This article needs to be the challenge on how to use the plant search to find the plants for the project. This is a great intro to get used to using the search tools and search by name. Adding plants is easy - so let's make it about finding the plants they need. Keep it to one example of each type of situation.
Select your current project.
First – the most important step is to make sure you are adding plants to the right place. On the left sidebar at the very top, you will see two options. Make sure “Project” is selected. (If the buttons are orange, make sure to switch the toggle to “Project”).
Now, make sure the project you want to work on is selected. In many cases, these options will already be preselected. The name of the project will be listed in the banner at the top of the page as well.
Now you can search for plants to add to your project. There are several ways to find plants. You can use the filter by name to look for specific plants. Type in just a few letters to get more results. Or you can use the filters on the left sidebar to find plants based on their characteristics. Better yet, use both tools together.
Add plants to your project
To add (or remove) plants, simply click on the plus icon (in green) in the top right corner of the plant image. A white circle with a check mark will appear once you’ve added it to the project. If you want to remove a plant from the project, click the check mark again.
Please note, if you add a plant and change your mind, PlantMaster will ask if you really want to remove the plant from the project. This is because you will also be removing any additional information about the plant that you’ve stored in the project (information like container size or quantity – not plant data).
Don’t forget there are multiple ways to view the plants. If you want to see a list of the plants instead of viewing them as images, click on the “List” button in the views. Click on the circle next to the plant name to add or remove the plant from your project.
Review your plant selections
That’s it! Once you are done adding plants to your project, it’s time to review your selections. Click on “Projects” in the main menu and select “Active Project” – this will bring you back to the project itself. Here you can review all the plants you’ve added.
If you want to remove any plants while you’re in the project, just click the minus symbol inside a folder icon in the top right corner or just under the circle icon.
(Please note: the purple circles will only appear if you have Areas in your project)
Now you've officially added plants to your first project. You're ready to move on to the next step and create presentation materials from this project! Onward.
