3.3.0: Zebrabase News (May/2022)

New: The look

This time we focused on the interface and improved the layout, color-scheme, and buttons functionality. You will notice a lot of changes that should improve your experience when using Zebrabase.

  • Colors: the color scheme is now more unified and the color palette is harmonized, blue is the color for all actions and saving, red for warnings, and deleting

  • Buttons: instead of words self-explanatory unified pictographs are used everywhere possible

  • Layout: filtering setup is now hidden in a single icon, the filtering form, and substock action forms are reorganized for easier navigation

New: Custom filters

It is now possible to create and save a number of various filtering settings of your choice, label them, and share them with your colleagues.

New: Tags

Instead of the feature Productivity detail, which is no longer supported, additional information about your substocks can be stored as a tag (sick fish, single fish...). The tag is simple, colorful and visible in the facility view just like a paper tag would be on a real tank. It is recommended to limit the length of each tag to one word only. (Note: Productivity status can now longer be used for this kind of information and will be reserved for information on fish productivity only.)

New: Batch action permission

In order to perform certain batch actions, the permission batcher is now required. This will prevent non-authorized actions on a large number of substocks by inexperienced users. The permission can be granted to a specific user group by admin in Admin/Permission groups/Update. For admins, this permission is a default.

New: Batch or marked list export

Exporting of the manually selected content is enabled by using marked list export or batch actions.

New: Generation number

The stocks can now have a generation number (F0, F1...). The generation is set to 0 when creating a new fishline. In-crossing will increase the generation number by one. In other cases, it can be set manually. The generation number can be updated in Fish/Update Stocks.

New: Automatic label printing update

A change in substock properties will reset the label printing status to: To print and the printer icon will turn orange.

New: ZFIN nomenclature

ZFIN nomenclature is now supported to promote a clear and correct way of naming fishlines (example: Tg(gata1:DsRed)). This feature is enabled on request, please, contact us if you are interested.
