BMS 5.0-6.0 Tutorials

Summary

This tutorial describes how a trainee accesses a BMS educational application and restores their database with maize example data. The tutorial also explains how to browse and create germplasm lists.

Access BMS Educational App

Trainees can access the BMS educational application after the demo administrator establishes their roles and permissions in the system. The demo administer will share a web link with the trainee, perhaps via email.

  • Follow the link to establish a password.

Set Your Password

The temporary url link sent to your email, leads to a page where you can set or reset your password.

  • Enter your password twice and select Reset Password.
  • Bookmark or save the url corresponding to the server installation of the BMS for future access.

Login

The BMS will automatically log out inactive users.

  • Login to the BMS by navigating to the url and entering username and password. Select Remember Me if you want to automate login from your computer. Select Sign In.

Forgot Password

Select "Can't login?". Enter your username and email. You will receive an email to reset you password.

Program Overview

Notice that 3 lists of example germplasm are available (If the example germplasm lists are not available, see instructions above for self-directed demonstrations or contact your workshop leader.)
