If you have received a warning sign after entering a new taxon (see <strong>Parsing Status Feedback</strong> above) or would like to check the parsing
|
5
|
results you will need to check these data fields in the <strong>Details Panel</strong>. This panel is an editable display of the data fields that are
|
6
|
contained within the database. A taxon record is displayed in the <strong>Details Panel</strong> when it has been activated in the<strong>Taxon Name panel</strong>. If the taxon you need to edit is not yet open you can activate it by double-clicking the taxon record in the <strong>Taxon Navigator</strong> panel (see <strong>The Taxon Name Panel </strong> on page 4 for further details).

Initially you will need to expand the high level menus to reveal the relevant data fields and further menus below them. This will include at least the<strong> Name</strong> menu and <strong>Scientific Name </strong>sub-menu, but you may also need to expand the <strong>Authorship </strong>sub <strong>-</strong>menu depending on the information you are checking/editing.

The menus can be expanded or minimised using the arrow icons to the left of the appropriate menu. These arrows are only activated when the mouse arrow
|
13
|
is located within the <strong>Details</strong> panel.

This version of the manual explains how to address problems with the basic data fields of <strong>Rank</strong>, <strong>Uninomial</strong> and <strong>Specific Epithet</strong>. The <strong>Parsing Status</strong> field at the bottom of the <strong>Details</strong> <strong>panel</strong> will
|
20
|
inform you of which field to check:

Remember, if there continues to be a parsing problem after you have checked that the correct data is stored in the correct data field, the record can
|
70
|
remain as it is; you will not be forced to eliminate the parsing problem before the data can be saved.
