Step 2

Continue with the Quick Start

With the app installed, the next step is the Quick Start in the documentation introduction. It takes you from a fresh install to a project you can trust in the field.

1

Set up the app

The setup wizard on the home screen walks you through field identifiers and the controlled vocabularies your team uses. Setup is done once and can be shared with everyone else.

2

Create your first project

A project holds the specimens, sites, collecting events, samples, and media of one expedition or season. Start one in the lab with a real specimen before you rely on it in the field.

3

Learn the workflow

The Quick Start in the documentation introduction links the Day 1 guide, best practices, and the device notes for fieldwork, in the order they are useful.
