Viewing data

There are many different ways to view data on the portal.

• As a table (Table)
• On a map (Map)
• As an image grid (Gallery)
• As a mindmap of related records (Related)
• Through custom dashboards (Dashboard)

Each of these views can be accessed through the tabs directly under the navigation menu.

Tabs to use to select different views

As the table view is mostly covered in Searching for specimens on the portal we won't cover that here. Instead we will cover the unique functionality of each of the other view options.

Map view

For this example, we will use some records of Vulpes vulpes in British Columbia.

Changing the colour scheme

Our first option is change the colour of the map. There are 4 options to pick from (sometimes less depending on which projection is selected). These can be selected by pressing the icon in the top right of the map view. Satellite is not shown because it is not recommended, as it takes a long time to load.
