Onbly those categories for which there are objects are selectable. Those sets which changed since teh last seisson report are preselected. The session reports can be treated like regular fact sheets.
Cage card view. In the rack window you find a new button "Card view" just beneath the "Overview" button. Clicking this button brings up a window in which you see a different graphical representation of one side of the actual rack. But here each cage is represented by it's cage card.

V 5.0

Service group.
Mouse cohorts.
Owner groups. The guru can define groups of users which can be used as owners of mice like normal users. But you can alter these groups afterwards. The ownership is always determined on the fly. So for a given user Mausoleum checks the three possibilities for a a mouse ownership:
1. The mouse has no defined owner. In this case all users of this group own this mouse (if this is possible for the given user)
2. The user is a defined owner of this mouse
3. The user is part of an owner group which is defined as owner of this mouse
Security level for rooms. In general Mausoleum does not like transfers of mice between different rooms which have a defined security level. Nothing changes if the mice are not sitting in a room with a defined security level or if they are not moved in to a room with a defined security level. But if mice are tranferred between rooms with defined security level you will get an Mouse Pope Alert and an email is sent to the responsible people. If the security of the target room is higher the user has to justify the transfer by a comment which is appended to the mail.
Pool area can be used also for cages
More than one cage can be dragged to transfer area or pool area
Colors in tables can be chosen using "Arrange columns"

The user can define via the Preferences which color modes are needed and also can set the order inwhich they are presented in the selection boxes.

V 4.24.12

Import of new group from demo data

V 4.24.11

Demo creation improved. ZIP file exchangeable with Apple systems
Minor GUI changes

V 4.24.10

Added a little tolerance to the father determination. The general rules still apply:
The rules are as follows:
1. If we find a unique candidate take this
2. If there are more possible candidates let the user decide which one
3. If we find no candidate the user can chose from mature cage mate(s). Was included because there could be an error in the date of the mouse transfer or the user imported a couple which was already in a mating in the group from which it was exported.
4. If there is still no candidate the user can choose from all actual male mice which were mature at the date of conception
5. If also there was no possible father (resp. the user didn't choose one) the litter i screated without father
Options 2, 3 and 4 are only possible with certain privileges which are available only for guru, master (2, 3, 4) or cartaker (only 2)
But the primary candidate determination was a bit too strict in some cases. The begin of the "hot phase" is assumed to be 28 days before delivery and ends 16 days before delivery. If no potential father could be found Mausoleum tries day by day for additional 6 days. If there is a unique candidate this one is chosen. Otherwise the above mentioned rules b) to e) apply.
The Administrator can prepare demo versions of Mausoleum with the data of individual groups. This gives you the possibility to give this demo versions to new lab members to become a bit familiar with Mausoleum without modifying your actual data
Strains can also have a specific color
New color mode: Strain
New color mode: Line/Strain. This color mode is a bit peculiar. The color at first hand is determined by the mouse line. If it is a breeder mouse the strain color is used. But this color is then surrounded by a grey border.
Demo version is visualized in Scrollpanes

CIBIR printers show multiple lines per parent in mating cages if one line is too small for the information
Strains can be defined as a mixture (e. g. if you want to set a strain of an imported mouse to 50% BalbC and 50% C57)
While creating a litter with a strain micture mother's strains will be the first ones shown for the pup

V 4.24.8

Intercross report can now be generated also between different lines (actually it can be an intracross report). Results are shown in a table ordered by line and genotype of the pups.

Generation markers can be set for each mouse. They can be viewed in the mouse tables as P, F1, F2... by selecting the appropriate column. While generating a litter Mausoleum calculates the generation of the offspring. If you defined the generation of an animal this number will be displayed. Otherwise the generation is calculated from the generation markers of mum and dad if available. If there are differences (e. g. you cross a F2 with a F5) the generation marker of the offspring is the the largest number from the parents + 1. But the generation markers of the parents will be displayed in this case.
Individual standard task can be defined with automatic completion by setting a result for a given experiment
Tasks are shown for all mice which can be modified. Even if a different favorite is set.
In Task list and Schedule you have a separate mouse table which shows the mice of the selected tasks. You can change their attributes directly from there.

Session protocols are revised. As a Guru you select the User and click on "Show sessions". In the resulting window you see a list of all sessions from this user. You see the session with commands in bold. Clicking on one of these sessions shows in the panel on the right hand side all the commands performed during that session.
Licenses can be specified with Attributes like license holder, start and end of validity and maximum mouse count. You can also specify the users, who might use the respective license. In the Mouse inspector you find an extra button in the "Attributes" tab where you can specify the license for the selected mouse. The License table shows you the maximum number the used number and remaining number of mice as well as the killed, died and exported mice for the licenses.
Documents can be attached to Rooms, Loci, Lines, Strains, Experiments and Licenses. These document can be seen in the "Documents" tab of the respective inspector. You can download the selected documents to the client computer.
Finetuning of user privileges. The privileges of a user can be seen on a very basal level in the "Privileges"-tab of the user inspector. The Guru can selectively remove any of those privileges for the other users. E. g. A caretaker might have the permission to specify the eartag but not the genotype.
You can specify a time preference for Tasks (morning, noon, afternoon etc...)
In the Task window you will find in a second tab a schedule of all your pending tasks. You can specify the time period (i. e. how many days from today on) should be shown. You can also get printout. If you select a task you will see the details of the task in task table below the schedule.
You can change the due date and time preference of tasks (if you are issuer of the task or Guru) in the schedule tab by drag and drop.
Additional standard tasks can be defined and edited in a third tab of the Task window. You can specify the description of the task, whether the task can be assigned to male, female, unset or any mouse and the action by which the task is automatically finished.
Also task bundles can be defined. You can select two or more standard tasks and declare this bundle as a new standard task. You can then specify a day offset and a time preference (morning, afternoon etc.) for each of the primary tasks. If you later set such a task-bundle to a mouse several tasks are created for each of the primary task at the selected date plus the day offset specified before.
Improved determination of father during littering. The rules are as follows:
1. If we find a unique candidate take this
2. If there are more possible candidates let the user decide which one
3. If we find no candidate the user can chose from mature cage mate(s). Was included because there could be an error in the date of the mouse transfer or the user imported a couple which was already in a mating in the group from which it was exported.
4. If there is still no candidate the user can choose from all actual male mice which were mature at the date of conception
5. If also there was no possible father (resp. the user didn't choose one) the litter i screated without father
