Inserire e modificare dati

The main way that we add or change information in Bauble is by using the editors. Each basic type of data has its own editor. For example there is a Family editor, a Genus editor, an Accession editor, etc.

To create a new record click on the Insert menu on the menubar and then select the type of record your would like to create. This will open a new blank editor for the type.

To edit an existing record in the database right click on an item in the search results and select Edit from the popup menu. This will open an editor that will allow you to change the values on the record that you selected.

Most types also have children which you can add by right clicking on the parent and selecting «Add ???…» on the context menu. For example, a Family has Genus children: you can add a Genus to a Family by right clicking on a Family and selecting «Add genus».

Note

Quasi tutti gli editori in Bauble hanno una vista Note, che dovrebbe funzionare ugualmente per qualsivoglia editore attivato.

Un indirizzo web inserito a sé stante in una nota, viene trattato in modo speciale da Bauble: quando l’oggetto è selezionato nel pannello risultati, l’indirizzo web verrà mostrato nel contenitore *Links».

You can browse the notes for an item in the database using the Notes box at the bottom of the screen. The Notes box will be desensitized if the selected item does not have any notes.

Accessioni

The Accession editor allows us to add an accession to a species. In Bauble an accession represents a group of plants or clones. The accession would refer maybe a group of seed or cuttings from a species. A plant would be an individual from that accesssion, i.e. a specific plant in a specific location.

Fonti di Accessioni

The source of the accessions lets you add more information about where this accession came from. At the moment the type of the source can be either a Collection or a Donation.

Collezione

Donazione

Pianta

Editore per le piante.

Creare più di una pianta

È possibile creare più di una pianta in una sola volta, specificando un intervallo come codice di pianta. Questa opzione è disponibile solo al momento di inserire una nuova pianta, non quando se ne sta modificando una già presente nella base dati.

For example the range, 3-5 will create plant with code 3,4,5. The range 1,4-7,25 will create plants with codes 1,4,5,6,7,25.

When you enter the range in the plant code entry the entry will turn blue to indicate that you are now creating multiple plants. Any fields that are set while in this mode will be copied to all the plants that are created.

Fotografie

Just as almost all objects in the Bauble database can have Notes associated to them, Plants can have Pictures: next to the tab for Notes, the Plants editor contains an extra tab called «Pictures». You can associate as many pictures as you might need to a plant.

When you associate a picture to a plant, the file is copied in the pictures folder, and a miniature (500x500) is generated and copied in the thumbnails folder inside of the pictures folder.

As of Bauble-1.0.41, Pictures are not kept in the database. To ensure pictures are available on all terminals where you have installed and configured Bauble, you can use a file sharing service like Copy or Dropbox. The personal choice of the writer of this document is to use Copy, because it offers much more space and because of its «Fair Storage» policy.

Remember that you have configured the pictures root folder when you specified the details of your database connection. Again, you should make sure that the pictures root folder is shared with your file sharing service of choice.

When a Plant in the current selection is highlighted, its pictures are displayed in the pictures pane, the pane left of the information pane. When an accession in the selection is highlighted, any picture associated to the plants in the highlighted accession are displayed in the pictures pane.

Locations

The Location editor

danger zone

The location editor contains an initially hidden section named danger zone. The widgets contained in this section allow the user to merge the current location into a different location, letting the user correct spelling mistakes or implement policy changes.
