For Project Owners: Add a site list.

If your field team can’t log observations in real-time (like during dives, fishing trips, or remote expeditions), adding a site list to your project allows them to log their survey data after-the-fact using a site list. If your site list changes over the course of your project and you want to update it, re-follow the steps below.

Your site list needs to be formatted correctly

—> Prepare a site list with the columns ‘name’, ‘latitude’, ‘longitude’ in the top row (Row 1).
—> List the site names and coordinates below, with no blank cells. Be sure to include any new sites you wish to add.
—> Double check your site list — drop the lat/long values into a mapping tool, like Google Maps, to ensure they are in the right place (no missed negative signs, for example).

Here’s an example — you will be uploading a .csv or .xlsx version to your profile.

A spreadsheet listing underwater locations with their latitudes and longitudes, including Stromatolite Reef, Cliff Jump Site, Surfzone 6, ICCAT BF53, and Aquarium Swim Through.

Then, once you are logged into the dashboard —

Navigate to your team/project.

To do this: (1) Tap ‘Teams’ in the left dashboard menu > (2) select ‘Owned Teams’ in the top menu > (3) select the team you want to add the site list to.

*NOTE: Your profile may have different options, depending on what tools you have enabled.
