Hi,

My species lists contain one column, Named "red_list". What should I have to do, to make this column visible?

Thanks in advance

Hi,  
What you have to do is to define a calculated Text attribute that uses this expression:    `idm:speciesListData("SPECIES\_LIST\_NAME", "red\_list", TAXON\_ATTRIBUTE\_NAME)`   
Just replace SPECIES\_LIST\_NAME with the name of your species list and TAXON\_ATTRIBUTE\_NAME with the name of the Taxon Attribute where the user inputs the species. Please pay attention to the position of the quotes.  
Thanks,

Hi,
I did all this and in "Survey Designer" it works well, but in the "collective mobile" it does not work. When I write the species "collective mobile" stops working.
