Copy a record #
Copying a record lets you create another entry from the same field trip, based on an existing record.
What is usually worth copying #
Use Create new record on a record's data card when the next photographs come from the same trip, including an earlier trip. ENTOMONE keeps the active database and copies the source record's date, site, locality and country.
On the next screen, choose exactly one photo from the phone gallery or computer folder, enter a taxon name and save the record. You can select a name from your private dictionary or enter a new one. The Notes field is available but starts empty.
The selected photo's GPS does not limit the series. You can add a photo taken later, including one made outside the site or without GPS, for example during breeding.
What not to copy without checking #
Photos and notes from the source record are not copied. Each new record receives its own selected photo and its own note. Taxon, plant, quantity, sex, observer and record type are not carried over either.
After saving, you can add another record with the same trip context. Choose End series to clear that context and return to normal Field Notebook work.
When not to use a copy #
Do not use this function when the new record has a different site, locality, country or date. It is also not a replacement for importing a larger spreadsheet.
