Getting started
Access the Interpretation Portal¶
The GMS Interpretation Portal can be accessed by users on the HSCN network and using their NHS Smart card. To log in, click Login with NGIS AD Credentials and use your smart card credentials, which will have been set up by the Genomics England Service Desk.
Access the GMS Interpretation Portal
If you have already logged in to another NGIS application, you will not be required to log in again. Additionally, user activity in other NGIS services will now refresh the access token.
Did you encounter any login issues?
If you encountered any login issues, please try the following:
- Ensure you are connected to the HSCN and your NHS Smart card is connected.
- Try logging out and then logging back in.
- Contact the Genomics England service desk desk if problems persist.
If you require user access, please follow local GLH procedures.
Did your session expire?
Users will be logged out of all NGIS applications after 15 minutes of inactivity. If a user is logged out after 15 minutes of inactivity or the NHS Smart card is removed, the page will prompt the user to log back in and return to the page the user was last on.
A user's login token will be refreshed (and therefore the 15-minute timeout will be reset) with any of the following actions:
- Opening a Rare Disease case
- Opening a Cancer case
- Opening the tiering browser in a Rare Disease case
- Saving a draft summary of findings
- Clicking the "Review Cases" button
- Downloading a file
If a user has been logged into the NGIS system for longer than 12 hours, they will also be required to re-authenticate.
Find a Referral¶
The GMS Interpretation Portal has six tabs representing case statuses, with each tab containing a Case Grid, where users can find a specific referral through this interface.
Interpret your referral¶
Once you've successfully logged in, and you understand how to use the Case Grid, please refer to the following sections for further information on how to perform an interpretation for a case:
