From the Discover Life homepage, follow the
IDnature guides link to the list of current guides,

Add kinds & score characters
From the navigation bar at the top of the page, click on the Menu link.
A menu with several options will appear on the left side of the page.
Below these options will be a list of all of the species that appear in the corresponding 20q.xml file for the particular group of organisms that you will be working with.
In order to score a species for the existing characters that have been selected for the group (a list of these characters will be at the top of the page), simply select the "Add kind; score characters" option in the menu, select the species that you want to score, and click on the "submit" button at the top of the menu.
On the main part of the webpage, a new screen will appear. This screen will allow you to input and/or modify basic information about the reporter (you) and the species.
After making any necessary additions or modifications, proceed down through the list of characters, selecting the appropriate states for the species. After completing the list of existing characters, you will be given ample opportunity at the bottom of the page to input any additional characters and the appropriate state(s).
When you have finished, click on the save button on the right side of the webpage.
After a few seconds, a new page containing the complete html code for the data that you have entered will appear.
