14 Run-time information to Lab Users
14.1 General
When a Lab User is trying to log into a lab and when he is running some experimentation on a lab,
is sometimes a need for additional information to be displayed for the Lab User. This can for
example be general information about the current session he has booked, status information from
the Lab, help information, request for user feedback etc.
In order to improve the total quality of the system (of both the Cyberlab Portal and the Lab
application), Cyberlab has developed a Cyberlab Information Applet that can be configured for
each individual lab.
Typical information displayed in the prototype version of the applet is given in the two following
figures below.
Figure 17
Cyberlab Information applet after a successful login and after a nonsuccessful one.
In Figure 17, the applet to the left shows the typical information after a successful login to the Lab.
The applet shows the remaining time of the booked timeslot(s) together with important status
information from the lab. This status information can be useful for the Lab User if the connection
between the Lab User client application and the lab breaks down, or if there are unforeseen
problems with the Lab User client application.
The applet to the right shows the typical information after a non-successful login attempt. The
applet will then show a list with the next few booked and registered timeslots for this user at this
specific lab. The applet will then be useful for the Lab User in order to know how to proceed
