Launch Specimen Import Wizard — launch_specimen_import

Launches an interactive wizard-style Shiny application for importing new herbarium specimens to the database from Excel/CSV files.

Usage

launch_specimen_import_wizard(lang = "en")

Arguments

lang: Character, initial language ("en" or "fr"). Default "en".

Value

Launches Shiny app (does not return until app closes)

Details

**Wizard Steps:** - Step 1: Upload your data file - Step 2: Map your columns to database fields - Step 3: Match collector names and taxa to the database - Step 4: Preview and import to the specimens table

The wizard guides you through the entire import process with validation at each step. Collector names are matched to the `table_colnam` lookup table, and taxonomic identifications are validated against the taxa database.

For creating links between specimens and individuals, use the separate `launch_individual_specimen_linking_app()` function.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
launch_specimen_import_wizard()
launch_specimen_import_wizard(lang = "fr")
} # }
