This is a good exercise for all to understand the workings of the specimens program, thanks John
Start
Files->Plant Care Classifications - GA011Add a new Topic:
To do desc: Perish (not something you plan as a task, but something needed in the system for this application)
Done Desc: Perished (That IS sometimes required, unfortunately)
Now start GA029 (or GA004, or GA027 etc)
Get into the specimen profile screen GA100S23 for the plant (add a specimen to continue if you don't have one)
In GA100S23, click on
Specimen Events button
Click
Add an event button
Takes you to GA100S26
Enter an event for the plant = Perished (you can write notes!)
Now in other programs, the programs will show the latest status as Perished.
Let me know how you get on with that lot! I'd like to hear comments from all who try this.
