What's new?

To help simplify the sign-up process as a new user, we have updated our login page. If you are new to Hortis and it is your first time logging in, use Activate account. If you have already signed-up, use Sign in.

From the members section, available via settings, you can now invite new team members to Hortis. Just add one or more email addresses and your colleague(s) will receive an email with instructions on how to sign up.

From the plant material, you can now add and view images (provided experimental feature is enabled in Settings). To add an image, click the [...] button at the plant material. Select "Add / edit material", the click "Edit" symbol where you can upload new images. The image tab is displayed if any images are available.

To deaccession a record, simply use the three dots on the right of an accession record. Set the deaccessioning date and use the toggle to mark associated plant materials as Absent. By default, deaccessioned records will be filtered out of your collection list view (unless the filter is toggled off).

In addition to editing map coordinates introduced earlier this week, you can now also assign new map coordinates to existing plant material if you have experimental features enabled (in settings). Click the (+) symbol and you will get a list of unmapped plant material which you can search through.

With experimental features enabled, you can now view the garden map and edit already mapped plant material. This capability will be rolled out to all users in due course. This includes assigning map coordinates to unmapped plant material.

You can now choose to enter a custom accession number when creating a new accession. When the "Automatic accession number" switch is off, you can enter a custom number. Switching this on will default to the format YYYY-####.

Refreshed members layout and improved performance

We have improved the member search capabilities and resolved related performance issues.

You can now edit site locations via Settings. Simply use the edit symbol to modify the code and name of your locations. Any changes will be automatically reflected in the location list when adding plant materials.

Via the Settings, you can now view the location list and add new locations. The ability to change locations will be added soon.

The new Members page will provide you with a complete list of all authorised users and their account activation status.
