Adding a Specimen event
This lesson explains how to add an event in the life of a Plant Specimen.
When you
choose to do a re-potting event, the program reveals additional options which allow you to select a Pot for your plant.
Pre-requisites:
1) Using GA011, described in Chapter 3, a Care and Event Classification must be configured with Trigger Pot History checked.
In English this record is usually:
Re-pot
(Todo description) and Re-potted
(Done description)
In this tutorial, this event will be referred to as Re-potted and will be selected from a pop-up
2) Using GA028 - a) Pot to be used in this tutorial has been added to your database and b) Pot has been linked to a photo (any photo will do for the tutorial)
