## Pathology and Non-Metrical Variation Recording

Bone ID
This field cannot be altered by the user, and is transferred automatically from the main recording form.

Pathology or Non-Metrical Variation Type
Users can either type in the desired abbreviation, or choose the full name from the combo box. It currently includes many of the general pathologies and non-metrical variations likely to occur on a general assemblage. Users are welcome to customise this list to include more abnormal categories, through the use of the customise form.

Zone
If the species and element combination chosen has a diagnostic zone image, this can be launched by clicking the Zone Diagrams button. (See the list of all diagnostic zones, and the explanation page for more information.) Users may also wish to record other values in this field, which can contain up to 20 alphanumeric characters.

Notes
This field allows users to enter details relating to the pathology or non-metrical variation being recorded. If more space is needed, a scroll bar will appear on the right side of the field.

Finally, users can progress to a new record using the New Record button, thus allowing multiple records to be taken on one bone ID. This is preferred over the navigation buttons at the bottom of the form, as they will not copy over the bone ID. Users can also Delete unwanted records, or Close the form.
