Special Fields in MUSE Locality records as you wish. Each Locality record will be automatically linked by Field Number to its associated Primary records when they have been entered into the database. Certain fields in MUSE are preset to behave differently than others in some respects. For convenience in data entry, a few fields)e.g., Cataloger/yr., Field Number, Ocean/Continent and Salinity)are preset to auto-ditto the data from the previous record (see "Next Primary Record" above). In other fields, a standard data item (e.g., "N" for Questionable?, Tax History?, Deaccessioned? and On Loan?, "U" for "Unknown" Inventory status, or the current date for Last Modified) is filled in automatically in appropriate records. For institutions that record a beginning and ending date for an individual collection (Date and Date_2), the second date is filled in automatically to equal the beginning date. If the collection was made on a single day, simply cursor over the second date field. If the collection dates span two or more days, edit the second date field to reflect that. On printing, the dates will be condensed to a range. Certain fields (e.g., Last Modified) are preset to be skipped or protected)in some or all situations)so that their data cannot be modified by the user. The table below lists the special fields and how they differ from normal data fields. Questionable Should be set to yes for any questionable ? identification, including unidentified specimens or manuscript names. Automatically set to yes when the species field is "sp.". Tax. Automatically set to 'Y' by system whenever a History? taxonomic history record for that catalog number is created. Deaccession Automatically set to 'Y' by system whenever a ed? deaccession record for that catalog number is created. On loan? Automatically set to 'Y' by system whenever any specimens from that catalog number are lent. Automatically set to 'N' when they are returned. Inventory Default value is 'U' for unknown. Should be set to 'F' for found or 'M' for missing. Date created Automatically maintained by system, can not be edited by users. Reflects date the record was originally created. Last Automatically maintained by system, can not be modified edited by users. Reflects date that the data have last been edited.
In certain cases, a field may be set so that, without pressing , the cursor moves automatically to the next field after data entry; in latitude and longitude, Degrees, Minutes and Seconds may behave this way. Finally, a field may be set to automatically copy data from the previous field: this feature is useful with two date fields to enter a range of dates; type a date in the first field, press , and edit the second field as necessary (or leave it identical to the first if just a single date is intended).
