Using the System as a Trainee A Trainee needs an SSL Client Certificate to access the EBR Logbook. The Certificate is sent to him by the EBR Logbook Administrator by e-mail with a document describing the procedure for installing the certificate for different browsers. The system has been tested with Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0 Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.7 Safari 2.0.4 Opera 9 and Netscape 7 should also work. Accessing the EBR Logbook Installing the certificate When the trainee has been setup with the EBR logbook he ll receive two e-mails. One contains the SSL certificate as an attachment and looks like this: Tom Trainee, please find attached the SSL client certificate for your access to European Board of Radiotherapy Logbook. You might want to follow the instructions for certificate installation that where made available to you. If you didn't receive the description on how to install the attached SSL client certificate yet, please contact ESTRO (http://www.estro.be) to obtain this information which is necessary for your progress in this matter. Your European Board of Radiotherapy Logbook system administrator The other e-mail contains the initial username and password and looks like this: Tom Trainee, I have setup an account for you with the European Board of Radiotherapy Logbook System. You can access the system via the URL: http://estro-logbook.estro.be/be/estro/euralog/index.php To access you need a) to install the certificate that was sent to you with your browser.

If you need assistance with installing the certificate you might want to call me at +49 2154 811-480 or follow the link to the SSL Certificate Installation Manual which was sent to you in the other email. b) b) to enter your username and password: Username: Tom.Trainee@DE-TestCentre Password: 2fast4u Wolfgang Fahl X:\Projekte\2005\EURALOG2005\doc\EBRLogbookUsage_en2008-07-26.doc Autor: wf Seite 3 von 24
Visiting the web application The EBR Logbook is a web based application. It can be accessed by entering the start-url of it in any browser that is compatible with it. The start-url for accessing the EBR Logbook is http://estro-logbook.estro.be/be/estro/euralog/index.php The initial access to the system may be via HTTP but as soon as the trainee logs in the connection is switch to the secure HTTPS.

CV In the EBR Logbook Systems a CV consists of two parts, one are the ExperienceEvents (which are new non tumor related experiences [publication, presentation held yourself, teaching lecture, teaching course, short clinical observation, ] the trainee has made) and the other is the actual CV which can be entered in the Log details (see Changing the Logbook base information). Formatting the CV in the Log form The first part of the CV, which is the actual CV containing a summary of academic and professional history and achievements can be entered in the Log form. To get there you might want to follow the Changing the Logbook base information instructions. In the CV Field text can be pasted and entered like in WordPad. Even formated text from Word pasted there will keep most of its formatation like headings, bold or italic text. As already mentioned the user interface is very similar to Word or WordPad, so if you already have experiences in using Word Processors it should be very easy to use this editor. There are two tabs WYSIWYG View and Code View. For a normal user only the WYSIWYG View is interesting. If you accidently got on the Code View just click on WYSIWYG View to get back to the normal editing mode. For administrators or users with at least basic HTML knowledge the Code view can be very interesting because it offers more atvanced formatting using HTML tags.

Using Help In the form screens there is a help Icon available description for the current form like: Help for the Log:. Clicking on this icon displays a short help Help for the Logentries: Errors and Problems The system makes a difference between Problems and Errors. A Problem is a situation that arises from the data entered into the system or the way the system is used. Problems can usually be avoid by the user and or system administrator by making valid data available or doing valid actions. An Error is a situation where the system fails to work as intended and shows a message about the reasons for this situation. How to handle Errors and Problems For problems you might want to follow the hint that is given in the message for the problem. E.g. if the message is The login is invalid please check username and password! you might want to check that you spelled the username and password for your account correctly and retry login in with the correctly spelled username and password. If the system asks you to contact the system administrator you might want to get in touch with the system administrator by e-mail and or phone. In case of an error you might want to contact the system administrator with a copy of the message that was shown to you and a description of the steps that led to the error situation.
