Topic: Master Checklist
Our records are normally imported using the Import Wizard and this ensures that taxa are aligned with the Master Checklist.
However, sometimes individual records are added directly to a survey. If the taxon name is entered in an abbreviated form, or the taxon is diverse e.g. has varieties, then the Master Checklist can be selected. However if the complete taxon name is entered or pasted, or the common name is used, the option to select the taxon checklist or the Master Checklist is not always offered.
I had assumed that the Master Checklist would be the default, however, this is not always the case and it is producing some strange results. For example, Forficula auricularia, is appearing under SNH List of Gaelic Names and humming-bird hawk-moth (not sure why hummingbird has to be hyphenated) appears under Checklist of the Lepidoptera.
Perhaps this is not important, but if the Taxon Checklist is included in a list of records produced by the Reports Wizard, the list shows these inconsistencies.
Is it possible to resolve this please
