CCH1 Feature Development Completed

2022

  Jepson eFlora & ICPN

1.  County distribution maps from the ICPN now read live from the current version of CCH1
2.  Updating Yellow Flags on eflora maps
3.  Create a new map dataset that links the eflora to the new CCH1
4.  Redesign the Map Window

 — Redesign and optimize the map icons to eliminate lag on loading
 — Use optimized map icons that allow the retirement of the clustering map

  CCH1

1.  Downloading Search Results in Excel-compatible CSV text format has been re-developed
2.  The CCH1 database has been moved to Maria DB
3.  Hartman script re-coded and dot maps now use all georeferenced specimens in the new CCH1 
4.  New CCH2 member databases added in 2022

 —  ELH - BLM, Eagle Lake Field Office Herbarium
 —  GDRC - Green Diamond Resource Co.
 —  KNFY - Klamath National Forest Herbarium
 —  LVNP - Lassen Volcanic National Park
 —  NCC - Sonoma State University Herbarium
 —  PPWD - Pepperwood Preserve
 —  PUA - Pacific Union College Hebarium
 —  SSRD - Salmon/Scott Ranger District, USFS
 —  STNF - Shasta-Trinity National Forest Herbarium
 —  THRI - Herbarium of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks


5.  Results page enhancement 

 — restore ability to sort by first column (yellow & georef flags) 
 — Queries only show yellow flags in results if the box is checked on the search page
