Biotics is a customized information management system designed to support the latest developments in the Natural Heritage methodology used by NatureServe. It allows the entry and management of data related to Elements of biological diversity, Element Groups, Element Occurrences (EOs), Source Features, Managed Areas (MAs), Conservation Sites (Sites), scientific names, references, and contacts. It also provides seamless access to spatial representations of EOs, MAs, and Sites developed in the Map and displays the calculated spatial attributes.
Biotics provides a web-based interface for data entry and mapping, as well as administrative functions for configuring security, system options, and database extensibility. Biotics 5 is built on ArcGIS Server 10.5.1 and Oracle 12c.
See Using & Getting Help for details.
Biotics 5 is supported on the most recent version of Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge browsers. Confirm that the most recent version of the browser is being used.
Minimum Screen Resolution: 1024x768
Changing the display language differs slightly according to the web browser used.
NOTE: If Chrome is configured to resume sessions on startup then Chrome will try to keep using your previous session, even if you close and restart the browser. This can cause the old language to still be displayed after switching the browser's preferred language settings. If after selecting another preferred language, the login screen still displays in English, then log in and immediately log out. The log out will force the session to expire, and should cause Biotics to switch over to French.
