There didn't seem to be in the demo despite the limit having been reached. Could create confusion - requestor thinking they are being ignored when actually the order didn't go through.]]> 2022-12-01 09:38:58 UTC https://padlet.com/bgcipatriciamalcolm/w3tqsehyqx3pxm67/wish/2404875249 https://padlet.com/bgcipatriciamalcolm/w3tqsehyqx3pxm67/wish/2404885120 Is there a way to update the index seminum if I run out of seeds of one species originally present in the catalogue uploaded?

In terms of future records but also in terms in compliance?]]> 2022-12-01 09:51:26 UTC https://padlet.com/bgcipatriciamalcolm/w3tqsehyqx3pxm67/wish/2404888767 https://padlet.com/bgcipatriciamalcolm/w3tqsehyqx3pxm67/wish/2404895396 2022-12-01 09:57:36 UTC https://padlet.com/bgcipatriciamalcolm/w3tqsehyqx3pxm67/wish/2404895396 https://padlet.com/bgcipatriciamalcolm/w3tqsehyqx3pxm67/wish/2404895948 Is there any way to inform the community that your index seminum is open?]]> 2022-12-01 09:58:09 UTC https://padlet.com/bgcipatriciamalcolm/w3tqsehyqx3pxm67/wish/2404895948 https://padlet.com/bgcipatriciamalcolm/w3tqsehyqx3pxm67/wish/2404897438 How does this tool deal with seeds coming from Satellite gardens of a parent botanic garden?

For example only the family, or only the species and edit the record later? Is it better to leave the fields empty, if i don't want to fill them in that moment, or it is better to put something there, like "-" or "empty"?]]> 2022-12-01 10:01:10 UTC https://padlet.com/bgcipatriciamalcolm/w3tqsehyqx3pxm67/wish/2404899003 https://padlet.com/bgcipatriciamalcolm/w3tqsehyqx3pxm67/wish/2404901204 When we upload a plant name you said it is checked against the BGCI names database. Do you only check for spelling mistakes or do you check for taxonomic conflicts as well?
Also, what happens if there is a conflict with the spelling of an author/species/variety, etc? Can you "force" our way of spelling?]]> 2022-12-01 10:03:22 UTC https://padlet.com/bgcipatriciamalcolm/w3tqsehyqx3pxm67/wish/2404901204 https://padlet.com/bgcipatriciamalcolm/w3tqsehyqx3pxm67/wish/2404911247 Maybe the current plant databases might want to be able to connect directly to this platform so we can upload directly via the database application - would BGCI be open to working with database companies to create these links?

I was thinking if this could be done in the end of the "ordering season" and then imported into IrisBG via the data import function. /Stina Weststrand]]> 2022-12-01 10:46:56 UTC https://padlet.com/bgcipatriciamalcolm/w3tqsehyqx3pxm67/wish/2404945483 https://padlet.com/bgcipatriciamalcolm/w3tqsehyqx3pxm67/wish/2404960526 2022-12-01 11:02:53 UTC https://padlet.com/bgcipatriciamalcolm/w3tqsehyqx3pxm67/wish/2404960526 https://padlet.com/bgcipatriciamalcolm/w3tqsehyqx3pxm67/wish/2404985105 Will the platform keep records of requests as they are completed so that at the end of the season, I can export statistics of all requests and compare with those of previous years?

Even better if you would receive an email when a taxon from you wish list appears on Index Seminum]]> 2022-12-02 14:55:15 UTC https://padlet.com/bgcipatriciamalcolm/w3tqsehyqx3pxm67/wish/2406743764 https://padlet.com/bgcipatriciamalcolm/w3tqsehyqx3pxm67/wish/2408839051 Fort the required fields ABS, CITES and Biosecurity possible values are Yes/No, but in the Amsterdam BG example it is stated as 'unknown'. There is CITES checklist that can be linked to the existing databases, but other two values should be added manually?  Is there a general list for ABS and Security to be used or is the value 'unknown' accepted at this time?

Once this gets to zero, no further orders can be recorded. To have such a function would be excellent for those gardens that prefer to process all incoming requests at the "end" of the exchange season, and ensures that no superfluous labels are generated.]]> 2022-12-08 13:45:13 UTC https://padlet.com/bgcipatriciamalcolm/w3tqsehyqx3pxm67/wish/2414332142 https://padlet.com/bgcipatriciamalcolm/w3tqsehyqx3pxm67/wish/2441512765 It would be interesting to eventually have a place where we could know if the material we have sent has germinated. Maybe linked with the horticultural infos (how to grow and best ways to ship)? We have been wondering for years if certain ephemeral spring plants keep their potency during shipping. 
Thanks for this great initiative

It would also be convenient to add the search for this field.
Maybe do the same with the Cultivar field.]]> 2023-01-16 18:24:17 UTC https://padlet.com/bgcipatriciamalcolm/w3tqsehyqx3pxm67/wish/2445945894 https://padlet.com/bgcipatriciamalcolm/w3tqsehyqx3pxm67/wish/2445950007 I started using the tool successfully, but when the catalog becomes inactive, I can't find it by clicking on my institution. The system offers me to create a new catalog.
However, if I go back in my browsing history, I can go back to my accessions, modify them and put the active catalog back. It therefore becomes visible again.
When the catalog becomes inactive, how do I return to it if I have closed my internet browser?]]> 2023-01-16 18:29:58 UTC https://padlet.com/bgcipatriciamalcolm/w3tqsehyqx3pxm67/wish/2445950007 https://padlet.com/bgcipatriciamalcolm/w3tqsehyqx3pxm67/wish/2448892742 Can we create more than 1 catalogue and have access to all of them at the same time?
