Topic: Measurement Qualifier

How can I use the Import Wizard to import (i) Measurement Quality and (ii) make the status of Determination to be Considered Correct rather than Unconfirmed. I am trying to import from Mapmate.

Re: Measurement Qualifier

I don't know enough about the MapMate  output to be too specific, but this may help.

The 'status' in R6 is the Determination Type. This  can be imported via the import wizard. Look in Term List to see the System Supplied types.

As far as the qualifier are concerned. R6 can parse a field containing  the data and qualifier for Abundance count. ( eg 1 male, 2 females, 3 juveniles will parse) -  Look in help to see the format supported. Or a single column containing data can be allocated to a specific qualifier/unit. This is done through 'More Option'  when selecting the  column in the Import Wizard - Taxon Occurrence Data will expand to show all the combinations available to you. Additional ones e can be set up through Term Lists.

Re: Measurement Qualifier

I think the Taxon Occurrence Data is a good solution for my circumstances. Thank you.
