Navigating GGCE

GGCE is accessible from your phone, tablet, or computer using any modern web browser, for example, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari.

Information you will need​

Determine the following information for the GGCE database that you will be using. To use your organization’s database, your user credentials must be registered by your organization’s GGCE administrator. You will need a username and password to log in. Additionally, you must know your organization’s GGCE server URL (for example, https://demo.ggce.genesys-pgr.org). To get started, load this URL in a browser window.

If you encounter any issues or need assistance with accessing or using GGCE, your genebank’s GGCE administrator is the designated contact who can help you.

  1. URL for your genebank’s GGCE
  2. Your login credentials (username and password)
Add a bookmark

After the GGCE home page loads, you may want to bookmark it for future reference. In many browsers, CTRL+D will create a bookmark.

Logging in​

The Login screen will be similar to the following:

Logging in

At the Sign in window, enter the Username and Password assigned to you, then click the Login button or press Enter to proceed.

Resetting your password​

After your account has been created, you can change your password. Near the bottom of the Sign in window is a Forgot password link. Click the link to display the Reset password form. Enter your username and then click the Send password reset link button to receive instructions for resetting your password.

Resetting your password

Why can't I set the password directly?

Using the Reset password function ensures that you still have access to the configured email account.

Password requirements​

In the default configuration, a password requires a minimum of 8 characters with at least 1 uppercase letter, 1 lowercase letter, and 1 special character. These constraints are managed by your GGCE Administrator.

Logging out​

On the left menu, click on the Logout option. If Logout isn’t visible, click on the menu’s Home link. Depending on your browser and your screen resolution, you may need to scroll down to display the Logout option.

Changing the language​

On the initial GGCE screen, you can select the language of the user interface. Presently, GGCE has eight languages from which to select. English is selected by default, but you can use the dropdown to select the language you prefer.

Language of the user interface

General interface notes​

GGCE windows are divided into two distinct areas: a left menu and a right panel. Selecting a menu option determines the content displayed in the right panel – often a grid listing many items, but not always.

Landing page for logged in users

GGCE initially opens to a home page, displaying a main menu in the left panel and many buttons on the window’s right side. It may be necessary to scroll the window to display buttons related to the task you intend to undertake.

info

Note: Browser windows can be resized using a keyboard combination: CTRL and + will generally enlarge the font size and reduce the number of visible buttons, whereas CTRL and - will reduce the font size and allow more buttons to be visible.

To begin a task, scroll through the landing page to your desired task’s corresponding button and click the button to proceed to the next screen. Alternatively, click on a link in the left menu to navigate directly to a specific section.

The left menu makes it possible to quickly display a corresponding section in GGCE.

info

Not all users will see the same menu items. As GGCE has been designed for different types of users, the menu adapts based on user permissions. For example, a GGCE administrator will have access to additional options not visible to standard users.
