Is there a way to create a field to just list these peoples' initials (rather than their full name)? If yes, is there a way to set-up the field so that it can take the full names to automatically generate the initials (instead of having to manually type in the intials of every single person on the pedigrees)? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/35#post-53 Thu, 15 Jan 2009 19:45:52 +0000 jamie-lheureux 53@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>It would be nice to be able to export out a data dictionary. It could just be the name of all of the fields, the field type, and if possible, the options for drop down fields. If a description could be added when each field is created that explains that field, that description could also be exported in the data dictionary. Funding sources often ask for a data dictionary to see what type of data is being collected for a study. We currently track this in excel and have to remember to update it whenever we change or make new fields. </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/64#post-128 Wed, 02 Dec 2009 15:19:31 +0000 genrox 128@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>I have a user that has not used the database for a while. We do not see her username in the dropdown field for the login. I have asked the user to change her password, her name did not appear; I have deleted her as a user and added her again (with all the settings she is allowed to), her name still did not appear. Do I forget something in the procedure? </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/61#post-120 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 10:53:10 +0000 librown 120@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>I figured it out.

I have tried to change this by editing the properties. I correct the sample name and select save at which point I get a message stating that the change has been successfully saved. When I re-open the sample however the sample appears with the old label. Any thoughts? </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/54#post-106 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 16:11:09 +0000 Greg M. Silverman 106@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>Hi Lianne,<br /> As we move towards production, I am looking at transferring data back and forth from our internal db to Progeny via XML.</p> <p>I was looking at the structure of the output XML from Progeny and am slightly confused as to how the data map to the fields. I looked through the schema as defined under the &lt;Database&gt; tag and nowhere is there a definition of mappings that says: "f35 data" maps to &lt;FIELD fieldname="Address 1" fieldtype="text" tabid="Demographics\"&gt;</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p> <p>Greg-- </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/53#post-103 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 12:27:40 +0000 Greg M. Silverman 103@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>Hi Lianne,<br /> So far so good in the importing of our data into Progeny for the generation of pedigrees. However, I've run into a problem when trying to get data into the cancer diagnosis table. In a nutshell, it isn't working. I've tried doing it as the cancer description string (I have made sure the string that is in the file being imported is in the ICD table), as the icd code, etc., but the data are not being imported into this field. I have also tried adding diagnosis date, again with no luck..</p> <p>Any suggestions?</p> <p>P.S. Is there some kind of SQL interface outside of Progeny in which I can write SQL scripts to move data about?</p> <p>Thanks very much in advance!</p> <p>Greg-- </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/52#post-101 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 00:52:45 +0000 Dick Wesseling 101@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>I have a table with some 13000 entries for each suburb. It identifies the suburb name, the postcode and the service area. Is there a way in which I can set the data entry field to locate the required suburb name by typing the first few characters of the name in stead of having to repeatiedly pressing the first character. This is not applicable with so many entries. For example ; It takes 76 * M to reach MU for 'Musswellbrook'. </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/51#post-99 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 11:27:53 +0000 tchiang 99@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I'm trying to figure out if Progeny can handle nested queries in the INDIVIDUAL data spreadsheet. </p> <p>I would like to query for the mother and father ids for a subset of individuals. But because the mother/father ids are system fields that are UPN, I would need to do a sub-nested-query to map the UPNs to their INDIVIDUAL Names. Since this is two queries, how can I achieve this in Progeny where one is the sub of the other.</p> <p>In SQL, I would use two SELECT statements; one as a subquery of the other. Can this be accomplished in Progeny?</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Ted </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/49#post-93 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 17:17:13 +0000 Susan B 93@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>It would be helpful to have a way to note if a set of triplets is composed of a set of monozygotic twins plus a sibling. Is there any way to make that happen in progeny? We have tried to change the relationship line but it assigns the monozygosity to all three of the kids. </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/50#post-95 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 15:42:45 +0000 Greg M. Silverman 95@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>Hi,<br /> I have symbols defined for the following icons:</p> <p>Symbol 1. Cancertype = CancerA<br /> Symbol 2. Cancertype = CancerB<br /> Symbol 3. Cancertype = Cancer C</p> <p>I am trying to find a way to have a symbol appear for the following without success:</p> <p>Symbol 4. Cancertype != CancerA OR CancerB OR CancerC</p> <p>I've tried using double and single quotes around the cancer types, but the logic does not seem to get read correctly. I have also tried these without quotes. Is there any way to have this not be read as a string, but as a logical statement?</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p> <p>Greg-- </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/46#post-77 Wed, 08 Apr 2009 11:47:39 +0000 TRAMDTRAN 77@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>I deleted an individual that happened to have samples. It would be helpful if I had been prompted: </p> <p>Delete individual AND related samples or Delete individual only? </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/41#post-68 Tue, 10 Feb 2009 13:19:25 +0000 khope 68@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>I know I've been begging for this feature for a couple years, but I'd really like to emphasize how important this feature is. I cannot count how many times I've spent abstracting data for research when it could have easily been completed by a large data batch dump! </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/38#post-60 Wed, 28 Jan 2009 13:30:53 +0000 jamie-lheureux 60@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>I was really excited when my undergraduate assistant showed me how to rearrange the columns in a spreadsheet by clicking on the header and dragging into a new position. This is so much easier than un-clicking and re-clicking the little boxes in the spreadsheet fields box! So, I thought I would share this for those of you who are like me and have been using Progeny for a long time, but still don't know all the sneaky little tricks. </p>
