Christmas Bird Count history report system |  |
Christmas Bird Count history report system | |
These controls will appear at the top of the regional index.
Two text entry fields labeled First year
no. and Last year no.
The default values will be the first and last year
available in the database. If the top form passed
in values for either of these fields, those values
will appear here as well. Specifically, in the
text entry input elements, a
value attribute will be added if
the year has been specified.
A checkbox to lump subspecies records with their species. This checkbox is enabled by default.
A checkbox to enable New Mexico alias rules. When checked, this option disables the rules that assume all records are lumped using the standard rules for New Mexico, e.g., all Boat-tailed Grackle records are treated as Great-tailed Grackle. This checkbox is disabled by default.
This is the only alias set functionality we will provide in the initial release. For planned enhancements in future releases, see Section 61.1, “Flexible aliasing”.
A pair of radiobuttons in a group labeled When multiple circles were worked in the same year:. The two radiobuttons are labeled (lumped presentation) and (split presentation).
A submit button.
