Update Taxon Lists
The following are instructions on how to update a taxon list after you have received an email from a student informing you that the taxon list for a particular publication was completed, and needs an update for taxonomy.
Contents
(ask a PhenoScaper for username and password)
On a Mac, go to the Finder and Go > Connect to Server. Type this in the Server Address: https://webdav.nescent.org/phenoscape-data/
On a PC, ??
After connecting to the server, navigate to the Taxon List (phenote+) folder and copy the relavant file to your desktop.
Open file in Phenote+
Make sure that you have an internet connection before starting Phenote+ as the software will need to download updated ontology files if available.
Start up Phenote+ (click "Update All" if the update panel appears) and check that you are using the Taxon configuration of Phenote (to check, go to Settings>Set Configuration, and confirm that ‘phenoscape_taxon’ is chosen. You may need to restart Phenote+ for the configuration to appear).
Open the taxon file using File>Open.
Make your taxonomic updates
You can sort the taxon file by "Curator Notes" to view questions or comments that a student recorded about missing entries. You can also sort by Valid Taxon, which will group rows with blank "Valid Taxon" field.
