User accounts and access
The program supports registration, sign-in, user profiles, account settings and the administrator panel. The system allows many people to work in one environment, with separate roles and permissions.

Implemented features
ENTOMONE is already a working system for organising entomological data, field observations, photos, sites, datasets and data publication. The following features are implemented and available in the current version of the program.
Datasets and permissions
ENTOMONE supports multiple datasets. A user can work in a selected dataset, switch between datasets and use data access permissions. This makes it possible to manage separate projects, expeditions or data collections in one program, also in a group of several users.

Database permissions
Observation records
The system allows users to add, edit, copy, view and delete observation records. Record lists, search, filtering, trash and record work status, such as In progress and Ready, are available.
Field Notebook - mobile observation entry
ENTOMONE includes a field-work mode for creating quick photographic notes. A user can add an observation, photo, note or breeding record in three clicks. The program reads GPS/EXIF data from a photo and allows the observation point to be set on the map.

Media and galleries
The program handles photos assigned to records and several gallery views: species gallery, site gallery, recent observations and an aggregate gallery. This makes it possible to browse data not only in tables, but also visually.
Google Drive as private media storage
Google Drive integration works in the program. A user can connect their Google account, choose files and use a mechanism for storing media only on their own Google Drive, outside the main ENTOMONE server, which keeps them fully private.
Database Export
Database Export is implemented in Settings. ENTOMONE prepares a ZIP package for databases assigned to the signed-in user, saves it to Google Drive and provides a private download for 24 hours. Exporting filtered records to a file on Google Drive is also available.
Maps, GPS and UTM
ENTOMONE supports GPS coordinates, location accuracy, sites, localities and maps. The UTM Map and map layers are also available, making it easier to analyse the distribution of observations.
UTM Map Generator with base layers
The UTM Map Generator with base layers is already implemented. It supports work with the UTM grid, map base layers and auxiliary overlays, helping analyse the distribution of entomological data.

Help: UTM generator and grid
Dictionaries and taxonomy
The program has its own dictionaries of species, plants and other supporting data, as well as an iNaturalist dictionary for organisms. Support for private user names and taxonomic links with iNaturalist helps users enter data quickly, organise identifications and prepare data for publication.
iNaturalist integration
ENTOMONE supports iNaturalist account connection, taxon mapping, record readiness checks, publishing single observations, batch publishing and updating published observations.
Help and language versions
The program has extensive Help in Polish and English. The interface supports language switching, and public pages of the program can be presented in PL and EN versions.
Planned modules
Larger functional areas that may eventually operate as separate ENTOMONE modules.
Label Generator
A module for generating labels for specimens and records, including label numbers and future EntomoLabels integration.
HTML / KML Generator
HTML and KML export for publication-ready data and points for transfer to mapping tools.
GEO multi-tagging for photos
Assigning different locations to multiple photos and saving geographic data in bulk.
Planned features
User-facing features saved for further design and implementation in the application.
Bulk record creation from photos
Uploading many photos at once will create many records. ENTOMONE will read EXIF, GPS and date data, and starting records may be named unidentified.
Merge records
Combining developmental observations, such as larva, pupa and imago, into one history while preserving media and dates.
Dates and notes per medium
Each photo or medium will be able to have its own capture date and note, independently from the main record date.
PDF attachments for records
Adding PDFs as record attachments, with description, comment, link and storage in the user cloud.
User-defined fields
Custom additional fields that users can enable, disable and adapt to their own workflow.
Custom cards and views
The ability to hide or show selected sections and fields on record cards, species cards and other views.
Other clouds: MEGA and pCloud
Extending photo and attachment integrations with additional cloud services used by users.
Integration with EntomoLabels and Lepidoptera.eu
Connecting ENTOMONE with the EntomoLabels and Lepidoptera.eu ecosystem for labels, data, maps, taxonomy and publication.
