Adding Irrawaddy dolphin (Orcaella brevirostris) to the species list.
Adding 4 new location ID to be able to monitor separate populations (with relative access rights to collaborators)/
How would this functionality help you?
separating access and databases for 4 distinct populations.
If requesting a new location ID, include
Is this is nested beneath another location in the hierarchy?
Philippines
Is there a prefix for region-based naming? (optional)
Honday Bay = HB
Malampaya Sound = MS
Quezon/Rizal = QR
Negros Occidental = NO
GPS coordinates in decimal format (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!
Are you ok if I format “Quezon/Rizal” to “Quezon and Rizal” or “Quezon-Rizal”? Some punctuation marks can cause issues as location names, so I want to simplify it to prevent any issues down the line. Let me know which way your prefer.
I mentioned this over email, but I don’t think I got a response to it yet. You’re asking about location IDs and location-based roles, right? Flukebook can support location-based roles, though they’re not really used as often as they are in other Wildbooks. Location-based roles give a user edit access to all encounters with that location ID; it’s not species-specific. Let me know so I can configure that file if needed for the new sub-locations.
One last question: Do you use the dorsal fins for identification on Irrawaddy dolphins? We have just set it up to identify dorsal fins, but if you also use any body markings or ID with other body parts, let us know so we can add the correct IA classes for it.
Quezon-Rizal sounds good. It does not really matter on our side.
Ideally, yes. I would like to provide access to a specific location catalog to the site’s Park Authorities, so they can access the data directly.
We can set up the access later on, no rush. I will need at least a month to populate the catalog.
Identification is primarily done by dorsal fin, but we also use body markings, although they dont seems to be very reliable beyond one season, as the skin heals pretty well. If there is a way to run a second AI model in case the first (dorsal fin) fails to match, or have both running at the same time will be amazing.
