"Gunther  says . . ."

Gunther has been using his new digital camera to photograph the wonders of his cottage garden.  "What I really needed was a way to organize all those pictures".  He tried other methods, but in the end The Compleat Botanica turned out to be the best solution.

Q:  How do I change the width of columns when I use the report layout tool?

A:  The width of columns in a report layout is automatically calculated based on their widths in the specimen list.  To change report layout widths, return to the specimen list and adjust the column width using the column header.

Remember that a report layout specifies font faces, point sizes, colors, and header & footer text.  A printed report is dependant upon both the report layout and the current filter. The current filter specifies which items to print, which columns to print, their sort order, and the relative widths of the columnssee the full story.

Frequently asked questions


Q:
  I have an extensive collection of plants which I grow under lights, on windowsills, outside sheltered areas, and in my greenhouse. Is the software set up to track my plant's growing location?

A:  Yes.  The custom category for "garden location" is intended for just that purpose.  You can specify all of your growing locations as different custom categories, then use this item to sort, filter, and develop reports of your collection.

Tips . . .


Q:
  How do I customize the Abstract View?

A:  The Abstract View provides a single point of reference for the currently selected specimen record. When you're actively making changes to your data you'll need to use one or more of the specimen data entry views, but when you want to see it all together, you can use the Abstract View.

You can change the way the abstract is formatted by using the Customize settings . . . area. This is where you can choose which template to use as a basis for your abstract. There are two types of templates -- detail pages and summary tables. The detail page template that you choose will be used whenever a single specimen is selected. By contrast, the summary table template that you choose will be used whenever multiple specimen are selected. see the full story.
