The main form of DiversityScientificTerms contains two main areas. On the left you find the query and the results of this query. On the right part the details of a dataset selected in the result list is shown. The upper part of the data area shows the position of the current term within the hierarchy. In the lower part you find the fields for the details of a term. At the base of the window the properties, references and resources of a term are listed.
For every term one
representation can be set the preferred one, indicated by the
icon. To make a representation the preferred representation, simply click on
this icon.
For display in an interface used from other modules like DiversityCollection, e.g. via a chart, a term may have a display order, a color for the background and an image.

To set the
display color, click on the
set color button. A
window will open where you can either select an available color or
define a new one. The color will e.g. be used as background in a
chart. If depending terms should use a color of the same hue, click

button next to the image.
