Maintenance

To open the maintenance form choose Administration - Maintenance ... from the menu. With the maintenance functions you can update values cached from other modules or external webservices. DiversityCollection can be linked with several other modules of the DiversityWorkbench. If you link a data source to another module, the URI of the data set in the other module together with one or several cached values will be stored in DiversityCollection. Due to changes in the source modules these cached values may differ from the original values. To get the actual values you can use the synchronize functions for taxonomic names, family and orders, people, exsiccatal series, geographical names and references. Further functions provided by maintenance are a search for duplicate accession numbers, the insert of updated taxonomic names, the removal of orphaned CollectionEventSeries and CollectionEvents etc., the search for additional geographical information based on WGS84 coordinates and the conversion of coordinate systems.

With the button   you can set the timeout for critical queries used within maintenance and feedbacks can be sent with the button .
