The Animal Census Coordinator security role is the primary role for cage card management and census

functions.

In this document, the reader will progressively be introduced to Cage Card Management and Barcode

Census Management processes and its various intricacies.

At a high level, the key progress related to the Census Coordinator consists of an alternation between

cards being activated and deactivated with all husbandry actions being applied in between.

A second process inherent in this role, involves performing an internal inventory audit in which the

system inventory is validated against real facility inventory via a scanner. This process will be covered in

Module 3: Reconcile Physical Inventory of the Animal Census Coordinator manual series.

Applications

Two applications are being used for the animal order process: Darwin Web and Darwin Desktop. The

Animal Census Coordinator will be using both applications with the same user ID and password:

This manual is divided into the following modules:

Module 1: Darwin Web Application

Module 2: Darwin Desktop Application

Module 3: Physical Census/ Inventory

Darwin web-based application is used for creating and modifying animal orders as well as processing

received shipments and generating reports. The Animal Census Coordinator will be using the Darwin

Desktop for printing and managing cage cards as performing reconciliation of animal inventory. (Refer to

Cage Cards Management -Darwin Desktop)

Introduction

of 125

The management of cage card records is critical to the barcode census process. Barcode census differs from a manual census process in that Darwin keeps track of active cage cards as opposed to having a person manually count cages and then enter census activity in a manual census record. Darwin desktop application is used for cage card management.

Login to Darwin Desktop

To start working with the desktop application, you must have permissions in the security role of ABUYER, BOFC and/or ACCOORD.

1. From your Computer Desktop, click on the Start menu> Accessories> Remote Desktop Connection

2. In the Remote Desktop dialog box, insert the remote desktop address rd1.campus.mcgill.ca then click Connect.

3. Select your profile icon CAMPUS\ McGill Short Username. You will be prompted to

enter your McGill Password.

(For more information about the McGill short username and McGill Password, go to http:// kb.mcgill.ca/it/easylink/article.html?id=1025

4. You will be directed to the Remote Desktop session (blue screen). Click OK

5. From the remote desktop screen, Click the eSirius desktop icon

6. In the dialog box, reenter your login information (short Username & password) and click on Login.

7. If you are assigned more than one security site/role, select the appropriate site/Animal Census

Coordinator from the Sites and Security Roles drop-down list.

8. Click the OK button.

You can change your security role after logging into Darwin by selecting other roles from the File menu.

Regular updates are performed on the Darwin program, requiring a system shut down at out-of business hours.

To avoid subsequent problems after the system is back online, it is important to LOGOUT from (not just close) the Remote Desktop Session from the rd1.campus.mcgill.ca server.

1. Close all open Darwin Desktop window applications

2. Logout of RD1 Desktop:

a. Click on START

b. Select the arrow next to the lock icon and click Log Off

Print Cage Cards

This section applies only to orders processed in Animal facility within the protocol’s Home FACC site.

According to the workflow of the Animal Orders, when the Animal Buyer placed the order in the Darwin web application, the ABUYER or Animal Census Coordinator (ACCOORD) will now prepare to

print the cage cards. This must be done prior to receiving the animals in Darwin. The Process Received Shipment activates those cards. The activation strip on the card is removed and discarded, indicating that the card is now active.

Shared Housing:

Cage Cards for Shared Housing are created using the Quick card function in Darwin desktop. This feature is only available to the ACCOORD role.

The Animal Husbandry application comprises the functions for maintaining the cage card records. If you want to retrieve real-time data it is important to perform the activations and deactivations of cage cards on a regular basis.

Cage cards are activated:

• Automatically when vendor orders are received into a bar-coded facility.

• When the user activates cards for weaned animals.

• When a new card is created and printed because of a cage split or transfer.

• When the “activate cages” check box is selected in the various applications (e.g. Quick Cards)

Cage cards are deactivated:

• When the user deactivates cards for used cages.

• When animals are transferred from one per diem, account, room, or protocol to another (and you create a new cage card).

Using Darwin, you can look for the active cage card records to report on inventory and care days. When an accounting period is closed, Darwin creates invoices by calculating the charges to the Principal Investigator’s charge account using the per diem rate and number of care days.

With the Cage Reports, you can view the current inventory data in a variety of formats.

Ensure that your facility has a process in place for activating and de-activating cards.

Ensure that your facility has a process in place for generating breeding requests within Darwin.
