Frequently Asked Questions:
Since the Dewar Tracking release of ISPyB, the upload excel file is no longer available in the Create Shipment tab. To upload a file, you have first to create a shipment (with the appropriate number of dewars). Then, on the shipment, just after the shipment creation or by selecting your shipment in the shipment list, you will have an "Upload Shipment from Excel file" link. It will allow you to download a template and to upload a file in the current shipment.
In ISPYB, go to the 'Prepare experiment' TAB and select the shipment(s) you are working on and save. if you are working on 'stand-alone' samples, you can select them from the left menu of that page.
You will have to mention where you have put the baskets in the sample changer. For that you will need to click on the link 'fill the sample changer' at the top of the 'prepare experiment' page.
Clicking on them will lead to a 'view action'. i.e. click on dewar label will provide you with a list of containers in this particular dewar, click on sample name will provide you with all information attached to that sample ( protein information, crystal information, shiping information...)
Because it is in 'processing state' : meaning accessible from the beamline data collection software.
In order to make it editable again, you have to go in the 'Prepare experiment' TAB, deselect it from the 'select for experiment' column and Save it. You'll see that you Shipment goes from processing to opened in the 'shipment status' column.
