Event Series

If you need a hierarchical order of your CollectionEvents or want to organize several CollectionEvents, for example to document expeditions, you can achieve this with a CollectionEventSeries. For more detailed information about CollectionEventSeries see the section CollectionEventSeries.

Create a new EventSeries

  1. To create a new EventSeries select the ColletionEvent in the specimen tree (see point 1 in the image below).
  2. Click on button Add a new event series (see point 2 in the screenshot below).

 

  1. The entry for the new EventSeries appears in the tree view (see point 3 in the image below).

    • If the new EventSeries is not displayed in the tree view, click the button Show parent event series to the right of the tree view.  

  2. Select the CollectionEventSeries entry in the tree view to enter the details for this EventSeries (see point 4 in the image below).

 

  1. To enter the date of the CollectionEventSeries, click the dropdown button to open a calendar where you can select the date.

  2. Next, enter the description of the location (see point 6 in the image below).

  3. To save the data entered so far, click the button.

Create hierarchies of CollectionEvents and CollectionEventSeries

Events and event series can be organized hierarchically.

Create a new CollectionEventSeries hierarchy

To create a hierarchy for your CollectionEvents and CollectionEventSeries, select the created EventSeries in the tree (see step 1 in the image above).

  1. Before adding a new event series, change the page view of the tree. Click the button in the top left corner next to the tree view and select Show event hierarchy.
  2. Select the EventSeries in the tree. In our example Mehrere Sammlungen.
  3. Add a second EventSeries New EventSeries and proceed analogously as described above in the chapter Create a new EventSeries.
  4. Finally drag the CollectionEvent to its position within the hierarchy of the CollectionEventSeries entries. In our example, the event 12.02.2025 Botanical Garden Munich is dragged under the event series “New Event Series”.
