<h2>Adding Taxa to your Classification using the General > New menu</h2>

<p>As well as the above method, you can also access the New Taxon Node

	box via the <strong>General > New</strong> menu on the toolbar. However, using this

	method you may need to manually input the classification and the Parent

	Taxon (if any) of the taxon that you are inputting. If a classification

	is highlighted in the Taxon Navigator panel this is automatically

	selected as the classification.</p>

<ol>

	<li>Click on the <strong>General</strong> menu in the toolbar > <strong>New > Taxon</strong>:

		<p><img src="../img/5_4a.jpg" alt="" /></p>

		<p>The New Taxon pop-up box will open.</p>

	</li>

	<li>Click the <strong>Browse</strong> button to the right of the Classification field:

		<p><img src="../img/5_4b.jpg" alt="" /></p>

		<p>The "Choose a classification" pop-up box will open.</p>

	</li>

	<li>Enter a search term for the name of the Classification, for example

		the first letter of the name. As you type, matching taxonomic trees

		will be shown in the "Matching items" field below:

		<p><img src="../img/5_4c.jpg" alt="" /></p>

	</li>

	<li>Click the name of the desired classification from the list in the

		"Matching items" field.

	</li>

	<li>Click <strong>OK</strong>; the pop-up box will close and the name of the

		Classification will be shown in the Classification field:

		<p><img src="../img/5_4d.jpg" alt="" /></p>

		<p>If appropriate, you can now choose a parent to attach the new taxon to

		in the exact same way:</p>

	</li>

	<li>Click the <strong>Browse</strong> button to the right of the Parent field:

		<p><img src="../img/5_4e.jpg" alt="" /></p>

		<p>The "Select parent taxon" pop-up box will open.</p>

	</li>

	<li>Select classification from drop down at the bottom of the box.

	</li>

	<li>Enter a search term for the name of the parent taxon, for example the

		first letter of the name. As you type, matching taxa from your

		selected Taxonomic Tree will be shown in the "Matching items" field

		below:

		<p><img src="../img/5_4f.jpg" alt="" /></p>

	</li>

	<li>Click the name of the desired parent taxon from the list in the

		"Matching items" field.

	</li>

	<li>Click <strong>OK</strong>; the pop-up box will close and the name of the parent taxon

		will be shown in the Parent field:

		<p><img src="../img/5_4g.jpg" alt="" /></p>

	</li>

	<li>Click in the <strong>New Taxon</strong> field.

	</li>

	<li>Enter the name of the taxon, including authorship if you wish.

	</li>

	<li>Click the <strong>Finish</strong> button or press the <strong>Return</strong> button on the keyboard:

		<p><img src="../img/5_4h.jpg" alt="" /></p>

	</li>

</ol>

<p>The new taxon record will appear in the <strong>Taxon Navigator</strong> panel and is

	saved automatically:</p>

<p><img src="../img/5_4i.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>You can continue new taxa to any node in the classification in this

	way in order to build up your taxonomic treatment. To create and manage

	synonyms and other relationships, see <a href="">Managing Taxonomic Relationships</a>.</p>

<p>If you want to open the taxon record to view the parsing status of

	the information you have input (see <a href="">Parsing Status Feedback</a>)

	or add to or edit the record (see the <a href="">following section</a>), simply

	double-click the taxon name in the Taxon Navigator panel.</p>
