Elements of the Navigation Bar​

  • Dashboard: Overview and visualization of all available data
  • Ausbruchsanalyse: Dedicated module for analyzing outbreaks in detail
  • Datenmanagement: Import of case, sequence, and contact data as well as data maintenance and storage settings
  • Hilfe: Access to support information, tutorials, and documentation

On the right-hand side of the navigation bar, three key actions are available:

  • Zustand importieren: Load a previously saved JSON file to restore your local working state.
  • Zustand speichern: Export the current application state as a JSON file to back up your data.
  • Pathogen-Auswahl: Choose the pathogen for which you wish to import and analyze data.

Using the Buttons​

🗂️ Import State​

  1. Click Zustand importieren:
  2. Select the previously exported JSON file.
  3. After a successful import, you will receive a confirmation message (toast), and the application will automatically load the imported data.

💾 Save State​

  1. Click Zustand speichern:
  2. Your browser will download a JSON file containing the current local state.
    Keep this file safe to restore your working environment later.

🧫 Switch Pathogen​

  1. Click the Pathogen menu (on the right side of the navigation bar).
  2. Select the desired pathogen.

Error Cases & Tips​

  • ⚠️ Import failed:
    Ensure that the selected file is a valid GENTRAIN export JSON.
    If the issue persists, review the error message displayed in the application.

  • 📁 Lost export file:
    Without a saved export file, your individual local state cannot be restored.
    It is strongly recommended to back up your work regularly.

💡 Tip:
Regularly use the import and export functions to back up your work and continue seamlessly across different sessions.
