00:14:00.000 --> 00:00:27.710
So I'm going to move us onto just a quick review of the tools and the partner portal. Where to look for them how they work things to consider and have a little bit of time for questions at the end.
00:00:28.820 --> 00:00:30.170
On on those.
00:00:30.880 --> 00:00:43.970
So I'm starting here from the partner portal homepage. And I'm gonna navigate to my projects and I'm just gonna open up. Wanna actually that's not what I'm going to do. I'm going to go to my projects and add a new project.
00:00:44.630 --> 00:01:09.260
So there's something a little bit new come in the last few months on this page specifically that that some of you may not have had a chance to review specifically in this section right here and under labeled grid cell selection, so this is the same. It's been since we you know launched these tools initially but you have to select your sample frame.
00:01:09.970 --> 00:01:40.530
Uh and then we ask a question about sample design. These questions used to be there used to be a fewer fewer of them and they were phrase a little bit differently, and we recently updated them and so this one specifically asking are you or have you followed grits order? When selecting your survey locations? Yes, or no and these are not dependent the responses to these questions. They're not like one doesn't influence your response to the other. You could click yes or no to all of them.
00:01:42.330 --> 00:01:47.350
And then we're also asking separately if you followed survey protocols.
00:01:48.410 --> 00:02:04.580
And then or whether you followed specific protocols for the purposes of consultation was this part of an experimental design. Is there to control and treatment group and are your data organized by nightly summaries for example, following the bad in tablet.
00:02:05.650 --> 00:02:25.300
And this is mostly information that we just wanna keep attached to your data so that the analyst should they need to refer to it or sort by any of this for example, if a species recovery lead wanted to look for any data that had been collected and Association with consultation that would be possible.
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:51.320
Uh so if you haven't already. I want to encourage everyone with existing projects to go into them and just review with the responses are here, we initiated or or put in some logic to automatically based on prior responses kind of convert them to this template and then also want to just do a quick reminder about the NA bat data use and sharing terms.
00:02:52.430 --> 00:03:16.870
And that uh there's a lot more specificity. That's been added in here in the last year and just one encourage everyone at least once a year to go in and double check that these are still the elections that you prefer for your data within this project as a reminder all the selections. You make on this page are assigned or attributed to all the data within this project.
00:03:18.010 --> 00:03:37.750
Uh another one that has recently been the most recent change or addition is specific questions related to capture surveys because we have fully integrated capture data into the partner portal and database and so now we want to make sure that we have data sharing elections that matched those data.
00:03:39.210 --> 00:04:09.110
So now I'm going to go back out, and I'm gonna navigate to my test project and go to the self selection tool. The cell selection tool is the tool in here that allows whole. It serves 2 purposes. One it helps facilitate following grits order and it also helps you avoid duplicate sampling of the same cell assuming that everyone's current selections for cells selected for survey.
00:04:09.160 --> 00:04:39.090
Are accurate so another request? I have of everybody? Is to go into your projects and make sure that all the cells. You have selected for survey you still plan to survey is this an accurate reflection, R or R and if not if perhaps you have a cell selected for survey that you no longer have resources. You want to release that cell so that someone else knows that it's available to survey if they have the resources and it's within their domain we want.
00:04:39.230 --> 00:05:10.960
That someone else pick that up also, if you're serving cells that aren't reflected here or you have plans this coming season to survey cells that haven't been selected for survey regardless of what protocol you're using or whether you followed the master sample. It's still useful to select those cells for survey so that it's visible within the partner portal tools for others. There are couple. Static layers that allow you to visualize where cells have been selected for survey.
00:05:11.010 --> 00:05:23.180
Or where data have been uploaded in the last 2 years and if you zoom in little you can actually see both layers at once. There's a little bit of a lag here 'cause I'm on teams.
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:55.760
But the this visualization is also available in other Maps outside of the cell selection tool so first. I want to focus on the spatial filter in the map so the first thing you want to do, do when you come here is actually produce or filter for your spatial of area of interest and like I mentioned before this is going to be different depending on the user. But there it is not assumed that everyone that's participating anyone that's participating in any bat is considering.
00:05:55.820 --> 00:06:12.360
The entire continent or even the entire T of Canada or of Kona 's so you want to filter down to what is really your spatial domain or area of interest and so that could be if you work for?
00:06:12.410 --> 00:06:27.680
Or uh a state agency. I live in Colorado so I'm gonna select Colorado. I can select Colorado and hit apply and it'll Add all of the cells within my state to my we call this the evaluation table.
00:06:28.740 --> 00:06:44.280
But let's say I did that and I'm not really considering all of the cells in Colorado because I might be in Colorado, but I'm only interested in the cells that are on Forest Service land so I'm also gonna add for service.
00:06:44.960 --> 00:06:46.160
Yeah ends.
00:06:46.990 --> 00:06:47.360
Fun.
00:06:48.450 --> 00:06:50.930
For some reason, it's not showing up in my.
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:56.930
US Forest Service Boris I know it's in here.
00:06:58.020 --> 00:06:58.770
Come on.
00:07:00.490 --> 00:07:00.950
There we go.
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:06.600
And I wanna highlight these gears right here all of our Maps work the same way.
00:07:08.030 --> 00:07:37.160
If you hit and if you have both of these in the end box. It means that you are looking for somewhere. Both of these things are true. So where do they intersect if you are looking for things that let's say multiple states. If you put both states in the same box. It's only going to give you the cells that are along the border, so it's going to give you a zipper so you'd want to put those both into the OR box if you're considering let's say California and Nevada.
00:07:37.770 --> 00:07:45.940
But for the purposes of this, I'm gonna look at US Forest Service lands that are within the state or intersect with Colorado.
00:07:46.660 --> 00:08:14.330
And so it's subsets my selection to those cells, but you'll notice here that some of these cells are almost entirely outside the state and you can just as a quick highlight double click any cell to either. Remove it from the table on from the map because let's say that's just outside my jurisdiction. I'm truly not considering it.
00:08:15.340 --> 00:08:25.000
So I don't want it on my list. You can also double click any cell to add it to your table. If that is meets your needs or is what's easiest for you?
00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:47.610
Uh but over here on the right and the evaluation table, which you can download and it'll so you can get it in a CSV file if you prefer or have interest in looking at it that way. And it's automatically putting them all in grits order for me, so this is my priority order already in the table, but what I haven't done is selected the survey type so.
00:08:48.440 --> 00:09:18.630
The cell might be selected for one survey type, but not for another and so I need to indicate what am I intending to survey for so let's say I'm considering station acoustic surveys stationary and mobile and so I can look over here and it'll tell me that grid cell 114 grits LID 114, is already selected for survey for.
00:09:18.680 --> 00:09:31.670
Uh stationary acoustic survey type so I'm going down and seeing that. These cells have been selected for survey, but this one down here project 893, I see that's in Nebraska.
00:09:33.730 --> 00:09:40.040
So that might be one that I actually it's it. That means that the majority of the cells outside my state, I may not come.
00:09:40.900 --> 00:10:05.610
Be interested in serving that sell but let's say that I am that it's within my domain of interest. And I have the resources to survey then I would go here and I can select for survey if it's on private property or an area where I don't have access or permission to survey but I would otherwise survey. It then you can say not selected for survey no permission.
00:10:06.990 --> 00:10:22.440
And there's also a suite of other options for why you might not select this for survey. So Kathy mentioned keeping track. The value and importance of keeping track why something wasn't surveyed or YSL was skipped is really helpful.
00:10:23.560 --> 00:10:25.110
And UM.
00:10:26.030 --> 00:10:28.180
Let's see I think there was something else, I was Gonna.
00:10:28.850 --> 00:10:41.680
Consider or say anyhow, but let's say this is too far away from me. I don't have the resources to reasonably get there and survey so I'm gonna say not selected for survey no permission.
00:10:43.110 --> 00:10:52.040
Or sorry lack of Resources, which is the default not selected for survey lack of resources. One thing I will add is there are.
00:10:52.090 --> 00:10:53.620
For us.
00:10:54.420 --> 00:11:12.550
1000 cells in this table, I wouldn't expect that anybody can survey, 1000 cells So what happens or how you should treat this as you're going from top to bottom skipping over the ones that are already selected for survey by that survey type because we don't we're not looking for duplicate surveys.
00:11:13.280 --> 00:11:36.250
I'm skipping over the ones where you don't have access or land permissions to go to and then selecting as many cells. After that, as you have resources and means to survey and then you stop once you run out if I only have the resources to serve a 4 cells, then once I've selected those 4 cells. I stop and everything in my list will default to.
00:11:36.850 --> 00:11:39.490
Not selected for survey lack of resources.
00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:41.630
And that'll get preserved.
00:11:42.420 --> 00:11:56.190
And then you wanna hit save which I'm not gonna do because I don't actually want to select anything here for survey, but you click save and it'll preserve all that information in your project. Those that have used you've selected for survey or not, and the reasons why.
00:11:57.640 --> 00:12:22.350
Uhm let's see I'm just looking at my checklist to see what oh another thing I wanted to highlight here is that you can click on any of these grid cell IDs and it'll zoom you into that cell where it's located so you can see OK? Where is sell 114? Where is sell 125 and it'll just jump you to that cell?
00:12:23.490 --> 00:12:26.430
If you need that information to make your selections.
00:12:27.290 --> 00:12:44.500
And there's also a bulk change feature so if you want to make changes to everything that's in your table for any reason. That's what this tool right here will do and it'll just take everything and you can make one designation for for all of them in that list.
00:12:45.240 --> 00:13:11.090
Uh and then I think the last thing here is just a reminder that we want to make sure that these selections are as up to date and accurate as possible, especially as we start getting closer to spring when folks maybe starting planning for summer surveys, making sure that yourself selections are reflect your actual plans. Brian I saw that you turned your screen on Mister sent me wanted to add.
00:13:11.700 --> 00:13:15.510
No, it just was gonna mention the history button, there, so you can see.
00:13:14.990 --> 00:13:15.590
Oh, right.
00:13:16.450 --> 00:13:19.260
What the selection history is for any given cell?
00:13:19.310 --> 00:13:19.580
No.
00:13:21.450 --> 00:13:52.100
So that's potentially helpful for some of you and then there's also one of the other intended uses of this tool is to see where you can collaborate so if there's you know if you're only going to sample potentially the grits so ID 114 and and you want to reach out to Samantha pounds. You can there's an option to do that and say look I can I can catch this cell if you want to grab you know another one further down the list and that's really this collaboration component of the.
00:13:52.560 --> 00:13:53.690
At the cell selection tool.
00:13:57.120 --> 00:13:58.470
Any questions.
