Using the Procedure Library
- Jessica Steele
To complete a protocol submission in WVU+kc, you must include the details of all procedures. Using the Procedure Library allows you to import complete details for a procedure from the WVU Research Administration Application (RAA).
Import a Procedure from the RAA Procedure Library:
Navigate to the Procedures section of an IACUC or IRB Protocol document in WVU+kc.
Click on the Add Info button (or Add Line) in the Procedures chart to enter details about a procedure.
On the Add (or Edit) screen, you will provide details about the procedure. Begin this entry by completing the first three fields:
Select the Species (from the Animal Information section).
Enter a Unique Title for this Procedure on this protocol.
Select the Procedure Type.
Will you will be Using the Procedure Library to import details about this procedure? Answer Yesor No. If you will be using the Procedure Library, click Yes. The Procedure Library block will appear below.
Click the Procedures Library link (https://raa.wvu.edu.prlb/procedures/list) to view a list of procedures stored in the WVU Research Administration Application (RAA).
You will be required to enter your WVU Login username and password, and then authenticate your login to continue to the Procedures Library list. Visit Login.wvu.edu for help.
After you have successfully logged into RAA with your WVU Login/authentication, you will see the Procedures List appear in a new browser tab or window.
Search for the procedure you are adding to the protocol document by entering a keyword into the Search field in the upper right corner of the page. The procedures list will immediately be limited to display only those procedures matching the search terms.
When you have located the procedure that will be used in the protocol activities, click the Get a PDF of this procedure button (PDF icon) in the Actions column to download a copy of the full procedure details. The file will be downloaded and saved according to your web browser’s settings.
In the ID field, click the Copy this ID to the clipboard icon (pages icon) to copy the procedure number to your computer’s clipboard.
Click on the WVU+kc Protocols application tab or window to switch back to the protocol Add Procedures screen.
Click in the Procedure ID field in the Procedure Library block, then paste in the number you copied from the RAA Procedures List by either right-clicking in the field and selecting Paste from the context menu, or pressing Ctrl+V (or Cmd+V) on your keyboard.
Now, upload the PDF file from the library to the Procedure Description area. You can either drag & drop a file into the box, or click the Choose button to pick a file from your computer.
The Procedure Library is now populated with the correct procedure description. Continue to fill in the remaining procedure details fields below.
When all fields on the Add Procedure screen are complete, click Done to close the screen.
The new procedure will appear in the Procedures chart, with ‘Yes’ indicated in the Using Procedure Library column. Click Add Line if you need to add another procedure to the protocol.
You have completed using the Procedure Library to populate the Procedures chart details in a WVU+kc protocol document.
You can only download PDFs from procedures that have a current status of Active. Click any column header to sort on that column (for example, to sort by Status).
