Species Add Help Information

This Help information is stored in the file AddSpecies.htm in the subdirectory - Program Files/DataPoint/Help.  This file can be copied to, and viewed or modified on the desktop computer.  If viewed on the PDA, it may be easier to view some sections with word wrap (i.e., View>Fit-to-Screen) turned off.

 

The Species Add Screen is used to add a species to the existing list on the Main Screen.

Only species that occur on the master lookup file can be added to the list on the Main Screen.  If a new species is encountered, it must first be added to the master list via Species>New on the Main Screen.  It will also be automatically added to the list on the Main screen after it has been added to the master list.

 

To add a species to the Main Screen:

1.        Enter the first letter(s) of the species you are looking for.

2.        Tap the Search button

3.        Select the species by tapping on it. You can scroll down if the list extends beyond the bottom of the window.

4.        Tap the Select Button

You will be returned to the Main screen and the species will have been added to the list.

 

You can not remove a species from the list once it has been added, but species with zero values are not saved to the exported file.
