Bulk Imported Data to Zebra Codex Missing After Upload

[Anastasia]

Thanks for your patience! There are a few things I recommend updating based on what you’ve sent over:

1. Delete any unused fields from your spreadsheet before you upload it. Since you need to manually map each field you import, this will save you time on dismissing fields with no data.
2. Codex no longer requires you to have separate fields for Encounter.genus and Encounter.specific Epithet. They should be put together under a single Species field (“Equus grevyi” vs “Equus” and “grevyi”)
3. The following fields aren’t needed in Codex. It automatically uses the logged-in submitter’s info:

Encounter.submitter
Encounter.submitter0.fullName
Encounter.submitter0.emailAddress

4. You’ll need to manually check every field to map it to the correct option. Codex will do its best to automatically detect the correct ones, but you still need to manually review each one before you confirm the import. Here are some examples of matched fields based on the spreadsheet I reviewed:

Encounter.mediaAsset0.grass = Grass height
Encounter.mediaAsset0.grass_color = Grass color
Encounter.mediaAsset0.grass_species_1 = Grass species 1
Encounter.mediaAsset0.grass_species_2 = Grass species 2
Encounter.mediaAsset0.grass_species_3 = Grass species 3
Encounter.mediaAsset0.habitat_obscurity = Habitat obscurity
Encounter.mediaAsset0.bush_type = Bush type
Encounter.mediaAsset0.other_species_1 = Other species 1
Encounter.mediaAsset0.other_species_2 = Other species 2
Encounter.mediaAsset0.other_species_3 = Other species 3
Encounter.mediaAsset0.rain = Rain
Encounter.mediaAsset0.sun = Sun
Encounter.mediaAsset0.wind = Wind
Encounter.mediaAsset0.female_repro_status = Female reproductive status
Encounter.mediaAsset0.male_repro_status = Male reproductive status
Occurence.individual count= Count of individuals
Encounter.measurement1 = Number of grass species (Refer back to spreadsheet to see what the measurement is of)
Encounter.measurement13 = Number walking
etc.

5. When in doubt, you can cross-check your spreadsheet with the Review Available Fields section of the Bulk Import screen in Codex to ensure the data on your spreadsheet will map to an existing field.
