Tutorial - Creation of a new data set

For an introduction see a short tutorial . To enter a new data set click on the button in the upper left panel (see point 1 in image below). In case of accession numbers being available in the database, the software will ask whether you wish to take the next free number (see accession for further information). If you click on the OK button, the program will try to find the next free accession number starting with your current accession number.

Finally you will find a new entry in the specimen list on the left and the trees for the specimen (see point 2 in image below) and the storage as shown below.  

 

If you did not specify an accession number, the entries will look like in the image above. Otherwise the accession number will be shown. To enter your data for the specimen click on the entry in the upper tree as shown below (see point 3 in image below). This will open the fields where you may enter the details for the specimen in the area on the right of the tree (see point 4 in image below).

  

In the panel in the middle of the form several buttons will appear where you may enter additional information for this specimen.

With these buttons you may enter information for the:
- CollectionEvent
- CollectionSpecimen
- Relation between specimen
- Organisms and identifications
