Edit records

Editing records

It is possible to edit records at different stages: before and after synchronisation. While entering your records, it is also possible to make minor modifications.

To modify data while entering: Use the back button to move to previous screens and re-enter the data. Note data is not yet saved and you loose it by going back. You need to enter it all again from the point of modification. Use the cross button to cancel the current record and start again. The record is not saved so rather than modifying it, you will re-start entering the observation. Use the add / substract function to modify the number of individuals while entering a list later.

Before synchronisation

Before synchronization, your observations are solely on your mobile device and therefore can be edited from NaturaList.

With the List button

After entering an observation, you can modify the basic information you just entered by accessing the list of species in your phone. To do so, click on the list icon from the Place screen (see image below) and click on the record to modify.

After selecting the record to modify, you can change the number of individuals, the age and sex of those individuals, or update the atlas code (see image). You can also delete the record.

After synchronisation

To synchronise records see wiki section Mobile interface > Subitting records > Synchronisation.

After synchronisation your observations are already submitted and published, and no longer editable from NaturaList. To edit (or delete) an already synchronised observation go to the local portal representing the territory the observation took place. Find a list of local portals at Various > Local portals. To log in into the local portal use the same credentials you use for NaturaList. To see how to edit records from the local portal see wiki section Web interface > Local portals > Editing records. When no local portal exist for the area it is impossible to edit or delete a record after synchronization.

Deleting records

It is possible to delete records in NaturaList after entering them and before they have been synchronised. Access your data like for editing and select the Delete option.

Once your records have been synchronised, delete any by accessing them through the local portal.
