Create, duplicate, or copy a site

Create a reusable place record for collecting events.

Steps

1. Open the Sites page and select + or Create site.
2. Enter a unique, stable Site ID and select the leader and site type.
3. Record country, state/province, county, municipality, precise locality, and remarks as applicable.
4. Describe habitat type, condition, and observed habitat.
5. Use Duplicate site for similar sites or Copy from project to reuse information from another project, then assign a new Site ID.
6. To move a site to another device without a file, choose Show QR in the site menu and Scan QR on the receiving device.

Duplicating a site leaves its new Site ID and coordinates empty. Verify copied geography and habitat, then add the positions for the new site before using it in an event.
