Profile page¶
User data¶
Settings¶
Visible email address for project members: Receiv e-mails from the project: Drop profile
ORCID profile¶
Add ORCID profile ID, Load ORCID profile data (if filled correctly)
User information¶
state: normal or master evaluation: A value between 0 and 1; this value comes from data evaluation and user evaluations that apply to us.
Other databases¶
List of all databases manage by yourself.
Activity¶
This part shows the number of uploads and data by yourself. Number of modified records as well. Species statistics: This is a list of species from your uploads and an evaluation of this list.
Interrupted imports¶
While uploading new data using the web forms or file uploads there is an option to save the actual state of the prepared data.
When you save the uploading process your data and settings will be stored in the OBM server. You can restore the saved state by loading its identifier.
The identifiers are generating automatically. In one SESSION and one form there is only one identifier. So, there is no incremental backup!
You can follow your saved imports in the profile page, by click on the “interrupted imports” link.
Sharing data¶
Query results can be stored and shared. In this case, they do not see the data stored in the database with whom you shared a query, but the stored version of it. This stored result state does not change, once created it is completely independent of the database. Anyone with the share link can access the data stored in the query.A share link is a persistent identifier that can be associated with a DOI identifier.
Bookmarks¶
It is possible to save and repeat queries using bookmark links. Bookmarking links are not shareable, they only work when logged in and for their creator. Bookmarks store the query itself, not the result of the query, so changes to the database content will change the results obtained using the bookmark.
Api keys¶
Active API keys. It is an authentication related function. You can follow your connections and manually close them. Mostly the developers use it.
The following page items are optional and related to specific modules allowed in your project.
Modul specific settings¶
Some modules can expose management interfaces here. For example: postgres user creation module, geometry upload module, download request module, etc…
Manage custom geometries¶
This function is only available when the shared_geoms modul allows.
It is possible to upload or draw custom geometries for further action. These action can be make spatial queries or assign geometry to uploaded data.
You can manage the custom geometries in the profile page by following two links: shared geometries and own geometries.
Following the own geometries link you can delete or share, rename and modify the view options of your geometries. The view options are the following: View in spatial selection list and View in upload data - assign named spatial forms list.
Following the shared geometries link you can rename the geometries and modify the view options. You cannot delete the shared geometries!
Create PostgreSQL user¶
Create an active user for one year with read access to the project’s data tables via SQL client programs. Required to use QGIS!
Opinions¶
User opinions about your activities.
