Menu: Export | Herbarium etiquettes from template

 

When a selection is based on one or a number of species Turboveg can create herbarium etiquettes for the selected species (and only those species). The export to etiquettes can only be done directly after the selection has been made.

 

A sample template as MS Excel document is located in the folder '<installation folder>\Herbarium'. This sample can modified to fit your own needs.

 

Important is that each etiquette consumes a fixed number of rows (x) and columns (y). Also the number of etiquettes on a row (z) is fixed.

The very first line  of the Excel sheet contains three parameters indicating the above mentioned dimensions:

1.RowBlockCount=x (located in row1, column 1)
2.ColBlockCount=y (located in row 1, column 2)
3.BlockCount=z (located in  row 1, column 3)

 

The number of etiquettes that can be created is only limited by the number of rows that Excel can handle in a sheet.

 

In each etiquettes the character string placed between square brackets (e.g. '[RELEVE_NR]') refers to a field name in the Turboveg database (so called placeholders) . When creating the etiquettes Turboveg will replace the placeholders with values derived  from the selected relevés.

An exception is the placeholder [SPECIES_NAME]. There is no equivalent field name in a Turboveg database, but Turboveg will replace this placeholder with a species name.

 

Please note that relevés first need to be selected before they can be exported.
