Compleat Botanica - Steps for importing specimen from delimited files

To begin the import process for Specimen, be sure your current view is one of the specimen views. From the File menu select the Import command.

window to choose the
comma separated file or
the tab delimited file
containing specimen
records to be imported. See
the files Specimen.csv and
Specimen.txt for samples
of valid delimited files.

column names and their
validation rules see the

possibilities for dealing
with records that are both
in the delimited file and in
your database.
For the bottom three
possibilities, you will also
need to select how records
in the database are
compared with records in
the delimited file.
