Add records to your list
To create a working list, you need to select a record from the Search Results Viewer and add it to the Working List Viewer. There are four ways to add a record.

This method allows you to select and add only one record at a time for each germplasm.
1. Locate the desired record from the search results.
2. Click on 
beside the record name to select it.
3. At the top of the Search Results Viewer, click on to add the record to the working list.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 until you have all the desired records in your working list.
Multiple selection
This method allows you to select and add multiple records from the same germplasm group at the same time.
1. At the top of the Search Results Viewer, click to show the different selection options.
2. Click beside Multiple selection to enable it. Make sure that the button turns green ().
3. Locate the desired records from the search results.

6. Repeat steps 3-5 until you have all the desired records in your working list.
Automatic selection
This method allows the system to automatically select and add all single records from a germplasm group (e.g. If germplasm IRRI 154 only has one package/record, it will be selected. However, germplasm IRRI 153 which has two packages/records, will not be selected).
1. At the top of the Search Results Viewer, click to show the different selection options.

If you only enable Automatic selection, the system will only select and add one record at a time. To select multiple, single records, you must enable both Automatic selection and Multiple selection. |
3. Wait for the Search Results Viewer to finish reloading. The system will automatically select all single records per germplasm group.
4. At the top of the Search Results Viewer, click to add the selected records.
5. Review the working list to check the records added.
Add all records to the list
This method allows you to add all the records from the search to the working seed list. Selecting this option is recommended for small and specific search results, and should not be used on large search results.
1. At the top of the Search Results Viewer, click to add all records to the seed list.
2. Wait for both the Search Results Viewer and Working List Viewer to finish loading.
3. Review the list to check the records added.
If at any point you want to perform a new search, you can simply follow the steps in performing a basic or additional search. The records you’ve added to your working list will not be removed unless you clear the working list or save the list.
By default, records added to the working list will no longer appear in the search results. You can change this so that added records will still be seen but greyed out in additional searches. Simply click > toggle Retain selection.
Great job! Once satisfied with the list, you may manage the records in your working list.
Manage your working list
Once you’ve added records, you can rearrange their order or remove them from your working list. There are two ways to remove a record from your list.
Remove single items
1. From the List Viewer, locate the records that you want to remove.
2. Select the records by ticking on the left side.
