Getting Started


The first screen that you should see after downloading and installing Morpho is shown below. At a minimum, you should enter some Username so that a local profile can be created. (NOTE: See http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/ for information on how to establish a user account on the centralized server so that you can submit/edit centrally stored data packages.)

If you are working only locally, any Username (like 'higgins') can be entered.

Startup Profile Screen


When the 'Finish' button is clicked, a Connection Dialog will appear, as illustrated below. This dialog will appear at the beginning of all subsequent Morpho session. It allows you to login to the central KNB server if you have an account on that server. If you do not have an account, you can just click the Cancel button. Note that you do not need to 'Connect' to search the central catalog, but you do need to 'Connect' to edit or submit data.
