Create new location ID

[Rosemary]

What Wildbook should this feature be in?
zebra

What would you like to see?
Borana and Lewa in LocationID drop down

How would this functionality help you?

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!

Hi @Rosemary! Do these need to go under an existing region (Rwanda, Kenya, South Africa, etc.)?

[Rosemary]

Just as Mpala, they are under Kenya

[Anastasia]

It looks Like Borana and Lewa are already in Zebra Codex as locations.

[Rosemary]

They are not there in excel drop down, they type in Verbatim. Locality column

It sounds like this feedback is about the spreadsheet you’re working with and not Codex itself. You can edit your Excel template to include it or just enter it manually.

Thanks Anastasia, we shall do that.

No problem! You can customize your template however you need to. The standard bulk import template we provide is only meant as a starting point for researchers to build on.
