This made data entry much faster; name, age, dx, smoking status, whatever. </p> <p>A new function that would be helpful would be the ability to select multiple individuals in the pedigree and change the vital status of all at one time.</p> <p>Any chance of returning/adding these functions?<br /> Kate </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/66#post-138 Mon, 01 Feb 2010 18:42:12 +0000 Betty 138@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>I currently have pedigrees created in Progeny, with peoples' names listed. 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/65#post-133 Fri, 11 Dec 2009 14:09:56 +0000 Owen 133@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>I have just recently started using Progeny 7 after a lot of work has been put into developing the database and the pedigrees. 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/59#post-116 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 06:19:00 +0000 Manuel Teixeira 116@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>Hi. I have just started to use Progeny 7 and I realize that it has an export modek to BRCAPRO.

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/63#post-126 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 11:56:55 +0000 genrox 126@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>We would like to print barcodes for new samples in advance and assign them to individual later on.

I have tried adding it to the set by right clicking on the set and selecting 'add markers to this set'. It seems like it gets added (and the others that were with it are added) but when we try to import into the set or search the set it can't be found. Are there any restrictions on marker names or perhaps the alias for markers in marker sets? The names seem particularly long, so I am wondering if there is a restriction on the number of characters? Thanks! </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.

Is there any way to create a drop down menu that, when a value is selected, another value is generated in another field. For example, selecting "breast" in a drop-down which would generate an ICD code in another field.</p> <p>2. Has there been a request to add a feature that allows attaching of scanned documents or images to an individual or a pedigree? </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/55#post-108 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 15:47:45 +0000 Lauren S 108@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>I have a sample that is entered into progeny with the wrong label. 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/47#post-83 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 06:39:40 +0000 Dick Wesseling 83@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>Greetings<br /> I am about to start with Progeny for our organisation. 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/37#post-58 Mon, 26 Jan 2009 15:36:15 +0000 jamie-lheureux 58@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>It would be nice to be able to copy an action/reaction within a database. There are several actions that I want to make that include several reactions and only vary slightly from each other. It would be nice to be able to just modify and 'save as' a new action instead of starting over from scratch and adding in all of the reactions again. </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/40#post-65 Fri, 06 Feb 2009 12:51:00 +0000 Ginny Hughes 65@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>Within the analysis module, it would be helpful to have an option to include only people on a particular plate in the analysis. Currently when you pull a plate into the "pedigree" box, it is not just the people on the plate that are included in the query, but everyone in the pedigree. Currently there is no way of selecting just the people on the plate for analysis. </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/42#post-69 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 12:07:36 +0000 jamie-lheureux 69@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>This question is for anyone who uses the workflows in LIMS. What do you do when a sample is done going through a workflow and doesn't need anything else done? I don't see any way to remove a sample from a workflow without putting it into another one. Maybe I am missing something since I am new to the workflow process. My only idea has been to put it into another workflow called 'completed' or something like that. Can anyone share with me what they are doing? Or, perhaps a new feature could be a reaction that removes sample from workflow like remove sample from container. </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/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?
