Launch Specimen Identification Update App

Launches an interactive Shiny app for updating specimen identifications in the `specimens` table. The app wraps update_ident_specimens and provides two workflows:

Usage

launch_specimen_identification_app(lang = "fr")

Arguments

lang

Character. Initial UI language: "en" or "fr". Default: "fr".

Value

Launches a Shiny app (does not return until the app closes).

Details

• Manual - search a single specimen by id_specimen, or by collector + number; review current values; pick a new accepted taxon via an embedded taxonomy search; optionally update determination metadata (detd/detm/dety/detby/detvalue) and collector number / suffix; optionally edit the other specimen fields (coly/colm/cold, add_col, locality, country, ddlat, ddlon, description) which are pre-filled with the current values; preview a diff and confirm.

• Batch - upload an Excel/CSV file with one row per specimen to update. Columns are mapped to specimen fields, collectors are matched against table_colnam (skipped if id_specimen is mapped), all rows are validated, then previewed and applied row-by-row.

Batch mode requires that taxonomic names have already been standardized to idtax_n values - typically by first using launch_taxonomic_match_app.
