<p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Overview ==<br />
<br />
* Create different measurement types by creating new "Standard Views". <br />
** Create a new StandardView for each measurement or combination of measurements (e.g. ratios).<br />
** Ratios or other sums will be defined in the "formula" box of a Standard View (''functionality remains to be described''). <br />
* A workflow can be organized by creating a group of Standard Views.<br />
** Create a Standard View Group and add Standard Views as desired.<br />
** Group the StandardViews (= measurement types) into as many groups as you'd like.<br />
** You can include just one Standard View in a group if you wish, this will allow you to use the batch creation function.<br />
<br />
== Measurement values ==<br />
<br />
* Measurement values of zero (0) are allowed. <br />
* All measurements are stored as floats.<br />
* If when editing a measurement in the batch editor no value is provided that measurement will be deleted on update.<br />
* All measurements have a "conversion factor", which defaults to 1 in most forms.<br />
* The actual value of the measurement record is ALWAYS<br />
<br />
measurement X conversion_factor<br />
<br />
== Adding measurements to the database ==<br />
<br />
=== "Batch" creating ===<br />
<br />
* Start by adding a series of specimens to the database and giving them OTU determinations<br />
* Create a Standard View Group as described above.<br />
* On the measurements tab navigate to "more options" -> "create"<br />
* Select the OTU which identifies your specimens<br />
* Select the Standar View Group<br />
* Add a conversion factor (to be used for all measurements)<br />
* Select the units.<br />
* Click submit.<br />
* Fill in the form and click add/edit.<br />
<br />
== Continuous characters ==<br />
<br />
* Create continuous characters by selecting a Standard View for that character in the "Continuous character for" field when editing or creating a character.<br />
** WARNING: filling this field will delete all states and all associated codings that presently exist for the character.<br />
** ''the display functionality here remains to be completed''</div>Matt
