The Setup menu is used to select the classification scheme that will be used to define the taxonomy of the species. There is a checkbox to choose between a Guided and an Unguided approach to selecting taxa. In an Unguided approach, students will select taxa level by level and move up a tree until arriving at the genus and species taxa. In a Guided approach, a list of all possible characters or traits is provided in Live Data and a student can go through the list of traits and find a trait that best characterizes the species. Selecting that trait will then build the tree up to the taxonomic level that trait defines or describes. The goal of the guided approach is to have students determine the smallest set of traits that uniquely or best defines the species.
