Activities don't appear in phone app

Submitted by Simon Olley on

I'm new to iRecord:

I've set up two accounts. The first is for my friends group who want to run an activity. The second is my personal iRecord account. Using the first account I set up the survey activity and added my personal account details as an administrator. When I logged onto my personal account I was able to add the activity and can see myself there as an administrator. However, when I log into iRecord on my iPhone (7+) and select Activities from the menu I get a screen saying 'Sorry, no activities data is available at the moment. I'm not in training mode.

 

Importing GIS shape files for sites?

Submitted by HS Rangers on

Hi all

Does anyone if it is possible to import pre-existing shape files from an external GIS system into the 'My Sites' section of iRecord? The polygons for sites that we have on our GIS system are very accurate, so it would be better to import them as they are rather than try to replicate them using the 'draw polygon' tool on the Edit function.

Thanks for any help!

Retro-adding records to an activity

Submitted by pennyinsole@gm… on

I have recently uploaded a number of records via the app and mistakenly thought I had selected my chosen activity to add them to. However, at some point in the process, the app had put me back onto the 'Default' setting and the records did not go into the activity. Is there any way of retrospectively adding the records once uploaded to an activity?

Activities

Submitted by JonathanWallace on

How do activities interact with each other and with general uploading of records?  For example, if I have a record that is applicable to more than one of the activities I am a member of (e.g. an activity relating to a particular taxonomic group and another relating to a particular place or area) will it automatically get linked to each of the activities whose criteria it meets or just the one I choose to upload it to?  If they are not automatically linked is there a way in which the uploader can link records to all relevant activities him/herself?
