What happened?
I assigned an alternate ID to USA-L0632. Named the shark Ginny. This was a paid-for adoption. I went into each encounter and added Ginny as the Alternate ID. I wanted to be sure that if the adopter went to the SAS webpage (without login access) they could pull up the encounters by entering the alt ID. But it does not show up. It does show up if I enter USA-L0632 from the public page.
If I enter either name after logging in, the encounters do show up. So, the alt ID is associated with the encounters, but is not searchable for the adopter.
What did you expect to happen?
I’d like for anyone that adopts a shark and selects a nickname to be able to search using the nickname and have records returned for that shark so they can see if it has been spotted again.
What are some steps we could take to reproduce the issue?
Go to the website, but don’t log. use the search box to find Ginny and then USA-L0632.
