Launch Taxa Traits Import App

Opens an interactive Shiny app that guides users through importing taxa-level trait measurements: upload data, map columns to traits from the trait list, preview, and execute the import.

Usage

launch_taxa_traits_import(launch_browser = TRUE, language = "fr")

Arguments

launch_browser

Logical: Open in external browser? (default TRUE)

language

Character, initial language ("en" or "fr"), default: "fr"

Value

Invisibly returns the Shiny app object

Details

The wizard consists of 5 steps:

1. Upload data (xlsx or csv with idtax column)

2. Map trait columns (select which columns contain trait observations)

3. Map metadata columns (taxon ID, flat metadata, and trait features)

4. Validate (check types, ranges, NAs, duplicates; auto-fix type mismatches)

5. Preview & import (dry run or live)

Prerequisites:

• Data must contain an idtax column with valid taxon IDs

• Use the taxonomic matching app first to standardize names

• Trait columns should match existing traits in traitlist

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
launch_taxa_traits_import()
} # }
