How do I...? and other questions

I was wondering if there is anyway apart from simply having my iNaturalist’s display name as my real name to “claim” the records transferred over as my own and, as such, receive notifications on the review of said records.

Hi. I have made draft records on the app on my tablet whilst in the field. I now want to complete these on the website on my laptop and add photos, however, they are not listed on "My Records". Do the app and website share my data? I can't add phot on my tablet because I didn't take the photos with it therefore theya re not in my gallery. Thankyou

I am invited to set a licence for photos and other media but it is not made clear what the different licences mean.  It would be helpful to have some guidance on the different licences listed and the implications of each.  If I set a licence on here does this affect my claims to copyright everywhere and if not where is it limited to?  If I don't set a licence what are the consequences with respect to iRecord and its functions?  Thanks in advance.

Hi there. I am trying to set up an Activity for all plant and wildlife records along a long-distance walking route, the Ayrshire Coastal Path.

I initially drew up the route very roughly - aiming to allow records from ~500m inland and up to ~1k out to sea (not sure if this is necessary).

It was brilliant to have a list of records generated so quickly. However, these were seriously skewed, with over 80% moth records. It appears that the way I have drawn the map includes one or more gardens with serious moth trappers!

I uploaded external key but it does not display on the gridview - and cannot seem to choose that field for display.

I would like any iRecord user to be able to explore the data in a private activity, but not to be able to enter records. I have set the activity to be private and then, in the Forms section, selected "Available to anyone" for the "Explore Activity Data". However, non-members can't even find the group when they Browse or Search for activities. Has anyone else managed to do this successfully?

Trying to bulk upload to i-Record

I seem to be required to add the STAGE field (extensive from controlled term list)

Can you tell me what values are appropriate?

I have tried 1 and A but they are rejected.

Does not seem to cover this in the user guide.

Is it possible to share a filter that I have created. I am interested in plant galls, however as gall causers are from a wide range of taxonomic groups they are not easy to locate on iRecord. One possible way around this is to create a filter based on the genus of the gallers. Some non-gallers would be filtered but putting species in would be very time consuming. This is not an insignificant task and would only make sense if the filter could be shared with others. Any ideas?

Is there a way of selecting a series of notifications and marking them all as being read, rather than having to do it individually?

Thanks ,

Colin
