<p>Once you have created your first Classification, you can add taxa to
|
4
|
build up your database according to your taxonomic treatment. You add
|
5
|
taxa to your classification by creating a new taxon linked to both the
|
6
|
classification and a parent taxon if appropriate. The following
|
7
|
description is the quickest way to add a new taxon to your tree:</p>
|
8
|
|
9
|
<p>Point the mouse arrow at the Classification or the intended parent
|
10
|
taxon of your new taxon. As you hover over the entries in the Taxon
|
11
|
Navigator panel they will become highlighted and a hand icon will
|
12
|
appear.</p>

The new taxon record will appear in the Taxon Navigator panel and is

saved automatically:

You can continue to add new taxa to any node in the classification in
|
47
|
this way in order to build up your taxonomic treatment. To create and
|
48
|
manage synonyms and other relationships, see

If you want to open the taxon record to view the parsing status of the
|
55
|
information you have input (see
|
56
|
<a href="">Parsing Status Feedback</a>
|
57
|
) or add to or edit the record (see the following section), simply
|
58
