When entering data on a Species screen you can choose the species name from the expandable list or use previously created shortcuts (see image below). To use a shortcut click on the corresponding square and you will be taken directly to the Number of individuals screen. Create your own shortcuts list or use the ones proposed in some of the protocols. You can create more than one list to adapt them to the area or habitats you visit. Use the arrow on the shortcuts section to hide or show available shortcuts.

Create shortcuts


The process to create a shortcuts list differs on the first stages depending if it is the first list you create in the device you are using, or there are previously created lists.

    Creating the first shortcuts list:
    1. Long click on species name.
    2. Type species code of your choice, or ignore if you accept the proposed one.
    3. Slide square to select the shortcut colour.
    4. Click Save.
    5. Type a name for the species list.
    6. Click Save.
    7. Continue entering your data and creating shortcuts as needed.



    Creating further shortcuts lists:
    1. Click on the list of shortcuts (number 1 in image Shortcuts).
    2. Click on [New]*.
    3. Type a name for the new list.
    4. Click Save.
    5. Long click on the species name.
    6. Type your prefered code for the species.
    7. Slide the square to the colour of your preference.
    8. Click Save.


    *Save time by clicking on [Save] instead of [New] in step 2. This duplicates an already existing list.

    • Select [Save].
    • Select the list you want to duplicate and Save.
    • Name the new list.
    • Add / delete shortcuts as needed.



First list

To create a shortcut for the first time, click and hold on the species name you want to create the shortcut for from the expandable menu on the Species screen. A new window will appear where you can select the colour and the species code to assign to this species (see image Creating a shortcut below). Slide the bar to select the colour of your choice and enter the code. A species code is proposed but you can change it to a maximum five digits code if this will be easier for you. When done, click on Save. A new window will open to name the species list (see image Naming a shortcuts list).

When a shortcut list is created, shortcuts appear above the taxonomic group, and the active shortcut list is shown on the top bar (see image Shortcuts.). Click on the shotcut list to open a menu with all possibilities for the lists.

Additional lists

Once a shortcuts list is created, the name of the list appears on the top bar. Click on the name to create a new list. It will open a menu with all the possibilities. Click [New] to create a new list (see image Shortcuts lists. Menu). Enter the name of the new list when prompted (see image Naming a shortcuts list) and start creating shortcuts as described in First list above.

Change shortcuts list


More than one shortcuts list may exist in a device. Your active list is shown on the top bar. To change your active list, click on the list name to open a menu with all saved lists on the device (see image below). The current list is highlighted in yellow. Click on a different name list to change the active list.

    If at least one shortcuts list already exists, all new shortcuts will be saved on the active list. Click on the active list to see all available lists and select the one you want to create the shortcuts at.
    If needed, open a new list.



Rename a shortcut list


From the Species screen, click on the active shortcuts list on the top bar to open the shortcuts menu (see image Shortcuts lists. Menu). Click on [Rename] to change the active shortcuts list. Type the new name when prompted and click Save (see image below). If you want to rename any other list, change the active list first.

Modify a pre-defined list


Some protocols provide a pre-defined list. This list can be modified to better suit your needs, but cannot be overwritten. To personalise it, open the pre-defined list, add or delete shortcuts as needed, click on the [Save] option at the top right menu (see image below) and rename the new list. You can delete or modify the new list as you please.

    Personalise a pre-defined list:
    • Open the existing list.
    • Add / delete shortcuts as needed.
    • [Save] the result.
    • Rename the new list.
