<ol start="4" type="1"> |

<li> |

Click on the descriptive data type that you wish to enter for the taxon, for example “Common Name”; the data type will be added to the <strong>Description Tree</strong> and its specific data entry box will be activated in the<strong> Details</strong> panel: |
|

</li> |

</ol> |

A customised Descriptive Tree consisting of different description types can be created in this way. As stated previously the format of the types of |
|
29 |
descriptive data varies; for some the data is input as free text but for others data must be chosen from options given in a drop-down menu. Therefore |
|
30 |
examples of how to input certain descriptive data types will be given in the following sections, rather than showing how to input data for each data |
|
31 |
type. |
