Yes. There are sequences to entering data that may save time. For example, images need to have an identity - they should be affiliated with a specimen that is in a repository and which has a (or marked as having an "unvouchered" status) and the repository number and a taxon taxonomic name should be supplied. Entering that information about the specimen first is useful because often a researcher wants to enter multiple images of the same specimen.
If you are not entering a matrix at the start: it is a good idea to enter the names of taxa and specimens when you begin your project before you enter images. Even if you occasionally need to go back and enter a new specimen number or a new taxon name, work flows faster if you first enter as much of this information as possible. Then you can use the batch media upload feature (see "Adding many images at once") to add many images at once. These images then exist in your workspace and can be affiliated with the taxon and specimen information that you have entered into the database.
If you are entering a matrix at the start: and plan to add media (images) to affiliate with characters cells in the matrix, it is a good idea to then the immediately enter specimen numbers at the start that go with the names of media you plan to load for the taxa in your matrix. Then you can use the bulk batch media upload feature (see "Adding many images at once") to add many images at once. These images then exist in your workspace and can be affiliated with the taxon and specimen information that you have entered into the database.
