Quick Base; cloud-based access provided through a subscription with CNLM |
| Structure of information |
Section headings on tabs |
Section headings on tabs; information more logically arranged |
| PAR Report |
Printed to PDF; Each section begins on a new page; Some sections could be irrelevant (e.g., Bank, Phasing) and would print out as blank pages with titles only |
Printed to PDF; Sections are printed consecutively without page breaks (i.e., more economy with space) |
| Biological information |
Species selected from drop-down list originally obtained from NatureServe©; Species names may, as such, be obsolete; Habitat type had subjective description, limiting comparability among PARs |
PAR App user enters biological data (e.g., species names); selects natural communities from dropdown list based on CDWF Wildlife Habitat Relationships (CA) or WDNR Field Guide to Washington’s Ecological Systems (WA); For other states or contexts, user can enter custom natural community information directly |
| Iterative entries |
Data that were generated from other inputs (e.g., Research and Development Fund) had to be entered separately after the PAR was generated (e.g., 1% of endowment) |
The two funds (R&D and Legal) that are generated from percentage of endowment are calculated and inserted automatically into the I&C |
| Export function |
None. PAR report is the only output. |
Data tables can be exported to (csv) spreadsheets, in addition to PAR Report (pdf). |
