Documentation
Forms A form is a window in which data can be viewed, entered, or edited. Specify categorizes forms as Data forms, which are used to enter collection data, and Interactions, which are used to record transactions of either data or collection objects. Each discipline has access to a set of forms for both data and interactions, specific to their discipline. Interactions Interactions in Specify allow users to create and manage documentation associated with the movement of specimens or data into or outside of the collection. This includes information about loans, gifts, borrowed items, permits, shipments, accessions, disposals, deaccessions and information requests. Query Building This category is all about queries, building queries, and exporting them. This encompasses Schema mapping and DwCA definition exports. WorkBench Workflows The WorkBench is a powerful tool in Specify 6 and 7 for importing and modifying data. Ask questions and discuss with members and Specify staff. Data Entry This category includes all documentation involving importing data, images, files, attachments, and more! Labels & Reports This is the central discussion board for all topics related to Specify Labels & Reports. Trees Discuss the Trees inside of Specify! Ask any questions that you have about how to use, edit, view, synonymize and merge tree nodes. Configuration & Installation This category contains all of the documentation related to configuring and installing the Specify software suite.
