Overview

The caBIO iPhone Application (app) allows you to search caBIO on your iPhone or iPod Touch. This app is useful for quick searches of caBIO on the go. To use the free app, you must first download it from the App store and install it on your mobile device. A caBIO iPhone App demo is available on the app's wiki page.

Browsing caBIO

The format of the retrieved records of the caBIO iPhone Application https://wiki.nci.nih.gov/display/caBIO/caBIO+iPhone+App is nearly identical to the caBIO Portlet Simple Search tool, but the iPhone Application does not auto-generate a list of caBIO terms that match the characters you have entered. In addition, the maximum number of retrieved search results is 200, which you may increase from the default value of 25 by tapping the Options button at the bottom right of the GUI. Thus, this application is useful for quick searches of caBIO on the go.

To view Cancer Gene Index data, type a gene, disease, or compound/agent term into the text field at top and tap Search. Because caBIO iPhone application does not currently offer a list of suggested search terms based upon the characters you have entered, you may have difficulty retrieving results for your exact desired term. If this is the case, try using more general the special character "*" that retrieves results will have zero or more characters in place of the asterisk, or the special character ? which retrieves results with exactly one character in place of the question mark (e.g., hodg* for Hodgkin's lymphoma or brca? for BRCA1 and BRCA2).

The app will retrieve caBIO object records that match your search term and provide an unsorted list of objects. Two or three pieces of information will be shown for each retrieved object : the object name in blue text, miscellaneous data specific to the object's type in black text (this may or may not be provided), and the class name in green text. Tap on any row to view the object's Attributes and Associations with other objects. The Simple view returns at most You can view all of the object's attributes and data by clicking on the blue object name link.

The maximum number of retrieved search results is 200, which you may increase from the default value of 25 by tapping the Options button at the bottom right of the GUI.

Image AddedSearch terms may be entered into the text field at the top of the screen. As with other graphical user interfaces, the application will retrieve object records and group them by type. Tapping any row or link allows end users to view associations between or among classes. The caBIO API release or the number of retrieved results displayed per page may be adjusted in "Options."
