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?

Unable to upload recording of bat in .wav file.

Submitted by john@themears.co.uk on

I have uploaded a record for a bat I recorded in my local woods. I used the bat specific form, which asks me to upload a recording. However, when I click "Add file" under Media files, the file open dialog box only lists image files, not wav files. How can I upload my wav file?

It lists wav files as supported files so this is odd.
