	Location information may ~~also~~ be provided in UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) format, which consists of a zone, an easting ~~value~~, and a northing ~~value~~. UTM information should be recorded in the Mapping Tab, UTM field in this format: "UTM: zone numeric value(N/S) easting numeric value(E) northing numeric value(N)," with spaces separating the values (i.e. “UTM: 12S 0520951E 4419038N”). ~~Zone should include~~ N or S, ~~for north or south~~, ~~respectively, depending on~~ the ~~hemisphere~~. If datum is provided, include at the end of the text string after a comma (i.e. “UTM: 12S 508473E 4503556, ~~NAD 27”~~). Occasionally, the zone is not provided. When this happens, please record empty brackets ("[ ]") before the easting and northing values in the UTM field (i.e. “UTM: [ ] 0520951E 4419038N”). The easting and northing values should also be recorded in the Easting and Northing fields under the Mapping Co-ordinates section.		Location information may be provided in UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) format, which consists of a zone number and hemisphere indicator (N or S), an easting coordinate (6 digits), and a northing coordinate (7 digits). UTM information should be recorded in the Mapping Tab, UTM field in this format: UTM: zone numeric value(N/S hemisphere), easting numeric value(E), northing numeric value(N), with spaces separating the values (i.e. “UTM: 12S 0520951E 4419038N”). Often, the hemisphere indicator is not provided; if not, please record the zone value as is without indicating hemisphere. Also, occasionally a letter alternate to hemisphere indicator (N/S) is provided at the end of the zone value, i.e. T; if this happens, please include that value with the zone (i.e. "UTM: 20T 0413898E 4980532N"). If datum is provided, include that information at the end of the text string after a comma (i.e. “UTM: 12S 508473E 4503556, NAD27”). Occasionally, the zone is not provided. When this happens, please record empty brackets ("[ ]") before the easting and northing values in the UTM field (i.e. “UTM: [ ] 0520951E 4419038N”). The easting and northing values should also be recorded in the Easting and Northing fields under the Mapping Co-ordinates section.

	You may see UTM values recorded in alternate formats, such as “UTM - 508473 m.E by 4503556 m.N (Zone 12S, NAD 27”). In instances like this, you should omit the unit "m.," delete the space between value/direction for each coordinate value, and retain the datum information (NAD27) separated by a comma after the string (i.e. “UTM: 12S 508473E 4503556, ~~NAD 27”~~).

	Enter all available geographic information from the specimen label into the appropriate ~~field~~. Continent, Country, and Province/State/Territory lookup lists are up-to-date and have been locked, meaning that the values in these fields cannot be added to or edited. If a value from a label is not displaying in the drop-down list of one of these fields, the information on the label is outdated, incorrect, or the information is being placed in the incorrect field. Please alternatively enter this data into the Precise Location field ~~(do~~ not ~~omit the data as it needs~~ to ~~be captured)~~. If there is no specific locality description to be placed in the Precise Location field, leave the field empty rather than recording “[no precise location]" or ~~a variation of that phrase in brackets as it is not standard practice~~. Elevation (when provided) should be entered in the Elevation (Above Sea Level) field(s); if provided in a range, the lower elevation value should be placed in the “From:” field, and the higher elevation value in the “To:” field. ~~Sometimes~~ location information is provided in Township, Range, and Section (TRS) ~~format; place that~~ information in the ~~Locality~~ Details ~~section~~ (~~below Elevation~~), ensuring that letters "T", "R", and "S" are included as the prefix before appropriate value/direction (i.e. T10S, R23E, S12).

If a value from a label is not displaying in the drop-down list of one of these fields, the information on the label is outdated, incorrect, or the information is being placed in the incorrect field. Please alternatively enter this data into the Precise Location field.


			Please enter all available location information in the Precise Location field verbatim from the label. Do not translate this information if not provided in English. Do not add notes to this field. If there is no specific locality description to be placed in the Precise Location field, please leave the field empty rather than recording “[no precise location]" or similar phrasing.


			Elevation (when provided) should be entered in the Elevation (Above Sea Level) field(s); if provided in a range, the lower elevation value should be placed in the “From:” field, and the higher elevation value in the “To:” field.


			If location information is provided in Township, Range, and Section format (Public Land Survey System TRS), please enter this information in the “Locality Details (cont.)” section, ensuring that letters "T", "R", and "S" are included as the prefix before appropriate value/direction (i.e. T10S, R23E, S12). This information is important to capture and can be translated into Latitude Longitude coordinates using a coordinate conversion calculator.
