Species Mode Vs. Maps Mode
The portlet operates in 2 different mutual exclusive modes, which affect the displayed information type and the offered functionalities:
- Species Mode

Users can switch to Maps mode by selecting a species entry and clicking the show related maps button in the grid's upper toolbar.
- Maps Mode
- While in this mode, information listed in the main grid correspond to map entries in the environment dataset. Search facilities are not enabled.Users can switch to Maps mode by selecting a species entry and clicking the return to species mode button in the grid's upper toolbar.
Grid Views
For both Species mode and Maps mode the central grid offer 3 different views of found data :
- Images View
- Shows a list of thumbnail, one per entry. By clicking on a thumbnail, a sidebar is opened showing all available details for that entry (both Save to Workspace and open in GISViewer functionalities are available under Maps mode)
- Descriptive View
- Shows a grid with compound fields in which displayed information is aggregated (only available under Species mode)
- Scientific View
- Lists species in a tabular data form.
Users can switch between the 3 layouts above by clicking the related button on the grid's upper toolbar.
