As staff botanist at her botanical garden, Jean has always taken the
time to be methodical in her research and identification of new
specimen. With The Compleat Botanica, Jean can create
specimen labels that precisely identify a specimen with her database
entry. "There's too much at stake to leave it to chance," says
Jean.

Q: Why doesn't the entire list of specimen show up when I change filters?
A:
The number of records that appear in the specimen list can be quite large.
In order to reduce the time it takes to build and display the list, its
size is artificially limited when you first display a new filter.
This
artificial limit can be increased or removed all together by using the
Customize settings . . . area. see the full story. For more tips see

Q: We are currently compiling a master list of our plant
collections, ultimately leading to a book. Can we import data from Excel
into the Compleat Botanica and print a book from it?
A:
Yes. Data from Excel spreadsheets can be saved in a tab
delimited format which can easily be imported into The Compleat
Botanica.
The software has an excellent facility for publishing your data
in book format and in hyper-linked Web format.
In addition, the software has an export feature that allows your data to be
copied to word processors, page publishing tools, browsers, Web
servers, etc.

Q: How to create new specimen records. A: There are three ways to add new specimen records to your collection.
The first way is to find the appropriate botanical name in the taxonomic
checklist and press the create new specimen button located in the bottom
right-hand corner of the view. This works best if you know
the true botanical name.
The second way is to search the vernacular list for the common name of the plant,
then press the create new specimen button. This works well if you're unsure of the
proper spelling of the botanical name or if you only know the common name.
The third way is to press the new specimen button at the bottom of the specimen list.
This works best when you know the full botanical name of the specimen to be added.
