Tool

The Register in Database command is used to register the currently selected shoals to a database. This adds the shoals to the database selected in your SRA file and the attributes of the shoals will be mapped according to the Associations settings in the SRA file. See Edit Record Association File for more information on the database settings in the SRA file.

When shoals are registered in a database, each one is assigned an ID. This ID can be customized for each registration using the ID options fields provided in the registration process. Also, the Registered attribute (shlreg) of the shoal is updated to show the registration status.
