In the eLabFTW Community Meeting, we focused on templates and the ways in which they can help improve the consistency, efficiency, and quality of research documentation.
First, Nicolas Carpi gave an overview of how to use templates. He showed how to add categories, statuses, tags, text, custom fields, grouped fields, units, steps, attachments, links, and permissions. He also showed how some steps or permissions can be locked, and explained that entries created from templates can be set to inherit permissions automatically. Finally, he discussed creating a template directly from an existing experiment or resource, duplicating templates without edit access, and loading additional custom fields into existing entries.
eLabFTW 6.0 is here (or maybe will be here if you are reading this before the final release)!
This is a major release, with a few breaking changes. Make sure to read our post explaining why we introduced breaking changes in this release.
This post is about the new features and the fixed issues that are contained in this new release.
eLabFTW is a living project — “stable” should not be taken to mean that it is no longer evolving. Version 6.0.0 is production-ready, but minor bugs will surface once it is in wide use, and patches will follow.
