Mandatory fields include SPECIES GROUP, SPECIES, SITE LOCATION, NAME and EMAIL. - Set your DEFAULT NAME and EMAIL so you don’t have to enter those details in every time you submit a record. - Once you have saved your records to the application, don’t forget to complete your FINAL UPLOAD; best done with when experiencing good network connectivity. Would you prefer to record in the comfort of your own home?
