Searching for sites when adding records to an activity

Submitted by kierandawkins on

I have created several site boundaries and included them in a single activity to collect records for them in a single place. If I submit a record to this activity myself I can search for the different sites by name on the record creation page. However, if other members of the group want to upload a record to the activity they are unable to search the sites by name, making entry much more difficult. Is there any way to make the sites I have created available to other members of my activity?

Setting a site

Submitted by CTidnam on

We want to set our site in iRecord on our phones so that whoever uploads a sighting, the record gets collated with others uploading to the same site. However when I go to iRecord and search for the name 'St Paul's Church Camden Square' nothing comes up. When I put the postcode in - NW1 9XG - that postcode does not appear in the drop down. Can you help us register this site so we can start using it?

Thanks

Effect of editing

Submitted by mags49 on

Help!   I edited a record that had been accepted by a verifier.  Having gone in to have a quick look at it, I spotted a typo (woodland 'markings' instead of 'margins') so corrected it in the text.  But now the record is a skeletal record only. 20992053, Agroeca brunnea in Abernethy forest.  Should I do anything now?

Surveying linear features e.g river banks

Submitted by BiodiversityOverton on

Hi, just started using irecord and getting to grips with it!  We'd like to use it for recording a water vole survey. Is there any way of identifying linear features i.e a stretch of river as opposed to general areas e.g 100 metre squares? Also no water voles seen but evidence of presence recorded i.e. latrines and feeding sites.

 

Thanks

Changing location of records in bulk?

Submitted by matthewlewis89… on

Hi all,

I've got some records that a volunteer has submitted via the app, but it seems that they accidentally locked their location some time ago. For each record I have the correct location name, but the latlong is wrong. I can match the written locations to grid refs fairly easily, but manually changing each record feels pretty arduous. 

I was wondering if there's a way for the volunteer to bulk change these records to the correct location?

Thanks in advance!
