   1 <h2>Creating Multiple Datasources</h2>
   2
   3 <p>Multiple Datasources can be used to create separate databases or datasets within the Taxonomic Editor. You may want to create a separate datasource for different users or for different taxonomic treatments, allowing you to keep the information separate.</p>
   4
   5 <p>With the Taxonomic Editor installed and open on the machine:</p>
   6
   7 <ol>
   8         <li>Ensure that the <strong>Datasource</strong> panel is shown:
   9                 <p>
  10                         Window > Show View > Datasource
  11                 </p>
  12                 <p><img src="" alt="" />
  13                 The Datasource panel will open at the bottom of the Taxonomic Editor window.</p>
  14         </li>
  15         <li>Press the right-click of the mouse with the cursor pointing within the Datasource panel; a drop-down menu will appear.</li>
  16         <li>Click <strong>New</strong>:
  17 The <strong>"Create New Datasource"</strong> panel will appear.
  18
  19         </li>
  20         <li>Enter a name for the Datasource in the Datasource Name field:</li>
  21         <li>Click the arrow icon to the right of the <strong>Database Type field</strong>; a drop-down menu will appear.</li>
  22         <li>Click the <strong>"H2 Database"</strong> option.
  23                  <p><img src="" alt="" />
  24                         The drop-down menu will close.
  25                  </p>
  26
  27         </li>
  28         <li>
  29                 Click Next.
  30                 <p><img src="" alt="" /></p>
  31                 The <strong>"Enter credentials for embedded H2 database"</strong> pop-up box will open.
  32         </li>
  33         <li>Enter a Database name (for example the name of a user or a taxonomic group).</li>
  34         <li>Select <strong>ICBN</strong> or <strong>ICZN</strong> as appropriate.</li>
  35         <li>Click <strong>Finish</strong>.</li>
  36 </ol>

  39 <p><strong>Please Note:</strong> There is no need to input a user name or password. Although you can create a user name and password if you wish, the enforcement of this function is not yet operational, therefore a user will be able to edit any datasource without using the username and password.</p>

  41 <p>The new Datasource will appear in the Datasource panel:<img src="" alt="" /></p>
  42
  43 <p>The process to create new datasources can be repeated as many times as desired.</p>
