Habitats

Submitted by MarkWebster on

Could someone please offer me some guidance on how best to complete the "Habitat" section.

I'm a keen recorder and would like to add Habitat information that is of use to researchers but as a non professional I never quite know what to select.

Typically I'm on "nature reserves" in urban areas, so I'd have patches of woodland, patches of grassland, and areas of what might be called "scrub" with gorse etc.

Do I have to add all entries to one list at one time?

Submitted by JulesA on

Hi, I'm pretty slow at adding records and if I've caught a lot of moths and don't want to enter them all in one go, can I upload some and do the rest later? If the date and location are the same will they automatically be put together or will iRecord create separate them in some way? Thank you. 

 

 

Editing records recorded on the app as part of a survey

Submitted by CharlieLimaBravo on

I have records entered as part of a plant survey which have a error. In one particular case marked as sensitive in error. In another the grid reference is incorrect. How can I corect these? When trying to edit the records the only options offered appear to be either to alter the taxon name or delete the record.

Select by Local Authority area

Submitted by Natalie Harmsworth on

I would like to filter records on one Local Authority area (Scottish Borders), but I do not see this as an option. Is there any way to do this other than having to select all the respective vice-counties, which do not match up entirely with the Local Authority boundary?

I believe I asked if Local Authority boundaries could be added to iRecord years ago. Very disappointing, it would appear they are still not available, especially as the Local Authority dataset is open source - unless I have missed something?

Records not appearing in Activity

Submitted by vivien.kent@gm… on

Hi - I have recently set up a new Activity for a Friends of Group however records I have entered are not showing up in the Activity area. I can't see what I have done wrong that is stopping them appearing. Can anyone help or give me a pointer as to what I may have done wrong?

Thanks
