3.3. Setting up a new database
If you have purchased the "Patho" solution with your software, you have a
database available to you. In the labSens tool window, the workflow is then
organized as a series of cases for you to work on. First, click the Start Case
button and perform all of the image acquisitions, annotations and measurements
necessary for this case. The images are automatically saved in the database.
Only the database administrator can set up a database.
Use the database template that is provided to set up a new database. Only then
can you use the labSens tool window to create new cases in a database.
1. Select the Database > New... command.
The New Database dialog box will open. This dialog box works in a
similar manner to a wizard. It guides you step-by-step through the
setting up of a database.
2. Specify in the Database Server field on which database server the
database is to be set up. If you have already set up a database on this
server from your PC, you will find the required server in the picklist.
Alternatively, click the button [ … ] with the three points. The Select
Servers dialog box will open. Here, select the server from the
Available database servers list, then click the Add >> button. Click
the OK button to close the dialog box and return to the New
Database dialog box.
The database file is located on the database server. The documents
e.g., the images, can also be located on another PC, or even on
several different PCs. You will find more information on document
storage in a database in the online help.
3. In the User Authentication group, you select the way you (and all future
users) are to log on to this database.
