Remove the appended spatial layers from the points download #588

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Reported by Catherine Noble.

I can't see the logic in routinely appending the values of the spatial layers 
"Country - parsed", "IBRA Region - parsed",  "IMCRA Region - parsed", " State - 
parsed" and "Local Government Area - parsed" to the points download. Can these 
be removed?

In the SP, users can select whatever layers they want sampled - and as there is 
no notification of the routinely appended values, they could be doubly 
downloaded.

PS (while a biocache issue - I'll add it here for consistency): In the light of 
above, I'd also simplify the biocache occurrences page by removing the 
following contextual layer facets as they are unlikely to be used in this 
context (and they don't match the appended layers noted above)

IMCRA
IBRA
Dynamic land cover
Vegetation types - native
Vegetation types - present

In the points download these default layers are now pre-selected and cannot be 
unselected.

IBRA and IMCRA regions are the only two (by default - as the SP and WS allows 
users to pick any they want) 'geospatial' fields in records downloads that may 
be handy in some circumstances but this decision needs to be regularly 
reviewed. 

The other issue is the NAME used - which must be consistent. With the 
geospatial layers, the NAME should be used (from the Layers Table), certainly 
NOT the ID which appears currently to be used (e.g., "cl 1054") on optional 
layers. Therefore suggest default 'geospatial' field names in records download 
should be 

IMCRA 4 Regions
IBRA 7 Regions

Default spatial layers are removed.

Renaming layers will be dealt with in issue 697.

Wonderful! (and on prod). Re naming and #697 - bring it on!
