Using the software Sharing Importing
Specimen records may be added to your database by importing data from
another Compleat Botanica database or from a general purpose database
that supports delimited files.
To begin the XML import process for Specimen, be sure your current view is
one of the five specimen views.
To begin the delimited file (CSV,TXT) import process for Specimen, be sure
your current view is one of the five specimen views.
Importing category records is handy if you’ve created a collection of
categories in one database and you want to copy theminto a new database.
You may want to import a filter from another computer rather than reentering
it manually.
Importing taxonomic records is an advanced feature for those whose want to
use a different family / order / class hierarchy system.
