Im Kern bietet die Datenbank ein ähnliches User-Interface wie das Bearbeiten von Experimenten, die wesentliche Unterscheidung ist vor allem dass Inhalte in der Datenbank darauf ausgelegt sind immer und immer wieder verwendet zu werden.
What exactly is the database in eLabFTW?
The database can be used to store information about various things that are used over and over again in experiments. These things can then be linked to the experiments.
These things can be very different, for example:
- Consumables of all kinds like chemicals, protective equipment or questionnaires.
- Information about all kinds of equipment or rooms that are used
- Information about superordinate research projects
...
The possibilities are very diverse and can be strongly individualized per team.
In essence, the database offers a similar user interface as the editing of experiments, the main difference is that content in the database is designed to be used over and over again.
