Overview

With observation groups, you can organize your observations logically. This is particularly useful if you want to group your observations for different purposes:

  • For different projects or research purposes
  • For events (e.g. European Moth Night, National Moth Week)
  • Observations from one area (e.g. Naszály, Mecsek)
  • Observations from one trip (e.g. Mecsek 2024.05.18-19)

Observation groups help with:

  • Better overview of your observations
  • More efficient data management and organization
  • Project-based work and research
  • Event-specific observation handling

Example: László Cseke's observation groups Example: László Cseke's observation groups
