Identification
Each organism or unit may have been identified several times. The
identifications are listed in the tree under the organism as shown in
the image below. To create a new identification choose the organism from
the tree and click on the identification icon. The last
identification will always be taken as the valid one and set at the top
of the list. To insert an older identification at the base of the list
click on the 
identification to base icon.
To hide / show the identifications in the tree click on the identification icon on the right panel next to the tree.
To enter a confirmation of an identification choose it in the tree and
then click on the 
confirmation button. To move an
identification to the end or the start of the list use the 
identification down or
identification up button respectively. To delete an
identification select it in the tree and click the 
delete button. To enter details for an identification
choose it in the tree. You can then enter the details in the form
opening on the right side of the tree as shown below.
The taxonomic name of an organism can be selected from either the names
already available in DiversityCollection or from the module
DiversityTaxonNames. To choose from the local names type the
beginning of the name and click on the drop-down button
to get a list of available names. You can use
wildcards according to SQL.
To select a taxonomic name from an external database click on the 
module button. A
window will open where you can search for a
taxonomic name. For taxonomic names provided by the module
DiversityTaxonNames you can use a shortcut. Click on the 
pin button to set the source in the window that will
open. After the source is set, the pin 
and drop-down
box will change their colors as shown below to indicate that the
taxonomic names are not longer derived from the content in
DiversityCollection but from the selected DiversityTaxonNames database.
The links will be set separate for every taxonomic group and may be
changed at any time with a click on the pin button. To
release the link to the remote database, click on
the pin button and than select Cancel in the window
where you select the database. The pin will change to
gray and the data will again be derived from the local values in DiversityCollection.
For identifications linked to a DiversityTaxonNames database you may activate the Show accepted names option. Accepted names will then be shown with a green color while for synonyms the accepted name will be displayed above the current name (see below).
In the database the data for the identification is stored in the table Identification.
