Adding observations in SpeciesHub is quick and efficient, typically taking less than a minute. With experience, you'll become even faster!

Follow these steps to add multiple species in one site:

  1. Navigate to the Sites or Map section of the app.
  2. Click on Add button (located in the top left corner on desktop or the bottom left corner on mobile).  
  3. Open the Add New Site dialog.  In the Sites page, the dialog appears immediately. In the Map page, click on the location first to trigger the dialog.
  4. Select "Multiple species" to enter multiple observations at once.
  5. Choose the category of species you plan to add. This helps filter relevant observation types.
  6. Select the observation type from the list. Different species groups have specific observation types and fields. You can select multiple observation types. If an observation type or field is missing, contact support.
  7. Enter Coordinates (only when adding via the Sites page). Click the GPS button to autofill coordinates. You’ll receive a notification if accuracy is low.
  8. Select the Observation Date. Today is the default.
  9. Choose the Observer.  By default, you are the observer. If submitting on behalf of someone else, assign their name. Observer names can be managed in settings.
  10. Set the Owner. The owner can be you or a group. In the first case, only you will see the observation. In the group case, all group members will see it immediately. This is very suitable for organizations or teams. In the free plan, you can be a member of up to five groups.
  11. Add Tags for organization and filtering. Tags help manage large datasets. Use them for project names, species traits, or categories. Previously used tags appear in a dropdown for quick selection. You can manage tag list in the settings.
  12. Enter Notes if necessary.
  13. Complete the first part of the form, then click Next.
  14. On the second page, enter habitat details (if needed). Some fields may be required. Dropdown menus speed up data entry.
  15. Click Next to proceed to the last page.

  16. Select and filter species. Choose species and fill in species-related attributes. Click Add to include a species. Repeat for as many species as needed.

  17. Final Step. Click Save to submit your observations.
