Protocols are standardised ways of collecting data linked to a geometry (points, transects or polygons). The methodology to follow depends on the study's goal. A country administrator will grant you access if you meet certain criteria. Not all protocols are available in all countries. See which protocols are available in which country at.... and see which criteria at....


To access your list of protocols, go to Menu > Take part > All my protocols. It lists all protocols you have access to in this local portal (see image below).<br/>

===Add observations===
<br/>
<br/>


Click on '''Add observations''' (see image below) in the site you need to enter data to.<br/>
<!--T:38-->
The easier way to access all functions of a protocol is through the protocol panel. Go to Menu > Take part > All my protocols. It lists all protocols you have access to in this local portal (see image below). Depending on your rights you could also access the protocol panel through the Administration section: Menu > Administration > Protocol administration > [[Media:Protocol administration.png|Protocol administration]]. Options vary depending on your rights (administrators have access to more functions).<br/>

:'''8. Continue with the basic list'''<br/>
<!--T:65-->
Select to load a species list strictly related to the protocol (ie. waterbirds). It will facilitate entering data. See an example of how it may look like in image [[Media:2023-05-20 Example of a basic list.png|Example of a basic list]] compared to an [[Media:2023-05-20 example of extended WBC list.png|Example of extended list]]. Which species belong to a basic list is determined by each local portal and may differ from one to another.
 
If no list appears means that no pre registered species list exist, just enter your data as usual.<br />
<br />
 
:'''9. Continue with the extended list'''<br/>
Select to load a species list strictly related to the protocol (ie. waterbirds) along with other related ones (ie. reed-living species). It will facilitate entering data. See an example of how it may look like in image [[Media:2023-05-20 example of extended WBC list.png|Example of extended list]]. Species included in a basic list and an extended list are determined by each local portal and may differ from country to country.
 
If no list appears means that no pre registered species list exist, just enter your data as usual.<br />
<br />
<br />
 
:'''10. No species were seen''' <br/>
Check if your survey did not provide any data. Surveys with no species are also important results! It will mean you followed the established methodology, and therefore your survey is valid, but no birds were present. They can indicate major population changes and are of extreme importance for conservation purposes. <br />

====Starting the protocol====
===Download map===
<br/>
<br/>


Before entering observations, it is required to enter general parameters regarding the protocol. Parameters are protocol specific. Fields marked with an asterisk are mandatory. <br/>
<!--T:319-->
It is possible to download the map, for example if you cannot record observations on your device while in the field, or to keep a second copy of your data for dataproof. You can choose the map layer (available layers depend on the local portal), the transparency of the map and the colour mode (colour vs. black and white), in any combination, and download as a pdf file. <br/>
<br/>
<br/>


See wiki section Web interface > Protocols > Preparation and data > Add obseravtions > [[Protocols_web#Starting_the_protocol|Starting the protocol]] for details. <br/>
<i>Note final design depends on the protocol and the local portal. </i><br/>
<br/>
<br/>
 
<!--T:320-->
The PDF file displays: <br/>
 
<!--T:321-->
- the map of your protocol area with the polygon, points and/or transects to survey <br/>
 
<!--T:322-->
- a QR code that, when scanned, drives you directly to the place on the map while entering data on the web <br/>
 
<!--T:323-->
- the name of the local portal the map comes from <br/>


[[File:PC Parameters.png|700px|thumb|center|Point count. Parameters]]<br/>
<!--T:324-->
<br/>
- the GPS coordinates, Atitude, Reference place name for the polygon, points or transect, and Reference name <br />

Check if your survey did not provide any data. Surveys with no species are also important results! It will mean you followed the established methodology, and therefore your survey is valid, but no birds were present. They can indicate major population changes and are of extreme importance for conservation purposes. <br />

Protocols are standardised ways of collecting data linked to a geometry (points, transects or polygons), taxonomic group and observation pressure.

The methodology to follow depends on the study's goal (see summary on Protocols' summary table).

A country administrator will grant you access if you meet certain criteria.

Not all protocols are available in all countries.



Accessing protocols




Access protocols from
Menu > Take part > All my protocols for an easy access to all functions you are allowed access to.



The easier way to access all functions of a protocol is through the protocol panel. Go to Menu > Take part > All my protocols. It lists all protocols you have access to in this local portal (see image below). Depending on your rights you could also access the protocol panel through the Administration section: Menu > Administration > Protocol administration > Protocol administration. Options vary depending on your rights (administrators have access to more functions).

Accessing protocols.



However, there are other ways that in certain conditions may give access to some of the functions (see following sections).

Entering data


Enter data to a protocol from the protocol panel (see above) or as if submitting records.

To enter data as if submitting records,

1. access the page STEP 1/3 : Approximate choice of a site either from main menu or from Submit button.

Entering data on a protocol as if submitting records.



2. Choose between:

· choosing from

Only available if you have already entered data on this protocol and study site.
Select a protocol, and a site (if there is more than one option for this protocol).


Entering data on a protocol choosing from.

1. Select a protocol from those you already entered data before into.
2. Select a study site from those available to you at the selected protocol.


· by clicking on the map.

click anywhere within the polygon if you want to enter data on a protocol using polygons, or
click on the protocol dot if you want to enter data on a protocol using dots.


NOTE: Show / hide polygons clicking on the layers icon on the top left corner of the map, and check the cell polygons (see image below). Polygons will be shown in yellow.

Showing polygons on the map.

1. Open layers menu.
2. Check Polygons cell to show polygons.


· Other options (by typing text, by choosing a municipality).

Access to Step 2/3: Precise site choice. Scroll to your study site.


Step 2/3: Adding observations to a protocol.


3. Select Add observations on the new window (see image below).

Adding observations to a protocol.

[Back to Protocols]

Modify protocol


Modify protocols from

· the protocol panel. Go to Menu > Taking part > All my protocols > "Name of the protocol" > Preparation and data > Modify the protocol. See wiki section above, Local portal > Protocols > Accessing protocols.

· submitting records.

1. Access the page STEP 1/3 : Approximate choice of a site either from Main menu > Taking part or from Submit button (see image as an example).
2. Scroll down to choosing from if you have already entered data at the site you want to modify; or by clicking on the map to select the site from the map.
3. Click on the site to modify and select Modification of a protocoled census if you accessed from choosing from; or Modify the protocol if accessed from the map.
NOTE: If the protocol you want to modify works with polygons, activate polygons from the layers icon at the top left corner (see image Showing polygons on the map) before clicking on the study site.

Create protocol


Create a new area to survey.

Not all users have access to this function. It depends on the protocol, your local portal and your rights. If you do, access the map as if entering observations and click anywhere on the map (except on a dot or polygon). Click on Create a protocoled census. If you are allowed to create a new study site in more than one protocol, all options will be listed (see image below).

Selection of study site


Some protocols create two random squares within a selected area. Users and/or administrators can then select one of the squares to survey on.
Observers can be assigned a study site by the administrator or can be allowed to select one by themselves.



Protocols with random square selection
· SHOC
· STOC EPS
· STOC ONF



To select your study site:
1. Go to Menu > Take part > Transmit my sighting, or

Press Submit button on home page.

2. Scroll down to "by clicking on the map" and zoom in until you see the locations.
3. Select a place to create the protocol at and click on "Create a protocoled census -'name of protocol'", as explained in wiki section Administration > Protocol management > Site.
4. Select one of the two squares created randomly by the system within an radius of 10 km from the selected point (see image below). You will receive an email with instructions. Either:

Accept square, or
Reject square.


Randomly created survey squares.

1. Limit of a 10 km radius
2. Randomly created survey squares




NOTE
. Random squares are created only once. It is not possible to close and enter again to change the random selection.
. The observer should select one of the squares. If both squares are rejected, an explanation is required and needs to be validated by an administrator. Meanwhile, it is possible to create another study site at a different place.


Once a square is accepted,
3. Name the new survey site as explained in wiki section Administration > Protocol management > Site.

Name the new study area.

1. Name of reference locality: Location name under which all observations of the protocol will be associated to.
2. Reference name: Name/Code automatically assigned to the square.
3. Custom name: Additional name to the site if known. This name can be changed afterwards.



4. Start drawing your site. Visit wiki section Web interface > Geometry editor for more information on using the drawing tools. Remember you can also import a shapefile.

9. Start entering data


Choosing list. Example..



Options may differ from protocol to protocol but can be summarised as:

NEXT: Continue entering data normally.


CHOOSE A LIST TO ENTER DATA: Some protocols make a distinction between a Basic and an Extended list (see image Continue to enter data as an example).


BASIC LIST: Select to load a pre configured species list strictly related to the protocol (ie. waterbirds). It will facilitate entering data. See an example of how it may look like in image Example of a basic list compared to an Example of extended list. Which species belong to a basic list is determined by each local portal and may differ from one to another.


EXTENDED LIST: Select to load a pre configured species list strictly related to the protocol (ie. waterbirds) along with other related ones (ie. reed-living species). It will facilitate entering data. See an example of how it may look like in image Example of extended list. Species included in a basic list and an extended list are determined by each local portal and may differ from country to country.


If the administrator of the protocol did not prepare any pre configured list for this protocol, you will not be given any list of species to enter from; but you will still have to choose a list option in this section.


NO SPECIES / INDIVIDUALS WERE SEEN: Indicate if your survey did not provide any data. You will be taken to directly to end the protocol. Surveys with no species are also important results! It means you followed the established methodology, and therefore your survey is valid, but no birds were present. They can indicate major population changes and are of extreme importance for conservation purposes.


ENTRY WITH LIST OF SPECIES ALREADY SEEN: Select to load a list with species previously recorded for this protocol at this study site.


ENTRY WITH LIST OF THE MOST FREQUENT SPECIES: Select to load a list with species recorded frequently for this protocol at this study site.


CENSUS NOT DONE: Indicate if you did not survey a certain point, transect or polygon for the protocol, but you did survey another points of the same protocol.




"My survey did not provide any data"
Surveys with no species are also important results! Please submit them.
It means you followed the established methodology but no birds were present. It can be due to methodology, disturbance, pollution or other major population changes and may be of extreme importance for conservation purposes.

Entering observations


According to the protocol, there are different ways to enter observations to the protocol.
Click on the protocol that most resemble your protocol to see details.

All existing models can be grouped in:
·Number of individuals: those requiring to enter only the number of individuals of each species observed.
·Distance of individuals: those which besides the number of individuals, need to be grouped according to the distance to the observer.
·Position of individuals: those that require positioning the individual on a map.
·Acoustic data: it is special and only available for Acoustic data protocol.
·Number of passages: those that group the observations according to the census.
·Count per sections: those in which the study area (transect) is separated in sections.


Additional information can always be entered besides the minimum requirements:
·Use to open additional information panel.

Download map


It is possible to download the map, for example if you cannot record observations on your device while in the field, or to keep a second copy of your data for dataproof. You can choose the map layer (available layers depend on the local portal), the transparency of the map and the colour mode (colour vs. black and white), in any combination, and download as a pdf file.

Note final design depends on the protocol and the local portal.

The PDF file displays:

- the map of your protocol area with the polygon, points and/or transects to survey

- a QR code that, when scanned, drives you directly to the place on the map while entering data on the web

- the name of the local portal the map comes from

- the GPS coordinates, Atitude, Reference place name for the polygon, points or transect, and Reference name

Protocol. Download map.

50% transparency: Check to print the map with 50% of transparency (see image Example 50% transparency, default map on top, transparent map below).

Map: Check to print the map in black and white (see image Example black and white, default map on top, black and white below). It may help to reduce ink and is compatible to back and white printers.

Lines/points: Check to delimit the polygon to survey with dots instead of lines (see image Example lines and points, map with lines on top (defalut option), with points below).
