Import from calc-sheets

OCCURRENCE

        ARB/File/Import/Import fields from calc-sheet

DESCRIPTION

        Allows to import data from calc-sheets.

        Your data HAS TO contain a column which allows
        to identify a species in arb, i.e. a column
        containing a unique identifier (e.g. the arb species id ('name')
        or the 'acc' field).

        Workflow:

          * export your calc-sheet in
            * .csv format (comma separated values) or
            * .tsv format (tab separated values),
          * select that file at "Import from CSV",
          * select format type,
          * select which sheet-column/arb-field combination
            identifies the target species.

        Each execution of this funtion does import ONE column
        from your file. For each step select

          * sheet-column to import and
          * target-field desired.

        Additional options:

          * how to handle non-matching sheet-rows.
          * import scope (marked/all)
          * set marks of modified species.
          * field type
