Monthly catch totals chart going haywire?

Issues and bugs
#1

Hi, this morning I saw an interesting post on FaceBook relating to how rat catches go down over winter, with the writer wondering why.

So I decided to look at our catch rates each month and see if we observed the same pattern here at South Titirangi Neighbourhood Network.

This is the chart I get:

Now, straight away I see we have 2 months where the catch total is around 200. This can not be correct, we simply don’t have that many devices out there.

So I checked the trap records and for both of those months, we caught nothing like that number. In February of 2021 we have 6 records, with 1 catch each - so a total of 6. And in July of 2021 we had 35 records with 1 catch each, so a total of 35 catches.

Can someone check this please? It’s important this report is accurate.

I’ve sent this through to our help desk to have a look at

Can you please let me know what filters you used when generating the report. Thanks

Here they are.

For clarity: Dates as shown. Project is South Titirangi Neighbourhood Network, all lines, all trap types, Species = rat (or the 3 types of rat all selected, doesn’t matter).

Other fields as they were.

@davidnblake36 I get a totally different chart. I’m wondering if you’ve accidently created a multi- project report this is a screen shot of what I see, is this closer to what you were expecting

This is what I see, which looks like it’s what you’re expecting to see:

Yes, this is what I see. I hadn’t selected a project when I first posted. I think that’s a relatively new field right?

I don’t see this. I see what scottw has below.

I wasn’t selecting a particular project, I assumed since I was in South Titirangi Neighbourhood Network that I’d see a report for that.

Has the project selection box been recently added?

#10

Yes, this report has recently been changed to allow reports across multiple projects. The table version of this report already did that, so this update was to bring them in line.
