Short DUO Overview
hints for beamline managers/instrument responsibles
The Digital User Office DUO has been launched at SINQ in April 2005 in order to simplify the user organisation and to unify the procedures for the users of the PSI user labs (at the Swiss Light Source SLS the system is already in operation since 2001). Registered users of the facility now have the possibility to submit their proposals online through a web interface. Publications and (later on) also experimental reports can be registered online, the users can subscribe to mailing lists to get informed about SINQ related items and they can manage their own personal account and update any change in their addresses easily.
In the following some useful tipps and tricks will be listed. If you have any question about the new system, please feel free to contact the PSI user office.
