Event Series

If you need a hierarchical order of your CollectionEvents, or if you want to organise several CollectionEvents, for example, to document expeditions, you can do so using a CollectionEventSeries. For more detailed information about CollectionEventSeries, see the section CollectionEventSeries.

Create a new EventSeries

  1. To create a new EventSeries, select the relevant CollectionEvent in the specimen tree (see point 1 in the image below).
  2. Click the Add a new event series button (see point 2 in the screenshot below), and save your changes by clicking the button.

 

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

    • If the new EventSeries does not appear in the tree view, click the Show parent event series button located 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 and select the date.

  2. Next, enter the description of the location (see 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 organised hierarchically.

Create a new CollectionEventSeries hierarchy

To create a hierarchy for your CollectionEvents and CollectionEventSeries, select the existing EventSeries in the tree (see step 3 in the image above).

  1. Before adding a new EventSeries, change the tree view mode. 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 relevant 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”.
