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.

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).
