OLI Species Names Icons and selecting display names

OLI Species Icons

What do the small symbols mean next to the species names in the data input grid?

The species in the OLI databases are sorted by several different names. The sort order can be modified by the user and this will be discussed later in this document. The symbols appear next to the species names:

Figure 1 Display names with symbols.

Each symbol has a different meaning.

Symbol Types and Meanings

The SYN indicates that this name is stored as a synonym for this species. If the user had entered this long name, the program would have displayed the name according to the setting under the Names Manger tool item.

The final name in this case is PROPCLFRMT which is the OLI tag name. In all the examples shown, this indicates that we are using the same species.

The STAR indicates that this is the display name of the species. This name is displayed if the Display Name setting is selected under the Names Manager tool item.
