How do I...? and other questions

I want to organise a record focus on The Parkland Walk LNR in North London. Is it possible to contact or flag up to observers based in the area that there is a survey project in hand and to be able to invite them to take part?

Hi all

Does anyone if it is possible to import pre-existing shape files from an external GIS system into the 'My Sites' section of iRecord? The polygons for sites that we have on our GIS system are very accurate, so it would be better to import them as they are rather than try to replicate them using the 'draw polygon' tool on the Edit function.

Thanks for any help!

I have recently uploaded a number of records via the app and mistakenly thought I had selected my chosen activity to add them to. However, at some point in the process, the app had put me back onto the 'Default' setting and the records did not go into the activity. Is there any way of retrospectively adding the records once uploaded to an activity?

Hi all, is it possible to connect R-Studio to iRecord via an API to access my data directly or would a CSV have to be downloaded an imported manually?

Hello.

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?   

This afternoon I inputted a batch of records via the iRecord website. When I checked the details of these records, I found that they were all marked as "unreleased".

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.

I would like to be able to download all records made for a location, but I am limited to my own, and Activity records.  How can I do this.

Thanks

I am in the middle of a lot of verification from iNaturalist and suddenly I get 'Elasticsearch query failed' before every action I take. I can carry on if I press OK once or twice each time, but it's making an already long job even longer. Is there a way to avoid it appearing?
