Incidents of connexion.
The difficulties of connection are almost always related to a problem of configuration and safety on your computer. Note the following points :
- Your
Internet Explorer version have to be higher ou equal to IE 5.5 preferably
IE 7.0.
To verify your version, open Internet Explorer. Clic on ? of the menu then on "About Internet explorer".
The dialbox open and give you information about your version (above in french).
- For a correct running of the application, it is essential that your PC is configured to accept cookies ("Option" of "Option Internet").
- PARTICULAR CASE : If you are a user of AOL explorer , we advise you to observe the following procedure :
- Connect you to Internet with AOL Explorer .
- Launch Microsoft Internet Explorer
- You can have access to the Bipea site http://www.bipea.org from this classical explorer (IE) .
- Some Firewalls (software or hardware) may block the access to our Extranet. If you have a firewall and you are blocked when you reach the Member Area or when you reach the Service Management Application, do the test again, after disabling it. Be careful, some Modem of new generation may integrate a FireWall.
- Some Anti Popup applications may block the access to our Extranet. If you have one of these softs and you are blocked when you reach the Member Area or the Service Management Application, do the test again, after disabling it.
- In
all the cases, we advise you to make these modifications only during the time
of connection and to consult your qualified service (or your Internet provider)
if the incidents continue.
FILL IN, VALIDATION AND SENDING OF THE FORMS.
Information about identifiants and passwords.
- Using internet and the obligation of the respect of confidentiality imply the respect of the access security. The most appopriate mean is the use of passwords and codes. For this application, you will have to know three codes or passwords.
- To
access to the forms management :
- Member Code : 5 numbers code generally 1XXXX.
- INPUT Password : It allows you to fill in the form and begins with SAISIE
- SENDING Password: It allows the laboratory manager to validate the forms after input and to Send them to Bipea. It begins with ENVOI.
- Be careful : for the codes and passwords, always respect capital and small letters.
|
Step 1: click on Access Member Area.
|
Step
2: Consult
the forms to be filled in.
Enter the member code and the Input code (SAISIExxx)
on the identification screen.
- The application manages, from your
member code and the date, the available forms. It depends on :
- Your participations to the P.T.Schemes.
- The date of the sending of the samples.
- A form appears online automatically the day after the sending of the sample.
- It is automatically suppressed the days after the deadline.
- Note
: Even if the
forms can be filled in until the deadline, we hardly advise you not to wait
for the last day to send your results. So you will avoid risks of incidents on Internet or saturation of the servers.
 |
Step 3 : Choose your form
|
If you want to print your form to write the résults, we advise you to use the IMPRIMER/PRINT at the bottom of the form.
In every case, now you can control your print :
(just before the buttons and comments),
your form is not completeStep 4 : Fill in your form.
Input the last 4 numbers of your sample code and the parcel reception date.
- BE CAREFUL : As on paper forms, every mistake on the sample code makes your form non valid because of a traceability loss. There is no "a priori" control by the application.
- IMPORTANT : If your result is expressed compared with a limit of detection or quantification, you must IMPERATIVELY select, in the drop-down menu preceding the box, <, >, LD or LQ, and then OBLIGATORILY indicate the value of your limit of detection or quantification in the results box.
Thus, for example, results of the type = < 0.001 are regarded as non conformable.
= Conformable !
= Non-conformable !
- Few advice for filling in :
- The Tab key allows you to move from case to case..
- The Enter key allows you to save the form at any moment.
- You can find the usual different elements, choice of methods, informations about units, orange grids with box format (number before and after decimal point has to be respected).
- Remarks :
- The square case does not replace the comma. The comma (or decimal point) must be entered if your result includes one.
- When the analytical criterion includes a method code, this code MUST be input. If it is not, the application will send you back an error message when saving (a red vertical mark is indicating the mistake). If your method is not listed, you will find the choice "other methods" (z).
- Note : When filling in, the numbers are not aligned to the boxes. This difference is bound to an eventual negative sign before the number. You can :
- Either input the numbers naturally in the left side (like bellow),
- Either put a space before to align them to the box,
- Or insert 0 before.
- In each case, after saving, the alignment is automatically corrected !
- The form can be filled in using as any sessions as you want. It is just necessary to always think of saving before you quit the form.
- The person who inputs the results can write remarks for the one who validates and sends. These remarks are not accessible by Bipea.
- Save/Sauvegarder, allows you to keep the filled form in memory on a special buffer base. Bipea has no access to that area.
- You can Print (Imprimer) the form at every moment.
- Back(/Retour)allows you to go back to the list of available forms. If you click on Back without saving, you will loose all your modifications !
 |
Step 5 : Send your form to Bipea.
|
- When validating a form, it is not possible to change the results directly. You have to quit and come back to the input area to modify it.
- Do not forget to write your name out in full. It is the electronic equivalent of your visa on the paper forms.
- After verifying, you can send the form by clicking ont the button "Send to Bipea (/ Transmettre au Bipea)".
- After clicking on the button Send to Bipea(/Transmettre au BIPEA), a dialogue box informs you that the sending is definitive. Click on Ok ! and you will receive a transaction number. It is shown at the top of the forms in white color on blue background. PRINT IT ! It will be asked in case of an eventual dispute about these results or their sending.
- Now, you have sent your results to Bipea. They have been transfered on our work base, where they will be validated and treated.
