     1=== Overview ===
    22From the CaTissue home page:
    33"caTissue Suite is caBIG's biorepository tool for biospecimen inventory management, tracking, and annotation."

     7=== BRICCS Needs ===
    78We need to learn how to use the caTissue API. In particular:
    89
     
    1112   * what would it take to be able to process more than one participant at a time through the collection protocol? Currently the submission process includes checking for empty data in form elements which presumably have the same ID in each open tab or window, thus throwing an error.

     14While we work with 1.1.2p5, it might be useful to know that there is a pre-built VM with caTissue 1.2 (the next version) available here:

     16https://cabig-kc.nci.nih.gov/Biospecimen/KC/index.php/2010_User_Meeting_VM
     17
     18This was used during the Houston User Meeting. I know it works on Ubuntu host, using !VirtualBox. YMMV.

     22And files demonstrating the bulk operations feature of caTissue are here: https://cabig-kc.nci.nih.gov/Biospecimen/uploaded_files/1/19/BO_-_Loading_Data_Session.zip

     28=== User Privileges ===
    1529A note on user privileges in caTissue from Jeff. It is not our favoured model of privileges, but probably defined in the caBIG CSM (Common Security Model). We'd like more fine-grain privileges, but in the meantime this is how it works:
    1630
     
    1933"I (naively) thought that setting up privileges for each individual user would suffice. Seems reasonable. Then the penny dropped. What if I were doing admin on the protocol and wanted to stop people using it whilst changes were underway? If I were relying upon individual user privileges alone, I would have to go into each user and change their privilege, then do the protocol admin, then go back into each user again to re-enable their use. Very tedious. The way it is set up in caTissue, I can disable / enable wholesale privileges for one protocol with one admin action. Quite clever?"
