Hello all, I am using BRAHMS system to manage the specimens records from diffrent herbarium. Dose anyone know how to check if there are diffrent determination of same collection, i.e. duplicates in diffrent herbarium were identified as diffrent species.
Thank you very much!
Depends a bit how your database was build. If you imported RDE files from different institutes and used the matching options to add duplicates to exisitng records it is possible there are multiple "current dets" within one collection record. You can trace these using the option in the collection file: tools-> determinations->check current det against det history file.
If you added duplicates manually, there will be only one current det, but you can still see if other herbaria have other dets (if you entered so at least) by comparing the records in the dethistory file (botanical records-> view /edit determinations) or when you use an extract, in the "all determination records" extract. In an extract you can first tag all records that are identical for brahms number and identification and remove the duplicates, then tag all double brahms numbers: those should be different dets for the same brahms number. If you only want to compare the most recent dets: first remove the older dets. If you have a slightly different question you can adapt this method to tag records that do satisfy your needs.
