The tutorial in this chapter shows how to complete sections of a Substance dataset. Sample data and instructions are given for
Introduction
A IUCLID dataset is structured into 13 main sections. Many of these sections are further broken down to subsections as exemplified in the following screenshot:
There is a striking difference as regards data entry between sections 1 - 3 and sections 4 -13 as follows:
Sections 1 - 3: Data are entered directly into the subsections and all sections 1 to 3 are physically managed as one record. No further records can be created.
Sections 4 -13: Data can only be entered into Endpoint study records or Endpoint summary records, which have to be created by the user.
This is illustrated on the user interface by different symbols: any
title of subsections within sections 1 to 3 are preceded by a green or red
leaf symbol 
, while any record in sections 4 to 13 is indicated by
a green bullet 
. For more information see chapter D.4.6.1 Differences between sections 0 - 3 and sections 4 -
13.
Note
Section 0 Related Information contains special information on Templates, Categories and Mixtures and is not considered in this sample session for beginners, which explains the features and functions that are most commonly used for editing a Substance dataset based on hands-on examples.
Workflow
To edit and complete a Substance dataset the following workflow applies:
Open the Substance dataset.
Expand the section tree to display the subsections.
Customise the view mode, i.e. display the sections required for a given regulatory programme.
Complete sections 1, 2 and 3 as appropriate.
Complete the Endpoint sections 4 to 13 as far as required.
