Re: Importing multiple associated species to one record
I have some Lichen data which I am trying to import into Recorder 6. The data was originally in BioBase transfer format and Adit Limited managed to get it into spreadsheet format to import into Rec6. However, the way the data was recorded there are many cases where there is a lichen that was observed on multiple tree species and these associated species are separated by commas.
When I go to import these I thought the comma would be detected and would put all the associated species in against the lichen record. However, this does not happen and it only gives me the choice of associating one of the associated species. I did not complete the import as this was not what I wanted. I tried changing the comma in the original file to a semi-colon, but the same result.
You can add multiple related occurrences (I assume this is where the associated species import goes) manually, but is it possible to import multiple associated species to one record please?
