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.

Download the taxon file from the phenoscape-fileshare

(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.


Copy updated file to fileshare

Update entry for publication on Google Docs
