They are an easy and flexible way to preset values for data items and have these values automatically inserted when new records are added. Traits and Notes are a flexible way to manage the wide range of specialised and custom information commonly found in biological collections. This type of information is in addition to the core data common to the majority of collections and managed using the Explorers and Detail windows.
