View Coral looks up a specimen by scanning its tag and shows its details in the Australian Wildlife Traceability System (AWTS). You can view a specimen if you are permissioned for it. You start from the View Coral tile on the Home screen.
Scan a tag to open the details
On the Home screen, tap View Coral. The View coral screen shows 'Press button on your device to view specimen details', with the scanning method switch icon in the top-right. Scan a single coral tag. If you are permissioned to view it, the specimen detail screen opens.
For the scanning methods, see How do I choose or change my scanning method (RFID, QR or Visual ID)?
To learn who can view a specimen, see Who can view a coral specimen on the AWTS mobile app?
What the detail screen shows
The specimen detail screen can include:
Summary: the variety and/or species name (for example, 'Staghorn Coral - Ultra - Large'), a specimen photo if available, species, source code, generation, current owner and country of origin.
Origin location: a map showing where the coral was collected. Tap the map to open a larger, interactive version.
Order details: if the specimen has been packed against an order, the buyer, the destination, and any permit or licence documents (tap a document to download it).
Traceability events: every event in the specimen's life, listed newest at the bottom, each with a date and the organisation that recorded it.
Growth history: a set of date based weight, length and height records.
Photos: thumbnails of all photos captured for the specimen; tap a photo to enlarge it.
Related actions
From the specimen detail screen you can also download permits and licences attached to the specimen's order, or edit a traceability event your organisation created.

Error messages you may see
If a specimen cannot be opened, the AWTS mobile app shows a short message. Here is what the messages you are most likely to see in View Coral mean, and what to do.
Message | What it means and what to do |
'This tag is not registered in the system' | The tag has not been added yet. Use Tag Coral to register a wild specimen, or check you scanned the right tag. |
'You are not permissioned to view details of this specimen' | The tag belongs to another organisation. Contact its owner to receive access. You can only view specimens your organisation owns or has been given access to. |
