3. Search by Taxonomy Search by Taxonomy has been added to the
Search for Local Animals
options.

in the Search for Local Animals
has been added. Previously,
only the top ten results displayed.
When selected, all your results
will display in a results grid.

5. Templates – Desktop Shortcuts
Create Desktop Shortcut has
been added to the Actions
menu for all your templates.
Here we have a shortcut for
an Aquarist Daily Log and a
Husbandry Log template

6. Select Identifiers in HLT
The ability to select what Identifiers you want
to see in the column headings has been added
to the Husbandry Log Template

7. Show Group History
The ability to show Notes from other groups for Splits/Merges has been added. The
top screen shows the note only for the record in focus because Show Group History
is not checked. The lower screen shows the notes entered on other groups this
individual has been a member of because Show Group History is checked. The source
of the Notes is displayed on the right.

8. Estimate & Exclude for Measurements
Much of the Animal data in ZIMS
is shared globally. Eventually we
will also provide the option to
share Environmental and Water
Quality measurements. In
preparation for this future ability,
we have added Estimate and
Exclude checkboxes to these
measurement screens.
