How do I...? and other questions

Spreadsheet upload with obscured location

Submitted by DavidHowdon on

I've got to upload some data soon and the site manager has asked that the location be obscured.  If I enter an individual record this is easy enough to do as there is a setting to obscure the records to 1km, 10km resolution etc.  However I've got a lot of data held in MapMate so easier to do it as a spreadsheet upload than transcribe every record across.  What field do I need to have in the upload spreadsheet and what value does it need to have to obscure records to 10km resolution?

Thanks.

Activity set up

Submitted by chantalvhelm@g… on

Hi

I've set up an activity but am trying to change the Where bit by defining an area using the map tool, but this does not seem to be working as when I check which records are included it does not seem to be including the appropriate records. I've selected the 'include all records defined by the filter regardless of group membership or form used' option on the activities settings page.

Changing name

Submitted by mags49 on

I've tried to find this in the guide, but the screen it shows for editing "who you are"  is not one that I can see.  

What I want to do is change my account so that my full name is not seen, but instead my username appears against records.   

Apologies if that's in the help or guide, searching is not working for me!

 

Thanks

iRecord Pink Error message

Submitted by Sabina Ellen on

Changed a record in response to advice from a verifier several times checking all stages filled but this pink message comes up "Validation errors occurred when this form was submitted to the server. The form configuration may be incorrect as it appears the controls associated with these messages are missing from the form <ul> <li>The value is required <br/>&nbsp:(related to attribute </li></ul>.  Help appreciated please, never had these messages prior to recent updates of iRecord system.

How do I add a Pending member ot my activity?

Submitted by rkw1 on

I hhave had an Activity set up for a while and I have received a request to join my activity.  How do I admit them?  My activity is set up as 'AAny iRecord user can request to join but an activity administrator must approve their membership'.  If I click on the &(1 pending) members on my Activity page I just get a link to the iRecord Home page with recornt sightings added.   I have added members in the past - is this something that has changed after the update last week?

Is there any Support for Account problems

Submitted by gerryswansea on

If there is a problem with our account, we need to have a way fo contacting an administrator, but I cannot find any such available other than this.

There are two ways to use iRecord:

1) Through the internet browser
2)  Through the Android App.

Bizarrely, I cannot sign into the Android App, despite being able to do so through the internet browser.   Failed to Fetch is the error message.
