Sightings Entry Screen

Sightings Entry Screen

This screen is split into 3 main parts.

At the top is the Sightings menu which has 3 buttons, Switch, Cancel and Save.

  • Switch - use to change from one worksheet to another on the fly. So changing from Birds to Moths and then to Butterflies takes just a few seconds.
  • Cancel - will cancel your current trip
  • Save - will save the current trip and its sightings

Next are the search boxes

  • Search - here you enter a species name and the species list will get shorter until you can see the one you want.
  • Qcode - where you can search using the BTO quick codes

Species Selection - show a list of all the species available

  • To select a species, add 1 to the count by clicking the space before the name. Another click will increment  the number.
  • Slide or long press the species name to add more details.
  • Click the minus to reduce the count.

Finally we have the bottom menu.

  • Spc: the Spc  button toggles between showing all the species available and just those you have seen on the current trip.
  • Filter: The filter button opens up a form where the user can select Distributions and Species Level.  This will be desribed in detail in a later topic.
