User fields are custom settings or additional information associated with an animal or test. This may be, for example, the weight of an animal, its sex, the group to which it belongs (control group, group having received treatment A, B, etc.), or the phase of the test (first training, second training, first test, second test, etc ).
There are 3 types of user fields:
Choice : an element of a list (for example the sex of the animal, the membership of a group, the delay before or after treatment, ....).
Text : a free text.
Numeric : a positive or negative numeric value, with or without a comma, with or without a unit (for example the weight of the animal.
User fields can be used to store information about an animal or a test, but also to create filters to select certain tests to include in a report (for example all tests performed on animals in the control group).
User fields of choice type can also be used as grouping level in the "Workspace" panel, in the list of tests, as well as in reports.
