How do I...? and other questions

Description

Post here if you have any questions about using the site that are not covered in the 'how to' guide.

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?   

Mapping manipulation

Submitted by LouLaw on

I've set up an activity for a Borough Council that covers 2 vice counties but not in entirety. How do I map the actual borough for recorders to establish whether their record is within the boundaries/scope of the activity. Is this possible? Can I create an overlay for the actual Borough that can be saved? Forgive me in advance if this is already covered somewhere. I'm floundering around trying to set this up.

Emails for private activity not sending

Submitted by MalcolmTait on

I've set up a private activity group for a survey. I invited one person with a gmail address without issue a few days ago. I'm trying to invite another person, also with a gmail address, but they are not receiving any invitations or any messages. Can I just check that something isn't broken behind the scenes? It seems really odd. 

Defining 'where' for a group activity

Submitted by swtrmt@gmail.com on

I'm trying to set up a Group Activity for Shropshire Wildlife Trust Reserves.  As Administrator I've set up 15 reserves through 'My Sites'.  I now want to set up the filter for records we want to include.  The What, When, Quality and Source buttons all go to a form to complete; fine.  The Where button goes nowhere.  Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Thanks
