This feature enables to search and edit specific specimen data. You can either search for a specific individual entering a unique ID or you can use taxonomic information or collection details to get a list of all entries matching your request. You can then choose a particular individual from the list appearing and change or add its information details. This might be necessary when the taxonomy has changed or if you want to add information on newly amplified fragments.

Here you can either use taxonomic information or collection details to search for specific specimens. Using other information instead of a unique UnitID, you might deliver several hits. If you get a large number of results, the appearing list can be sorted by 'Voucher ID/ Specimen', 'No Collection', 'Institution' or 'Taxon'.

If you click on one of the hits you will get back to the data input form and can review all data for this particular voucher, and by clicking on the 'Edit Dataset' button make changes on any entries you want to change. By then clicking on 'Save Specimen' the previous data will be overwrited with the new information.

Search and Edit Tool

Main menu

This feature enables to search and edit specific specimen data. You can either search for a specific individual entering a unique ID or you can use taxonomic information or collection details to get a list of all entries matching your request. You can then choose a particular individual from the list appearing and change or add its information details. This might be necessary when the taxonomy has changed or if you want to add information on newly amplified fragments.

Once you have successfully logged in, click “Search”.

Specimen Details

Here you can either use taxonomic information or collection details to search for specific specimens. Using other information instead of a unique UnitID, you might deliver several hits. If you get a large number of results, the appearing list can be sorted by 'Voucher ID/ Specimen', 'No Collection', 'Institution' or 'Taxon'.

If you click on one of the hits you will get back to the data input form and can review all data for this particular voucher, and by clicking on the 'Edit Dataset' button make changes on any entries you want to change. By then clicking on 'Save Specimen' the previous data will be overwrited with the new information.
