Yes. When you search for public encounters you want to add to a project, expand the Metadata filters menu and under Assigned to user choose “Public Data Submissions” as the username. You can refine which public encounters to include using additional search filters.
That’s not likely to change. There’s a high likelihood of public users arbitrarily choosing an unrelated project and creating more work for the researchers managing that project in cleaning up erroneous data.
Not currently. It sounds like a good candidate for a Feature Request if you want to make a new post for it.
In general yes, from the search bar in the top navigation of the site.
But if you’re trying to add a specific, single encounter to a project your best option with the current setup will likely be to enter as many of the known encounter’s details in the search filters.
You can also bulk import new encounters into projects so you don’t have to upload them first and then add them to a project later: Projects - Wild Me Documentation
Thanks Anastasia, I’m still struggling to add public encounters to the project though. When I find the public encounter I want (a test encounter I made) and go to project management it says I cannot add it. See screenshots below.
Oh, that’s interesting. I’ll have to do some testing to find out if there’s something specific to public encounters causing this. I’ll let you know when I have an update.
If you let me know which public encounters you want added to the project, I should be able to do that for you so you have it ready for your presentation. While I was testing, I was able to add public encounters to projects from my admin account, but not from my researcher account.
I’m waiting to hear back from my teammates to work out whether this is a bug or whether there’s a reason behind not letting public encounters get assigned to projects.
