Basic navigation and messaging system

There is a video tutorial available for this section.

Zebrabase can be accessed from any web browser, however, it is optimized for Google Chrome. For each Zebrabase licence (purchased by a zebrafish facility, for example), there is an independent database instance running. To access your instance, use the unique URL prefix of your instance and type in <prefix>.zebrabase.org into your browser.

Home page

The Home page is the first page the user sees after logging in. It consists of tiles that navigate the user to the main sections of Zebrabrabase. Please note that some sections from the image below may be unavailable due to the pay plan settings and user permissions (home page for the Premium plan with admin permissions is shown).

On the top, there is the main navigation panel which can be accessed from any page.

Submenu

Each section (for example Fish) has its submenu that directs the user to the specific pages of the section.

Messaging system

The inbuilt messaging system allows users to send and receive messages, or to receive system notifications. To access it, click the envelope icon in the upper right corner.

To write a new message, click the blue paper plane icon. To reply to a message, go to its detail and click Reply or Reply to all.

NOTE: For system notifications, there is also the option to receive emails or Slack messages, see chapter Notification system for more info.
