First, kindly add “Sample ID” column on codex metadata. It is there in Excel Wildbook standard format but not in codex.
Secondly, when we go through John Naisiki data, we can’t see sample ID’s from the old data transferred from WILDBOOK to Zebra Codex. Each Individual had its sample Id for genetics lab analysis so its very important to get it. How can it be retrieved back?
Thirdly, John says while exporting excel data sheet to Codex, he ignored sample Id instead of confirming since it couldn’t match with anything. Can that step be redone without going through the whole upload process again? Or he can add it in metadata during identification.
Do you mean that when you submitted a bulk import, it flagged the Age and Behavior field data as invalid and then you had to manually correct it in Codex? If so, an you email your spreadsheet to services at wildme dot org so I can research this? What was your original input for the age?
After adding sample ID manually to already identified individuals in codex that’s when Age and behavior flagged off. However, without the sample ID addition, everything was OK.
What is the way forward since we need the sample ID added to every individual in John’s data.
Ahh, I understand now. Thanks for clarifying that. Let me raise this with the team to find out why it’s requiring Age and Behavior when Sample data is detected.
It sounds like this is related to a known bug with required fields. This should be fixed by the time version 2.0 of Codex is ready, but in the meantime keep doing what you’re doing to get the Sample data saved. I’m sorry about the extra steps.
When we re_do the behavior field is working, the challenge is Age since it requires a number. For young ones below 3 years is Ok but for adults its tricky. The reason we fill in that field as just adult.
Is there a way that field can remain as Adult as it is in the excel without asking for numbers?
This sounds like a separate issue than what we were already discussing in the thread. I’ve split this into a new topic so that we can track progress on each issue separately as they may have different timelines to resolution.
@Rosemary please include links to old encounters that originally had Sample IDs in Wildbook that are still not displaying in Codex so I can escalate this for investigation.
I wanted to follow up to let you know that the issue with Age and Behavior requiring data before you safe has been fixed. You should be able to save your encounters without having to add a number for age or the behavior observed. Thanks for your patience while we worked for fix this.
