Editing the data

The header of the main form allways shows you, with which database you are working, the version of the client, the database server and your login. The area for the data entry is devided into 2 main parts. In the upper part you enter nomenclatural information and facts, in the lower part taxonomic opinions of the editors (see topic database for further informations).

To see the descriptions for the fields of the database, simply move your mouse over it. A tooltip will appear with an explanation as shown in the example below.

Where you have to choose names from lists, type the beginning of the name in the field and then click on the drop down button . This will start a query in the database and list the result in the combobox.

If a field is to small for reading its content double-click on it. A form will open, where you can edit the text.
