dataProvTables: Build a table of data providers for bee occurrence records

Description

This function will attempt to find and build a table of data providers that have contributed to the input data, especially using the 'institutionCode' column. It will also look for a variety of other columns to find data providers using an internally set sequence of if-else statements. Hence, this function is quite specific for bee data, but should work for other taxa in similar institutions.

Usage

dataProvTables(
  data = NULL,
  runBeeDataChecks = FALSE,
  outPath = OutPath_Report,
  fileName = NULL
)

Value

Returns a table with the data providers, an specimen count, and a species count.

Arguments

data

A data frame or tibble. Occurrence records as input.

runBeeDataChecks

Logical. If TRUE, will search in other columns for specific clues to determine the institution.

outPath

A character path. The path to the directory in which the figure will be saved. Default = OutPath_Report.

fileName

Character. The name of the file to be saved, ending in ".csv".

Examples

data(beesFlagged)

testOut <- dataProvTables(
data = beesFlagged,
runBeeDataChecks = TRUE,
outPath = tempdir(),
fileName = "testFile.csv")
