Guide to Graphic Buttons

Morphbank is modular in form. The icons and various buttons seen in the My Manager interface work analogously throughout Morphbank to enhance the learning curve for users.

Graphic	Explanation
	Click this button to display associated list of images or objects (in the case of a collection)
	This icon appears next to images in Morphbank. It is a link to the Bischen image viewer which offers users the ability to zoom in / out and move around any image in Morphbank. Via the zooming viewer, functionality to allow labels to be associated with images is under development.
	Click to show information (metadata) about this item. Standard throughout Morphbank and the resulting page is referred to as the single show page for the object (Image, View, Specimen, Locality,...)
	A powerful Morphbank feature. Some tasks on many objects can be done at one time. Use the check box to choose items to be changed. From the *Select Mass Operation* choose the task. An example would be to change the date-to-publish to "now" on many images at one time. For more on this, jump to My Manager Features.
	Click this rss feed icon from any group record in Morphbank to create a link to that group's current images in Morphbank.
	Mail this object link to an e-mail address

	Presence of this symbol indicates a user may delete an object. For instance, click on to delete an annotation in the My Manager, Annotation tab.
	Releasing images in Morphbank for public view is easy. Images in Morphbank can remain private, viewable only to the User who contributed the image and others in that User's group. This calendar icon indicates a user may change the "date-to-publish" which extends the time the Image is private or allows the user to make the Image visible to all Morphbank users including the general public.
