This tutorial will
guide you through the first
basic steps to enter a single data set in DiversityCollection.
After the installation,
make sure you have access to the
database. To start
the program double click on the
DiversityCollection.exe in the directory where you copied the
files of DiversityCollection.
The main window will open.
If you open this window for
the first time, you need
to connect to the database. Click on the
button or choose Connection ->
Database... from the menu. A
window will open where you may enter your account
information and choose the database
(see image below, for further information see database access). See a short
tutorial
.
After connecting to the
server and choosing a database
click on the OK button to return to the
main form. As indicated by the
symbol in the right upper corner, you are now connected to
the database. The
tooltip of the
button will
show your current login information (see below).
