Can I link an existing record to an activity?

Submitted by alexisgomes1988 on

Hello, new here, so I'm still getting used to the database.

I have created a new activity and wanted to link some records I have been submitting, to it (I have been adding records one by one, but they are part of a survey).

However, I have been looking everywhere for any option to do this, by opening the records in de 'edit' mode.

Is this at all possible to do? Or do I need to delete my records and start it all over again, to link them to the activity?

Any help will be very much appreciated!

Many thanks!

converting iRecord plant species names to BSBI names (UK species inventory to Stace 4)

Submitted by juliawilson on

My understanding is that iRecord uses the UK species inventory list, while the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland uses Stace 4.

Many of the species names are the same, however occasionally they are not (e.g. iRecord uses Phyllitis scolopendrium for Hart's Tongue Fern, whereas BSBI uses Asplenium scolopendrium).

I need to convert iRecord data to BSBI/Stace 4

There must be a way of checking and converting.

Can anyone suggest how?

thank you

 

 

Downloading

Submitted by LundyFieldSociety on

I compile terrestrial invertebrates records for the Lundy Field Society's annual report.

I should like to be able to download all Lundy Records for 2025 so that they can be reported on.

I can create a filter for the year but is there any way that I can get permission to download these records into a spreadsheet so that they can be analysed?
