Shortcuts

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.

· if it is the first list you create in the device you are using, or
