Checklists

As used by the DDB, 'Checklists' provide a general-purpose way of grouping or applying attributes to record data.

Checklists consist of a set of 'key' values which link to a field (e.g. a taxon name). Each item in the checklist set may optionally have a data value associated with each key.

The currently available checklists are listed below, these can also be selected by name from the 'checklist' field on the search form.
