Dashboard

Use the document dashboard on the right side of the PLA 3.0 main window to get an overview of your document data and view recent changes. In the case of biological assay documents, the dashboard shows document definitions and a graphical summary of calculation results.

Overview

On the action bar, the Dashboard is the top-most entry.

The contents and layout of the Dashboard depend on the document type and the status of the document. For example, after a biological assay has been calculated, PLA 3.0 displays a graphical summary of the calculation results. The contents are organized in sections. You can collapse and expand each section by clicking on the section header.

Navigation tabs

On the upper right of the Dashboard there are 3 tabs for navigation. Select the tab to open it.

Item Description

Definition

Shows how the document is set up. Depending on the document type, you can find information about the setup of your assay, the working concentrations you defined, suitability tests, the assay's plate layout, and the setup of charts. Some of these sections can have additional filtering options (at the upper right of the section).

Results

Shows the results of the calculation. Depending on the document type, you can find information about various results or statistics. Some of these sections can have additional filtering options (at the upper right of the section).
