From the plant material, you can now add and view images (provided experimental feature is enabled in Settings). To add an image, click the [...] button at the plant material. Select "Add / edit material", the click "Edit" symbol where you can upload new images. The image tab is displayed if any images are available.
To deaccession a record, simply use the three dots on the right of an accession record. Set the deaccessioning date and use the toggle to mark associated plant materials as Absent. By default, deaccessioned records will be filtered out of your collection list view (unless the filter is toggled off).
In addition to editing map coordinates introduced earlier this week, you can now also assign new map coordinates to existing plant material if you have experimental features enabled (in settings). Click the (+) symbol and you will get a list of unmapped plant material which you can search through.
With experimental features enabled, you can now view the garden map and edit already mapped plant material. This capability will be rolled out to all users in due course. This includes assigning map coordinates to unmapped plant material.
You can now choose to enter a custom accession number when creating a new accession. When the "Automatic accession number" switch is off, you can enter a custom number. Switching this on will default to the format YYYY-####.
We have improved the member search capabilities and resolved related performance issues.
You can now edit site locations via Settings. Simply use the edit symbol to modify the code and name of your locations. Any changes will be automatically reflected in the location list when adding plant materials.
Via the Settings, you can now view the location list and add new locations. The ability to change locations will be added soon.
The new Members page will provide you with a complete list of all authorised users and their account activation status.
Our Settings pages have been updated with a new layout and structure to help you find what you are looking for. Under Organisation, the names of any organisations you are a member of are listed. Under Account, you can change your password, change your garden, or switch on experimental features.
You can now download your accessions as a .CSV file by clicking the ellipsis button on the collections view. Download accessions was first released as an experimental feature and has now been made available to all users.
Users can now add new locations when they update or record new plant material. By typing the new name, you will be given the option to add the new location. By selecting add new location, you can then update the location code and name in a separate dialogue.
We have deployed an improved search algorithm for scientific names which now is stricter when your search term is correctly spelled. The new implementation is more useful as it will prioritize a stricter search, but switch over to more generous approximation search if no matching names are found using a stricter matching algorithm. We look forward to hearing your feedback.
From today, Hortis includes a comprehensive technical audit trail. This means Hortis retains a full history of all the changes that are being made to your plant collection data. This capability will gradually be utilised for various upcoming features such as draft/approval, soft delete and restore, audit trail revision and collection analytics.
Audit trail revision will improve data security and allow users to understand with more ease what changes have been made, when and by whom and potentially revert or correct mistakes in a robust and traceable manner.
You can now search items in your Plant Materials list by entering a Material Number in the search bar.
Users can now enable access to experimental features via their profile preferences. If you click the switch, you will be able to try out an early version of the accession download feature, which is then available to you on the collections view.
