 What Can I Do in ScioQualis.com?
-•Manage your collections data - Collection Events (field trips), Occurrence/Specimen data, Locality (Higher/Lower Geography), Citations, People (who collected/identified/prepared), Identifications/Annotations/Nomenclature, Taxon classification, Storage, Images, and more.
-•Upload photos - Images can be associated with Occurrences, Events, or Taxa. Even better, we automatically extract EXIF data in images for use in defining locality. If you have a GPS-enabled phone/tablet, recording the location of an image just got way easier!

-•Manage security - Just because your collection is managed online does not mean everyone gets access to it. There is extensive security and an entire document to explain how that works. For now, just know that a collection owner must specifically grant other Scio Qualis users access to their collection before anyone can see the data. Beyond that, there are multiple levels of security (Contributor, Reviewer, Reader, etc.). In fact, specific occurrence and lower geography records can be individually secured, if needed. So, if you don't want even a collection contributor to see where a particular endangered species was observed you have that level of control!

-•Educate - Only a fraction of the world's species have been identified owing to insufficient funding and a shortage of taxonomists. Help us reverse the dying science of taxonomy. There is a reason why we offer free trial accounts to the community; they are perfect for educators and students. (See [https://scioqualis.com:1443/Account/Register.aspx Free Trial Account])

Upon resolution, the user is shown what collection(s) have a reference to that unique identifier and what type/kind of entity it resolves to (Specimen, Identification, Citation, Photo, etc.). They are also provided with the contact information that the collection administrator chooses to provide.
