Details on documents and templates, the data editors and the Content editor of PLA 3.0.
PLA 3.0 securely stores all your data within electronic documents. Documents are organized within a database and presented through a folder tree for easy navigation and access. Your data remains complete, accurate, and consistent throughout its life cycle, thus ensuring data integrity.
Learn how you manage documents within PLA 3.0, including renaming, importing and exporting, calculating, and signing documents.
Set up your document by entering values for document elements.
Explore PLA 3.0, its key features and ongoing enhancements. Learn how it fits into your environment, and how to log in and register.
PLA 3.0 supports you in your daily work by providing a set of graphical and textual user interface elements. Learn about the different elements and how to use them efficiently.
Create a document to store your data.
You can rename a document anytime. As documents are identified by their document keys, renaming a document does not impact existing references.
Open a document to change its setup, enter observation data, or perform document-related actions.
Set up your document by entering values for document elements. For some elements, you can enter a value such as text, or a date. Other elements serve to provide structure for subelements.
Some elements require a reference to another element. This allows you to set up an element once and reuse it several times within the same document.
Some document types let you choose between different options for elements. These options are mutually exclusive, that is, you can only select one alternative at a time.
If supported by the document version, you can manually add attachments to a document. Examples of manually added attachments are reports and Standard Operation Procedures.
Use barcodes for convenient exchange of document data and to organize your database. You can use them as labels for your documents and for attaching reports to documents based on the barcode included in the report.
Create folders and subfolders to organize your documents and to set up a folder tree that suits your needs. Move, copy and delete folders and documents to adapt your folder tree if required. Organizing documents requires sufficient permissions.
The action bar of PLA 3.0 provides a set of actions you can perform on documents and document data. The actions you can perform depend on the document type.
Document properties include general information such as document type, date of creation, and signature details. They also include the property keys available for data aggregation and the label of a document in the form of a barcode.
Use templates to simplify tasks, standardize processes, and improve data security. Define document structures and initial values for documents, and control who can view and edit document sections and individual elements within documents.
Data tables in PLA 3.0 act as containers for observation data or referenced data. You use them to configure the display of observation data and to set up automated data flows between PLA 3.0 documents, thus minimizing the need for manual interaction.
PLA 3.0 can handle a wide range of plate layouts and is not restricted to any particular format. Position factors in PLA 3.0 support you in defining plate layouts. They let you associate your observation data in PLA 3.0 with its physical location on a plate or rack.
Data aggregation in PLA 3.0 lets you automatically transfer data and results from source to target PLA 3.0 documents, thus supporting complex and compliant operations. Manually entering data in spreadsheets or other programs is not necessary.
Data analysis add-ons offer a wide range of capabilities, ranging from analytical methods over comprehensive analysis to statistical process control. PLA 3.0 also provides a set of add-ons that support and supplement data analysis add-ons.
Use data acquisition and data import add-ons to import external response values and observation data into PLA 3.0 for further processing and evaluation.
