This Quick start guide (QGS) has been set up as a guide to help you start using Katmandoo.
The QSG will work through the processes demonstrating how to add Data and how to configure Katmandoo to your organisation needs.
The
QSG uses Demonstration data that has been installed in the Katmandoo
files in the “DemoData” folder, (…Katmandoo\DemoData).
(The data in these files are for demonstration purposes only)
For the purpose of this guide we will login using the “Katmandoo2_2” Data base at login and use the default login
User Name; dba
Password; rescue12
After login in please take a few minutes to explore the basic layout of Katmandoo.
Looking at “Tools Menu” will give you an introduction to the main screen and the various Menus and controls.
It
is important to famimlarize yourself with the Navigators, these are
shortcuts to the marjor screens in Katmandoo. (see link below)
The Navigators will be referred to though out the tutorial.
The
Guide will begin with setting up a new Sub-system and will finish by
setting up a new system user so you can login using your own user
Name and password.
The Quick Start Guide
does not cover all the different tools and options that Katmandoo has.
To read a more detailed induction please refer to Help Manual.
The
Help manual can be accessed by pressing the "F1" button on your
keyboard at any time while you are in Katmandoo. This will bring up the
help menu for the screen you are currently in.

To add a new sub system we have to copy the data from the "template sub-system"
The system has been setup with a template database "Sub-system
template". In this tutorial we will add a Sub-system called
Demo.
Click on this link to
Add
a new Sub-system.Once we have added a new Sub-system we can add the
required data in to the Demo Sub-system so we can setup a
system User Id.
This will enable a user to log into
Katmandoo at start up under their own login name and password and with the appropriate level of security set for that user.
This reqires us to
Add a system user . We have to add "user data" to be able to add the new user.
The first step in adding a system user is to add the users details, this can
included the oranganisation, location (we can use the default "unknown" if we want), and other details if required.
- See Add
contacts , in
this case we will only need to add a single contact but you can import
more than one contact at a time using data in an excel spread sheet. see Import Contacts
In this case we will add a single oranganisation
and location for demostration purpose. Later on we will demonstrate bulk
imports of this data.
- The organization that the user is from, Add
Single
Organization. (note organizations can be
imported as a bulk
import see, Bulk
Import
organizations)
- The Location of the user, Add
Single
Location (note the Locations can be imported as
a bulk
import see, Bulk
Import
Locations)
Note : Katmandoo has
been setup to
use Location as a main working tool. Each trial Unit is linked to a location using its
site.
Once this information has been added we can
Add
system User.
- In Sumary, before we add trial data we must first add the
following Administration sections of the data system
Before we
can add trial data
we must add an organization,
location
and a
site
of the Trial Unit
We also need to have
Genotypes, before we can add Trial sample data. see
Import Genotypes
Then we can use following processes to import/export trial data.
