If accessed from By choosing a municipality > Display it returns a list with all possible sites for this municipality, and all options for each of them (see image 12).
If accessed from By clicking on the map, it returns on the same map a menu with all possible actions to this location (see image 11 on previous section).
Options are:
Add sightings on this locality
It will take you to Web interface > Submitting records > Step 3/3: Transmit my sighting > If accessed from add sightings on location or Add precise location (see next section).
Add a precise sighting
It still takes us to [[ Web interface > Submitting records > Step 3/3: Transmit my sighting but adds a section at the top in which to click the position of the individual (see image 13. Note how your observation got associated to a new precise location –yellow line on the map). The system associates this record automatically with the closest location and will show the observation linked to that site. If you want to change to which point it gets associated to, hold CTRL and click on the new predetermined site. Exact coordinates will only be visible for you and for the administrators. Adding a precise sighting is especially useful when we know the exact point of the observation but cannot work out to which predetermined location it belongs to; or for studies that require exact positions, for example when mapping nests or territories.

Both Add Sightings to this location and Add a precise sighting are most useful for partial lists and occasional recordings of some species. To make list with more scientific value, see next subsection Fill a daily form for this locality.
Fill a daily form for this locality
It will take you to Web interface > Submitting records > Step 3/3: Transmit my sighting > If accessed from a list (fill a daily form) (see next section).
This is the preferred option to record lists of observations. It requires more detailed information than if using add sightings on this location or add a precise sighting, but while it takes longer to submit, it also has more scientific value. You will be asked to enter date and time, number of individuals, breeding status, among others. Introducing an atlas code is mandatory if entering observations with that option.
