Fill-down and import values

You'll find two buttons: Fill Down Value and Paste Into Column on many Annotare pages. They allow you to populate multiple rows of data efficiently. Fill Down Value works like autofill in Microsoft Excel/OpenOffice Calc, whereas Paste Into Column allows you to import (copy) rows of data from a spreadsheet and insert (paste) into Annotare.

Fill Down Value

In this example, organism part will be automatically populated in the 9 remaining rows:
