The Parsing Status of the field may ask you to check the Rank data field. If the rank is correct, there is no need to take any action. If the rank is incorrect, you can change it using the drop-down menu:
1. Expand the Scientific Name menu using the arrow to the left of the menu.
2. Click within the Rank data field; the field will be activated and a drop-down menu arrow will appear at the right of the field.
3. Click on the drop-down menu arrow; the data options for the Rank field will appear.
4. Navigate to the correct rank value using the bar at the right hand side of the menu to scroll down if necessary.
5. Click the correct rank value; the drop-down menu will close and the selected rank will be shown in the rank data field.
6. Save the record (see Saving your Work on page 77).
Note the many options in the Rank drop-down menu. This menu can be customised to show only those ranks which you are likely to use. See Show/Hide Options of Drop-Down Menus on page 30 for further information.
