This is an important reminder for the annotation of RNAi experiments.

Please annotate the phenotype correctly after finishing the experiment. To fully annotate the phenotyp, please use the Phenotype CV field on the first page of the annotation, even if you have given a textual annotation of the phenotype. Please use No visible phenotype in case you do not see any phenotype. Please do not write "no phenotype" into the textual phenotype field because there might be an undetected phenotype anyway.

In case of "No visible phenotype" using the Phenotype CV field is sufficient, you do not need to write into the textual field then. Please use this field, because it can be used to group experiments into categories, e.g. in the RNAi gallery. 

To select a phenotoype annotation using the hierarchical select field Phenotype CV: 

• select the first level of the phenotype from the hierarchy
• optionally choose a second or third level from the hierarchy, further levels of the hierarchy are unlocked if they are available
• press Add button
• if necessary you can add multiple phenotypes
