What's new?

Our Settings pages have been updated with a new layout and structure to help you find what you are looking for. Under Organisation, the names of any organisations you are a member of are listed. Under Account, you can change your password, change your garden, or switch on experimental features.

You can now download your accessions as a .CSV file by clicking the ellipsis button on the collections view. Download accessions was first released as an experimental feature and has now been made available to all users.

Users can now add new locations when they update or record new plant material. By typing the new name, you will be given the option to add the new location. By selecting add new location, you can then update the location code and name in a separate dialogue.

We have deployed an improved search algorithm for scientific names which now is stricter when your search term is correctly spelled. The new implementation is more useful as it will prioritize a stricter search, but switch over to more generous approximation search if no matching names are found using a stricter matching algorithm. We look forward to hearing your feedback.

From today, Hortis includes a comprehensive technical audit trail. This means Hortis retains a full history of all the changes that are being made to your plant collection data. This capability will gradually be utilised for various upcoming features such as draft/approval, soft delete and restore, audit trail revision and collection analytics.

Audit trail revision will improve data security and allow users to understand with more ease what changes have been made, when and by whom and potentially revert or correct mistakes in a robust and traceable manner.

You can now search items in your Plant Materials list by entering a Material Number in the search bar.

Users can now enable access to experimental features via their profile preferences. If you click the switch, you will be able to try out an early version of the accession download feature, which is then available to you on the collections view.

Added more details to the Data Security Chapter related to disaster preparedness, continuous backup and data recovery.

You can now filter your plant materials list based on the status of the plant material. Select Add filter to see the drop-down options.

We have updated the colours in the Provenance Snapshot in the dashboard to help you better understand the way the four categories are related.
