Adding Data From The Field

Any data from the field needs to get added as metadata to the CBGIS database under the database folder. In this case metadata refers to the general data about a particular sample instead of information associated with a particular data file.

Before any major changes are made backup the database as described in Backup

Open the database and add data to sampleMetaData(general data), SampleFieldPhotos(field pictures) or SampleMicroscopePhotos

Lat/long needs to be in decimal when added, the other fields should be pretty self-explanatory. When it doubt look at other samples already in the database or ask Rachel.

The following is a list of fields you will see in the database.
