Submit
The next seven manual pages explain how to add data and images to Morphbank via the web-interface. A Morphbank Contributor may submit data and images via: 1) the web interface, 2) one of 2 different Excel spreadsheets, or 3) via XML. Contact mbadmin at scs dot fsu dot edu for more information on the XML option.
After selecting Submit, the screen displays a sub-menu with choices of Locality, Specimen, View, Image, Publication or Taxon Name. The next 6 manual pages explain how to submit each of these objects to Morphbank.
N.B. For all Morphbank objects, the Contributor and Submitter fields default to the person logged-in & submitting via the web. If a Submitter is entering data on behalf of a Contributor, select the Contributor's name from the drop-down for each object. Go to Users and their Privileges for more about Morphbank Group Roles & Contributor / Submitter status. See example next.
Best Practices for Submit
- If there are many Taxon Names to add to Morphbank, add them before any other data associated with these taxon names.
- Preferred order for submitting data is: Taxon Names, Locality, Specimen, View, Image.
- Before an Image is uploaded, both a Specimen and View should exist.
- If person (A) is submitting objects to Morphbank for a different Morphbank account holder, person (B): for each object submitted, be sure to select person (B) for the Contributor. The submitter is automatically the person logged-in to Morphbank uploading the data and images. Go to Users and their Privileges for more about Morphbank Group Roles & Contributor / Submitter status.
