CE Match similar to CO Match

[AntWeb-org]

Feature or enhancement

I would like to be able to match Collecting Events similar to the CO match. At least for starters be able to copy and past batches of CEs to see if they're in the database then perhaps in the future make batch updates to CEs.

@AntWeb-org When you say "copy and paste CEs" what format would that text look like?

[AntWeb-org]

Copy and paste a list of text from excel such as the following CEs: ANTC48955 ANTC48956 ANTC48957 ANTC48958 ANTC48960 ANTC48961 ANTC48962 ANTC48963 ANTC48964 ANTC48965 ANTC48966 ANTC48967 ANTC48968 ANTC48969

You can do that now by proxy. Paste them in Filter CO, then navigate to Filter CE.

Ah- but maybe those are field numbers, not CatalogNumbers, right?

[AntWeb-org]

Yes, they are field numbers/trip identifiers for the CE record.

[AntWeb-org]

By the way, where can you copy and paste COs into the CO Filter? I pasted a number of catalog numbers into the Matching Identifiers field and received zero results.

[AntWeb-org]

Forget my last comment, I figured it out. The list has to be more like a paragraph with identifiers separated by a comma.

If you want to use one per line you can use \n as the delimiter (see the note below).

[AntWeb-org]

I tried that before and it didn't seem to work. I am copying and pasting the list of identifiers from a column in excel so the delimiters are paragraph marks.

Again, forget my last comment - I got it :)

This presently available on the CE filter, I don't anticipate adding an individual match task, but rather add downstream reports based on the match as needed.
