Introduction To Uploading Data

2. Uploading Data Types

When selecting a data type to upload, you will need to input specific data structure fields. This allows you to organize your data consistently.

  • Example (Drone Images): When uploading drone imagery, many fields (like Date, Platform, and Sensor) may auto-fill from the image metadata, ensuring consistency. You will need to manually define the Experiment, Location, and Population fields.
  • Workflow: Select data type -> Fill required fields -> Verify metadata -> Click upload.

3. Syncing Metadata

If your images are missing metadata, you can use the Sync Metadata feature to upload a corresponding CSV file. 1. Select the Synced Metadata data type. 2. When prompted, map the CSV columns to the required application fields (e.g., image path, timestamp). 3. The application will automatically handle the mapping for lat, long, and altitude if present in the CSV.

  • Sync Process: Upload CSV -> Map columns -> Confirm.
