Just got back from a trip to the Lower Rio Grande Valley and visited a number of locations, some more than once.  Picked up several lifers.  I would like to print a summary report that SUMMERIZES species seen BY LOACTION and marks LIFERS.  In Birder's Diary under the Trip folder in the Reports icon, I cannot select first time seen as one of my report columns.  How can I do this?  I do not want to list the species name multiple time under each location which I visited more than once.  Thanks for the help.

Here is the format I'm trying to create:

Bentsen-RGV SP                total species seen

    check first seen/not    Species name

    check first seen/not    Species name

    etc

Estero Llano SP                 total species seen

    check first seen/not    Species name

    check first seen/not    Species name

    etc

etc

Hi Thom,

Thanks for the nice description and the included PDF file marked up to illustrate this. You are not alone; many others and myself have been wanting this for a long time. I just recently learned how this might be accomplished using the existing 3rd party report tool that BD has used since v3.0. So - look for this complete solution soon.

You don't currently have both capabilities in one report now.

However, with just a slight compromise, you can use the Sightings report to highlight those species first seen (as world lifers, Texas lifers, or annual lifers), but you will get each sighting record entered for every species at each location - and not a summary.
