Re: Reporting and cross list synonymy - your input please
In response to a problem with the report wizard in Recorder 6 – 693-015 - Report about a place for selected taxa does not do cross list synonymy, Dorset Software have proposed a solution that will mean that the ‘Use Full translation to preferred term’ option (under Tools – Options in Recorder 6) will be removed and Recorder 6 will always use full translation to preferred term.
I’m trying to get a picture of how many users deselect this option, and what the potential implications will be if this option was removed?
In terms of using the Report Wizard, it would mean that users could pull out all records for a particular taxon, irrespective of which checklist was used to input the record. However, this would also mean that users could not select to report on records only inputted from a particular list.
I would very much appreciate any comments users have, so that we can make the best decision on your behalf.
Many thanks,
Sarah
