How to Use the Re-Identify Tool

This feature is for advanced EMu users with additional permissions. 

The re-identify tool allows users to add a new determination, determiner and determination date to a group of specimen records all at once.  

Search for all the records you want to re-idenify

Example: Fabian decides all specimens of Miconia johnwurdakciana need to be updated to Rupestrea johnwurdackiana

Select all records to update

Use Ctrl+A or go to Select->All Records in Results.

Open the Re-Identify Tool

Go to Tools->Re-identify->Selected Records

Enter New Determination 

Only a new taxon name is needed, but determinter, institution, determination date, etc. are all available.
