Topic: Recording Cards and Determination Type

Record cards include fields for determiner name and date, but not determination type; therefore when the data is transfered to a survey the taxon record is shown as "not confirmed". Consequently any record entered by this method has to be edited to set the correct verification value.
I'm sure there is probably a good reason why the system was designed this way, but could it be modified?

Thank you

Re: Recording Cards and Determination Type

Hi

This is actually something which is being looked at. Possibilities are to add determination type to the cards which will be a fairly complicated change, or just to allow users to choose the default type which they wish to use when doing card input which will be much easier to do. Any change would also include the ability to set a default determination type for the import wizard saving the need to include a column for this.

Thanks Mike, the ability to choose the default determination type would solve the problem for us as our records are verified before they get to R6.
