Add start/end time to ad lib water administration

Open GaelleChapuis opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

Would it be possible to add a start/end time field to the ad lib water administration ? The purpose would be to check for how long a mouse is under free water (for example, when the animal is in a recovery cage).

Alternatively, we could enter a new session (with end/start time), and type of water ad lib?

I think the original though was to create one adlib WA per day under which the mouse was on free water. Wouldn't that suit the purposes ?

'one adlib WA per day' does not really suit the purpose:

In practice, we will place mouse under free water either for a fixed period of time (e.g. 1h) , either for a whole day (24h). The former case happens when a mouse drops below a mid-weight threshold, and the latter case happens when a mouse drops below a low-weight threshold. It is important to be able to distinguish between the two.

Is it clear?

we could have a new AdlibWaterAdministration class instead of a checkbox, with start_time and end_time. Or add end_time to WaterAdministration but it would make no sense for non-adlib
