Bug #2615
closedFailure to map WEWO and other non-NCU series in Specify
0%
Description
The herbarium has a small but growing collection of NCSU collections. These appear on the map, but not in the list of collections. We think the reason for not appearing in the collections is that these have a “series†value not equal to NCU. Originally this test was put in place to skip over deaccessioned collections. A couple changes are in order here.
The “series†variable now contains 3 possible values = ~ NCU, NCSU, NCU-deaccessessioned. As these are all valid specimens they should all be mapped and all should be listed under specimens.
At present the NCSU specimens in specify are mapped as NCU specimens. For mapping purposes lump these NCSU specimens in the NCU Specify database with the legacy NCSU collections now in the access database.
For mapping of NCU-deaccessioned collections, shown them in Red as specimens, but as a third category of specimens called “Otherâ€.
In specimen details show BOTH Herbarium code and ID. NCSU and NCU are valid herbarium codes. For deaccessioned collections, the herbarium code is shown in the deaccession table as text1. For deaccessioned specimens the ID number should be nul (not the NCU number).
