What Wildbook should this feature be in? Flukebook

What would you like to see?

It would be useful to have a way following matching, to delete multiple encounters easily, so that we can keep only the best images of each individual from various aspects on the platform. It would be useful if this could be filtered by sighting/occurrence ID as well as by bulk import if possible. The former is useful, because sometimes bulk imports are split by photographer or something else, but still represent the same sighting event.

How would this functionality help you? This would speed up the process of deleting multiple encounters significantly.

If requesting a new location ID, include

  • Is this is nested beneath another location in the hierarchy?
  • Is there a prefix for region-based naming? (optional)
  • GPS coordinates (optional)

Note: Not all feature requests can be accepted, but all of them are reviewed by our product team. We’re unable to provide implementation timelines for accepted requests. We are a small team with many competing priorities. Thanks for your understanding!

I am writing in support of requesting a batch delete feature to be incorporated into the Snail Wildbook and Flukebook.

It would be helpful for the Snail Wildbook to have a way to batch delete multiple encounters that were created from cloned annotations. It would be useful if they could be filtered by date submitted as most of them were submitted on the same day.

These encounters are unnecessary and it would expedite deleting the cloned encounters to efficiently process our unassigned encounters.
