The RhinoOMS Observations modules allow users to submit and validate rhino observation events. All submitted events should be validated by another user to ensure data accuracy.
Specifically, the Mortality/Validate module allows users to check submitted rhino mortalities.
To proceed, please ensure you have the following:
Specify RhinoOMS user (or ALL) who uploaded data. You have the option to view only records that require validation (default) or all records (Validated/Unvalidated). To view all records, click the check box Include validated records to see all approved and un-validated records a user has submitted per rhino. Click View data to view the records.
Select records to validate by clicking on them in the table; multiple
rows can be selected. To un-select a row, simply click on it
again.
As with any table view in RhinoOMS, each column can be filtered and
sorted, and columns can be hidden/un-hidden using the “Column
visibility” button.
Once records are selected, you can click Auto-validate selected
data to view the results of formatting checks and/or click
View selected evidence to view the associated evidence
image/s.
In the “Validation results” pop-up, check the formatting of the
coordinates, gender/s, and age/s, as well as the individual information
(rhinoid, rhinoname, notchingnumber, and species) for the selected
record/s. In the image viewer, examine the evidence image/s for the
selected record/s. The mortalityid for each evidence image is
shown under the image.
In the map, you can see the location/s of all loaded record/s. As
with any map view in RhinoOMS, the map is interactive, so hovering over
the map will show interactive information, the background map can be
changed, features can be hidden/shown, distances and areas can be
measured, and an inset map can be shown.
Once the record/s have been investigated, add or change the evidence
image if needed by clicking:
- Upload missing evidence = add or change the evidence
with an file from your computer
Main evidence must be added
before submission of evidence is allowed; the upload button will be
enabled once main evidence is added (i.e.) supporting evidence cannot be
uploaded on its own. When adding supporting evidence, select multiple
files types all at once when browsing in the correct directory.
Supporting evidence can be a PDF (e.g. veterinary report).
Finally, approve or reject records by clicking one of the following
buttons:
- Approve (without edits) = approves the selected
record/s with no changes.
- Approve (pending edits) = allows the selected
record/s to be edited (e.g. date, GPS, etc) and then approved in a
pop-up window.
- Reject = rejects the selected record/s.
