I contacted my Informatics department and they allowed access to the web address <a href="http://bayesmendel.dfci.harvard.edu/risk/" rel="nofollow">http://bayesmendel.dfci.harvard.edu/risk/</a> without going through the firewall, but still no success. It is not evident in the program menus how to set up a proxy in Progeny. I think that Progeny8 has a problem to access the internet via a proxy server that did not existed with Progeny7, because when I start the program not even the Progeny logo and the banner appear in the login window. This does not happen with Progeny8 when I use the laptop at home and it did not happen before with Progeny7 at work. Any help with this?</p> <p>2- I have tested the web risk calculation (using my private wireless internet access) and it works fine for calculating the mutation probability. However, the disease risk and mutation probability calculation is the same irrespective of indicating in the BRCA tab whether or not a mutation has been found in the family. This works correctly in CaGene. It seems like the information in the fields "BRCA1 test results" and "BRCA2 test results" are not taken into account in the calculation. Is this being corrected?</p> <p>Looking forward for your feedback, I send you my best regards,<br /> Manuel </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/168#post-542 Thu, 08 Sep 2011 12:49:04 +0000 kai 542@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>Hello,<br /> I try to import data into table field using the "Global ID" as unique ID<br /> I met a problem when I try to import the data.<br /> after I click import button, I check “import into tables only” box, then click OK.<br /> A window “import cancelled” pop up, say “no tables were found in this spreadsheet, please check your settings.”</p> <p>Do you know how to solve the problem?

I see a similar odd behavior with the "Gender". I cannot change it from the individual sheet but I can change it from a pedigree sheet. Again, I am a newbie, but this is rather odd. </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/150#post-493 Fri, 15 Jul 2011 12:25:54 +0000 kai 493@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I'm new to use Progeny. </p> <p>I have a big table which contents 10 text fields and more than 2,000 rows.<br /> There are two fields existing in current Progeny DB. old_field1 and old_field2. The values of old_field1 + old_field2 are unique.<br /> The other 8 fields are new_field1 ..... new_field8. The 8 new fields need to be added in Progeny DB.</p> <p>The aim is based on the values of old_field1 and old_field2 to determine the other 8 new fields.<br /> The logical is: if old_field1=value1 and old_field2=value2, then new_field1=value3 ..... new_field8=value10.</p> <p>First, I tried to create 8 computed fields to handle new_field1 ..... new_field8. Then add the computed field definition in. But, I found the definition window cannot handle those many expressions.</p> <p>Then second, I tried to create a lookup table field to store the table.

When I had this field to a Individual data spreadsheet all patients appear with "Invalid DateTime" instead of their respective IPO-number, so I am not able to export the data from this field.

This problem always occurs when I delete an individual in an existing pedigree. When I click on 'save' and then 'close tab' (after deleting an individual) it doesn't save anything and it doesn't close the pedigree. I don't have this problem when adding an individual or changing something in the IDS. It only occurs when we delete an individual in an existing pedigree. </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/126#post-354 Wed, 06 Apr 2011 19:26:26 +0000 tanmarhar 354@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>I have created a new computed field that subtracts three fields from another (computed field = A - B - C - D). When a number (including 0) is entered in B, C and D fields, the computed field shows the correct value. When B, C or D is left blank, the computed field is also blank. Fields B, C and D are not required fields and will not always be filled; why won't the computed field populate when B, C or D is blank? </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/123#post-343 Tue, 05 Apr 2011 05:07:26 +0000 Daoud 343@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>I noticed that with the upgrade to Progeny 8 it isn't possible anymore to have computed fields that uses summary fields. We have used this kind of computed fields a lot in Progeny7. We made some useful algorithms for all kind of questions like risk profiles. Now in Progeny8 all this computed fields show 'Bad Calculation'. You can imagine that we are not so happy with this change, because it took a lot of work to make this algorithms work. Building up the computed field again in Progeny 8 seems to be not possible, because not able to use summary fields. I hope this can be solved, because for our clinic this would be a reason to go back with Progeny7. </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/112#post-287 Tue, 15 Feb 2011 16:28:41 +0000 freeseek 287@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>I was trying to import table subfields in the database using the import function from the individual spreadsheet tab.

I have two questions regarding formatting of the pedigree.</p> <p>1 - Is there a way to have the program automatically indicate a deceased individual (line through symbol) if you complete the field for "date of death" or "age at death"? I understand that you can set certain validation settings; however I don't see where you can alter the symbol's appearance based on a particular answer on and individual data sheet.</p> <p>2 - Is there a way to make the properties settings for an individual pedigree consistent among all pedigrees. For example, I prefer that "force father to left" is checked for every pedigree I enter. I can individually go and check that box in each new pedigree, but I would like to be able to have that as a standard setting. Same goes for adding text to a pedigree. For example, I would like to indicate in the bottom corner the name of our institution.</p> <p>Thank you! </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/92#post-221 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 10:46:22 +0000 Roger 221@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>1. When will it be available as an upgrade?</p> <p>2. Will the Clinical Web version of Progeny be upgraded to use the version 8 enhancements?</p> <p>3.

In the lab where I work the database has been handled by many different people and I was often reported the usual problem that the "Individual name" field was not the same as the "Patient ID" field and that sometimes this was assigned by Progeny. Many users thought the "Individual name" could not be changed despite the fact that some "Individual name"s did not make any sense. The root problem is that, when you add an individual from a pedigree's tab, Progeny assigns automatically an "Individual name" that is related to the "UPN" of the pedigree rather than just asking the user input for the new individual. I think a much better behavior would be to ask the user for the "Individual name" field while suggesting the default field. Assigning "Individual name"s without the user's notice can complicate things quite a bit. This complaint goes together the fact that fields like "Individual name", "Pedigree name", and "Gender" cannot be changed from the individual's tab without giving an explanation for why (though I understand that it would complicate the design quite a bit). </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/83#post-185 Wed, 20 Oct 2010 19:57:02 +0000 freeseek 185@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>I was wondering if it is possible to go from the information sheet for an individual to the information sheet of the pedigree that individual belongs to. I am not experienced with Progeny, but I noticed that once you perform a query it is possible to jump to individuals and pedigrees by right clicking with the mouse on the row of the individual you are interested in. I could not find a way to do that from an individual's tab. </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/73#post-157 Thu, 01 Jul 2010 18:02:57 +0000 imartinez 157@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>We have added the new DNS Server name on all the workstations, but when loging in we are unable to find the database.</p> <p>I was told we also need to use the same "service name"?</p> <p>what is that? </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/71#post-153 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 07:41:15 +0000 mboursnell 153@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>I am building a fairly large pedigree, and I want to delete an individual which I have added.

We are interested in digitizing a number of studies onto Progeny but we are running into a few issues such as the need to attach multiple scanned documents to an individual. </p> <p>Using the Cancer Example from Demo as an example, what if we wished to attach images (scanned documents) of an individual's cancer(s) . One person in the pedigree may not have cancer while another could have multiple. Do we have to put in multiple fields into the data sheet and will that have to apply to each individual? If this is the case, can we alter the heading for each field to better describe what is being linked or shown?</p> <p>Lastly, is this a reasonable, or feasible, route to take for trying to attach scanned records, documents, or images?</p> <p>Any help is greatly appreciated. </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/56#post-111 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 10:27:06 +0000 khope 111@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>1.

Whilst I can see how to start afresh, I am looking for information on how to bring across some 7500 pedigrees with 180000 individuals from Cyrillic.<br /> Importing from Cyrillic gives me just a pedigree outline without individual properties. Anyone been down this road??<br /> Convert,inport,cyrillic </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/48#post-87 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 15:30:33 +0000 jamie-lheureux 87@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>If you have set up an individual data sheet to have all of the fields display a heading that is different from the field name is there any way to change back to showing the field name instead of the heading? The only way I see is to drag all of the fields from the warehouse again. We have a form that is set up like this and has a lot of additional text added so we don't want to start all over, but would like to see the actual names of the fields instead of the heading. </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/45#post-75 Wed, 11 Mar 2009 12:11:43 +0000 Greg M. Silverman 75@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>Am wondering how flexible the data sheet design is. In particular, we have a questionnaire in which the proband has data attributes (i.e., fields) that the kindred do not, so is it possible to either bind a different data sheet to the proband than what we would bind to the kindred, or can we at least hide these attributes for individuals that are not a proband?</p> <p>If this is not possible, then I assume our best option would be to enter these data outside of Progeny and then import the required data into Progeny so that we could create the desired pedigree?</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p> <p>Greg-- </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/44#post-73 Mon, 23 Feb 2009 12:36:53 +0000 Janice Jones 73@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>Can anyone on this forum enlighten me as to the advantages/disadvantages of encrypting the Progeny server database?
