The workflow module permits the storage of planned services from service packages and the allocation of complete workflows of a case, a group and an experiment. Triggered by an event, the services defined in the workflow module will appear in the order list where the users can build their individual work lists to carry out order positions. The work list can be used purely as a printout, can be operated directly on the terminal or can be transferred to analysers. All status information on services can be seen in the service recording module of each animal.
