Adding trap record csv

Help & Support
#1

I have downloaded the trap csv and trap record csv files from one project and I am trying to add these into a separate project. I have added the trap csv with no problems but when I add the trap records csv I am getting this error (attached as a screenshot). Within this file there are one off records. Can anyone provide advice on what has happened here and how I can add the remaining records?

Thanks

@kaitlin can you please send me a copy of your csv and the name of your project and I can have a look at it for you. support@trap.nz

Here’s a description of my own experience trying to import One-off records. In the end I could not figure out any way to do it and so left them out of the project import. They can always be added in later if/when trap.nz adds an import feature.

One-off records each have unique coordinates that once created are instantly retired, so unless you are adding coordinates it isn’t going to show correctly. If you are just wanting your catches to show as numbers, create a “random” trap and call it One-off -shooting or whichever you want to add the records for. Then import the CSV into that installation.

The random trap method would capture the event but it clutters up the project with lots of traps that don’t really exist and it doesn’t map well onto the reporting methods for One-offs. What we really need is a bulk import for One-offs IMO.
