Transfer species selections

OCCURRENCE

ARB_MERGE/Transfer selections

 

DESCRIPTION

Transfers species selections (=editor configurations).

Press the 'Transfer selections' button of the 'ARB_MERGE' window to display the 'Transfer species selections' window.

Select a species selection in the left list (which shows all species selections in the source DB) or in the right list (showing those of the target DB), and press the corresponding 'Transfer selection' button below the list to copy it into the opposite DB.

You may not overwrite existing species selections. Instead, you need to delete or rename these before.

To delete, rename or extract species selections, use one of the 'Edit selection' buttons below the lists. This will open the corresponding ´Species selections admin´ window.

 

NOTES

An example macro ("keep_listed_speciesSelections.amc") is delivered together with ARB, which allows to delete all unwanted species selections from a database, by defining a list of all species selections to keep. That macro can be found using the file-prompter under ´Macros´ (see EXAMPLES section there).
