Select or create a location during image upload

Locations can be selected from an existing list or created when you upload images into Wildlife Insights. After you select images to upload, you’ll be prompted to select a project where the images will be uploaded. During the upload process, you can either select an existing deployment or create a new deployment. 
If you click the New Deployment button, you can then:

• Assign the deployment to an existing location by selecting a location from the dropdown list
• Assign the deployment to a new location. If you'd like to create a new location, click on the New location button and enter the required details:
  • Latitude and Longitude - 4 decimal places required
  • Country - The country will autofill based on the coordinates entered. If the location is not in the project country (or countries), it will not be accepted. Please review the coordinates and enter them again.
  • A unique Location name (also called placename)

Create a location in Projects Details

You can also create a location or several locations before you begin uploading images. This can help expedite the upload process by pre-populating the location field with a list of your existing locations. To create a location in Project Details: 

• Navigate to Project Details tab
• Scroll to the bottom of the page
• You’ll find a table of Locations and Camera Deployments.
• Click on the green New location button
• Enter a Location name
• Enter the latitude and longitude coordinates (4 decimal places required)
• The country will autofill based on the coordinates you entered. If the location is not in the project country (or countries), it will not be accepted. Please review the coordinates and enter them again.
• Click the white Create button to create a location

Edit an existing location

To edit an existing location, click the green Edit button to the right of any location record. 

If you are editing the latitude or longitude, the green map pin will update to display the location of the updated coordinates. 

Once your edits have been made, click on Save Changes to save your edits.

Search for a location

You can search for a location by name by typing in criteria in the search box in the right-hand corner of the Locations table.

The number of results that match the search/filter criteria will appear next to the New Location button.

Sort locations

There are a variety of ways to help you sort and filter your locations. Simply click the arrow next to a column header to sort by that column.
You can sort by: 

• Name
• Country
• Latitude
• Longitude

The column that sorts locations will display a green arrow next to the column header. You can sort by ascending or descending criteria.
