Watch the recording: ZIMS Training webinar – Data Entry and Provisional
- By Gavrielle Kirk-Cohen
On 24 June, Species360 hosted a free ZIMS training webinar covering mobile Data Entry and Provisional, and the recording is now available to watch.
The webinar provided a helpful overview of the new, mobile-optimized Data Entry in the Species360 Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS) and walked viewers through how to record core animal data effectively. Additionally, the session looked at how to set up and use Provisional Data Entry in ZIMS so that new information can be captured quickly, reviewed, and approved with confidence.
The Species360 team highlighted recent improvements in ZIMS and practical workflows that save time and showed how provisional records appear in reports. The session ended with a Q&A section which went deeper into specific examples.
Whether you are a keeper entering records in the field from a mobile device, or a registrar responsible for overseeing data quality at your institution, you will find this training session useful.
