+ | Synopic reporting a great way to structure information that was previously largely unstructured. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Here's a example: instead of letting a pathologist write a report in which he says that the patient's tissue shows signs of abnormally proliferating cell groups, you let him or her fill out a form with a checkbox for "TumorTissuePresent". | ||
+ | |||
+ | PMA.core supports this kind of data capture and the ability to generate forms. For more information, see the [[forms|specific section on the subject in this wiki]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Of course PMA.core isn't the only tool in the world that can do this. We acknowledge that by providing various options to integrate external meta-data into PMA.core as well. For more information on that subject, we refer to [[https://realdata.pathomation.com/how-to-handle-slide-meta-data/|our blog article]]. | ||

+ | {{::export_to_excel_2.png?200 |}}In PMA.core, much information is presented in the form of a list: users, slides, forms... | ||

+ | |||
+ | Most views in PMA.core therefore have an Excel export button in the top-right corner that allow you to export the current data as list. Go ahead and try it, and if you don't find what you're looking for, [[let us know|https://www.pathomation.com/contact]] so we can incorporate it in the next version (no promises; we'll still have to evaluate the extend to which your request would be a useful feature to have for our entire user base). | ||
