Why is the program called "Woodstar"?
There is a very nice little bird, named "woodstar" (Calliphlox). That bird is the talisman of the program. That's all we can say about it...

Working with the program
How should I start?
First try to use one of the already really existing diaries. For this purpose it's necessary to create a new diary as well as locations, routes, areas and points where the sightings are performed. Then you can create entries. You add them into the diary and enter the links to the created locations etc. Finally you add objects - animal units, found nests etc - into entries.

There are "Backup parameters" in the Settings. What is it?
The backup copying is the process of creating a copy of the database you work with. As a result you get the file with extension "fbk". Save it in some good place. If your database gets lost or harmed you can always recover your data.

How to set up the backup parameters?
The frequency of backup copying depends on how often you chang and add the data. If you work with the program every day it is good practice to create the backup copy every day too.
