is available in search.
Workaround: If the resource does not appear immediately, wait longer than five minutes before searching for a newly published resource.
