Event: Add/Edit dialogs
This dialog enables you to create a new single or to edit an existing one within the Event Dictionary. More about events...
If the event is based on a taxon, press the ellipses (...) next to the Taxon name field to open the Select Taxon dialog. When you select a taxon, the Event name field also fills with the taxon name, but this can be changed as required.
If the event is not based on a taxon, the Event name can be typed in directly.
The type of event must be specified as Paired (events which have a top and/or a base when recorded in wells or composite standards, e.g. a typical fossil range) or Single (an event which can only represent a single age, e.g an ash bed). If you are editing an existing event, you can only change the event type if the event has not been used in any well events in the database.
The Use as top or base option allows the system to use this event when generating top and base range events from the taxon occurrences in sample analyses.
The Description field is optional.
