## OCCURRENCE

### ARB_NT/Species/User Masks (if 'Species'-masks existing)

## DESCRIPTION

### A user mask is a user-definable interface to the database.

## NOTES

### To define new users masks modify one of our examples and save it with a different name.

## EXAMPLES

### See $(ARBHOME)/lib/inputMasks

## WARNINGS

### If there is an 'Edit enable' toggle at top of the mask, you'll need to check this switch before you make changes to any fields.

### If there is no such toggle or if the toggle is checked, all changes will be written to the database without any confirmations.

## BUGS

### No bugs known.
