How to Use the Plug Events Page
The Plug Events page is the working surface for every timed-mating study in Moustra. Each row links a mating to its observation date, computed E-Day, target harvest E-Day, harvest date, and outcome. Use it to filter your active cohorts, mark outcomes when results come in, and export data for downstream analysis.
Open the Plug Events page
Click Plug Events in the navigation menu. The page loads every plug event tied to your colony, sorted by observation date with the most recent matings at the top.
Review the columns
Each row ties to a Mating and shows: Observation Date, live E-Day, Target Harvest E-Day, computed Harvest Date, Outcome (Pregnant, Not Pregnant, or Pending), and Notes from observation.
Filter the list
Use the filters above the table to narrow by Outcome, Date Range, or Strain. Filters apply instantly and stack, so you can scope the table down to exactly the cohort you care about without scrolling.
Update an outcome
Click any row to open the plug event detail panel, then set Outcome to Pregnant or Not Pregnant once you have results (for example, after confirming pregnancy at E10). Save to update the record — the row's outcome and any downstream harvest planning update immediately.
Export filtered plug events to CSV
With your filters applied, click Export CSV above the table. Moustra exports only the currently visible rows with every column included, so the file is ready to drop into a spreadsheet or hand off to a collaborator.
