 * 20. Title of columns should remain static so when the users scrolls down the contents of rows are clear.

 * "22. Move the text with Hyperlinks for "Home, Simple Query, Logon, Registration, Background, Participants & Copyright" from the bottom of the page to the top of the page. Should the logos move as well? "


 * Display in Browser (in html table format), HTML,
 * 23. The HTML boxes displaying the data results should only be a certain width with the data wrapping in these boxes and justified left.  This does not happen! The data in each box is displayed on a single line that is centralised. Action: Specify box sizes for results page, justify left & wrap data for ease of viewing.


 * Display in Browser (in html table format)
 * 24. Create an "up & down" and "left &  right" scroll bars for out-putted data in HTML formats so logos,  links and column titles remain static at the top of the page

 * 25. "Map Legend : herbaria" should the legend be next to map nearer the top of the page so that users can see what squares represent what herbaria etc. with out having to scroll down.  YES it should! Action: move legend


 * Output to Map
 * 26. Is the small black and white thumbnail map required in the top left? This is interactive. When thumbnail is clicked on the records from all the herbaria on the map is lost.


 * Output to Map
 * 27. Is the tick button "Show By Species" required when only one taxa was inputted in the search boxes? Should this be directly above the tick box "Do Not Separate"?


 * Output to Map
 * 28. Top right: It is not clear what the tick buttons, "Show By Precision" means with the legend at the bottom of the page (It took me a few minutes to work out where the legend was and what "Show By Precision" meant).  Action: move legend


 * Output to Map
 * 29. Top right: It is not clear what "Do Not Separate" means when a search for a single taxon has been executed? Should this be displayed when a single taxon is used?


 * Output to Map
 * 30. The title "Click on dot to show specimen information. Click between dots" does not make sense to me. What does Click between dots refer to?


 * Output to Map
 * "31. Under the text "Click on dot to show specimen information. Click between dots", on the right hand side of the screen what does the tick button "Pan" mean and do? "


 * Output to Map
 * "32. The "Redraw Map" button should also be under the "Display Options" and "Click on dot to show specimen information. Click between dots:". Action: add additional buttons "


 * Output to Map
 * 33. The tick boxes under the "layers" title allows the user to choose all of the functions. However, all  these layers cannot  be displayed on the map at the same time. Example: When rainfall and temperature are selected, only the rainfall is shown on the map as only one set of colours can be shown at a time.  Should a function be built in whereby if rainfall is selected  the temperature is de-selected?

 * 34. Add "return to default settings" button

 * 35. When a "query dot" on the map was clicked, the colour of the dot indicated that the specimen was from MEL. Indeed, the MEL specimen information was shown, (Record Prefix  642127A). In the same pop-up box the specimen information for an AD specimen was also shown (Record Prefix 97925382).  What is going on?  This is also happening for 98202276 & 98329054 (both of these are AD specimens). is this a display issue?


 * Output to Map
 * 36. The buttons on the right of the screen, "Download As JPEG", "Download As PGN" & "Download As PDF" should be the same width. This maintains a professional look for the web page!

 * 37. Once the "Zoom Out" or "Zoom In" boxes have been clicked, a number is entered into the" Zoom By" Box. Suggestion:  This could be made more user friendly. Maybe attach a drop down box? It is also not clear if this box is to be used for PAN   Can a Google earth type interface be used? This Zoom-in /out interface could be made more user friendly. As is  now, it is confusing.


 * Output to Map
 * 38. Lat/Long Grid: Suggestion: Can the lat/long grid be reduced or expanded when zooming in or out of a map?

 * 39. On the left hand side of the screen under the "layers" heading, for just the tick boxes relating to herbaria a toggle button for selecting or deselecting all herbaria could be inserted.


 * Output to Map
 * 40. Under the Layers heading on the left hand side of the screen: If AD is deselected and the "redraw map" function is clicked, records from AD are not shown. So far so good! However, The colours of the other Herbaria change. It would be good if these colours stayed the same!


 * Output to Map
 * 41. The layers buttons should be at the top of the page in the place of the thumbnail map. This is so that options can be easily selected and the map redrawn without having to scroll down and the map appearing to jump about the screen.


 * Output to Map
 * 42. The user should be able to see the whole of the Australian map on the screen when it is first presented. To see all of Victoria and Tasmania the user needs to scroll down the screen


 * Output to Map
 * 43. Remove Extended query button. Preform new search button does the same thing and is clear to the user. However, the location on the screen needs moving


 * Output to Map
 * 44. If in Restricted access add a button "Back to extended Search" to return to extended search screen
