4 years ago @dimasciput Some variables missing in dropdown list for: Water surface width : <1; 1-2; 2-5; 5-10; 10-20; 20-50; 50-100; >100 m Water level : Dry, Isolated pools, Low flow, Moderate flow, High flow, Flood
Then for add abiotic data Sometimes the variable is served twice....e.g pH, please only return once for each variable.
Please add units in parenthesis after variable so that the user knows what measurement they need to capture the data in. e.g. Total phosphorus (mg/l).
Please use the list above.
How easy would it be to add the option to Add new variable? This could be for another version.

@helendallas On reflection lets keep things simple.
For all data capture (algae, invertebrates, SASS and fish) we had envisaged capturing biodiversity data first, then prompting the user to Add abiotic data. They would then go to the Abiotic Data Form, where they would have five Categorical variables populated with a dropdown list; and could then also add data from a list of continuous abiotic variables. If they had no abiotic data, they would just move straight on to adding the Source reference for records.
We envisaged these data being stored in the same way as Rivers DB and Biobase data is, and then served in abiotic graphs (DO, Cond, pH and Temp) and in the csv file.
Categorical variables populated with a dropdown list | Dropdown list
Water surface width : <1; 1-2; 2-5; 5-10; 10-20; 20-50; 50-100; >100 m Water level : Dry, Isolated pools, Low flow, Moderate flow, High flow, Flood Water turbidity : Clear, Discoloured, Opaque, Silty Canopy cover : Open, Closed, Partially Open Embeddeddness : 0-25, 26-50, 51-75, 76-100
Continuous variables populated with dropdown/predicted text? Sorted alphabetically | Unit Aluminium | mg/l Ammonia nitrogen | mg/l Ammonium nitrogen | mg/l Bicarbonate | mg/l Biological Oxygen Demand | mg/l Calcium | mg/l Carbonate | mg/l Chemical Oxygen Demand | mg/l Chloride | mg/l Chlorophyll a | mg/l Conductivity | mS/m Depth | m Dissolved inorganic nitrogen | mg/l Dissolved organic nitrogen | mg/l Dissolved oxygen | mg/l Dissolved Oxygen: % saturation | % Fluoride | mg/l Iron | mg/l Kjeldahl nitrogen | mg/l Lead | mg/l Magnesium | mg/l Near bed velocity | m/s Nitrate nitrogen | mg/l Nitrite nitrogen | mg/l Particulate organic matter | mg/l pH | Potassium | mg/l Silica | mg/l Sodium | mg/l Soluble reactive phosphate (= PO4-P) | mg/l Submerged macrophytes | % Sulphate | mg/l Temperature | deg C Total alkalinity | meq/l Total dissolved solids | mg/l Total inorganic carbon | mg/l Total nitrogen | mg/l Total organic carbon | mg/l Total organics in TSS | mg/l Total phosphorus | mg/l Total suspended solids | mg/l Turbidity | NTU Undercut bank | % Woody debris | %
