Dear Arena, It would be handy to facilitate also species entry with vernacular names: in some cases these are more familiar than the scientific names, e.g. fauna (or enabling both scientific and vernacular). In the dark color scheme species names are not visible in the table mode (both text and background are white or very light gray). Rgds, Jos |

Dear Joseph, Could you download the latest version >1.0.14 and check if all of these issues(including the search with vernacular names) were solved? Best, Ramiro (OF) |

Hi Joseph, could you share which version of the app are you using and what device(Android/IOs) To see the app version go to settings and the number should appear at the end of the screen. Thanks, |

Hi, the last Arena Mobile version installed is: 1.0.10.50 (50) 29/7/2023. I use a OnePlus 6T smartphone with Android 11. NB In the 'Light' scheme also the opposite happens in the taxon extra information: black text and too dark background (although just visible). Further it is working fine. Regards, Joseph |

Hi, Could you attach some screenshots? Thanks, |

I load here both the 2 screens in dark and light scheme:

Dear Open Foris team and users, Being a vegetation a vegetation-biologist I make usually forest & grasland relevees including shrub nd herb layers, recording data both with scientific as with vernacular names - often local names are more familiar. My Arena Mobile facilitates now this possibility to enter now both; moreover it is now possible if species consist of 2 names, e.g. Genus species, or American oak - then only 3-4 characters of the first followed by some characters of the second divided by a space leads fast to the species to be selected. Thanks a lot for this: it makes using the app in the field much easier and faster! Hope this feature will soon also be included in the official Arena Mobile! It will also be very helpful that both in Arena Desktop and Mobile both more than one UNL (existing but not yet in the taxonomy list) and UNK (not yet recognized.determined) species can be entered - so not only registered as Unlisted or Unknown, but with code UNL or UNK and (temporarily!) accepted scientific and/or local or nick names... to be adjusted later on during validation. N.B. In Arena Desktop I observed that entering Scientific names not (always?) result in filling also the vernacular name, although existing in the taxonomy - hope that this can be adjusted, I do not see a possibility for this in the Survey designer. Thanks a lot for this very helpful tools! |

Hallo Ramiro,
Yes I have the last version: thanks for adjusting the color schems: looks fine now!
1) Regarding the search with vernacular names: is also possible now, but in the Mobile app of Stefano another handy way of searching has been introduced as follows: you type only 3/4 characters of first part (= genus or nick-/vernacular name), then a SPACE, then some characters of second part ( = species or second part of nick-/vernacular name... see attached screenshot.
2) For Unlisted and Unknown species i suggest as follows:
- (UNL), Unlisted, nick-/vernacular name ... if unlisted existing nick-/vernacular is entered
- (UNL), Scientific name ... if unlisted existing scientific name is entered
- (UNK),Unknown, nick-name 1 ... if unknown species is entered (that needs further 'home work'
- (UNK), Unknown, nick-name 2 ... etc.
3) In table maybe better align species to the left
