Migrating Photopoints

Learn how to migrate photopoints to another project
By default photopoints can only be migrated by the Project Administrator. The Project Administrator will also require access to the 'new' project you wish to migrate the photopoints into.

There may be instances where you wish to move existing photopoints from one project to another. We call this a photopoint migration. Photopoints can only be migrated using the Covram Dashboard. To migrate a photopoint or photopoints follow the steps below:

  1. Sign in to the Covram Dashboard in your web browser using your laptop or desktop computer and your registered email and password.
  2. In the sidebar, open the project containing the photopoints you would like to migrate and click Photopoints.
  3. Tick the box beside each photopoint you would like to migrate. You can use Select by label to select many at once.
  4. Click the Migrate button at the bottom of the page. A popup dialog will open. Choose the new project from the dropdown menu and click Next.
Only projects which the Project Administrator already has access to will appear in the dropdown options.
  1. A confirmation dialog will list the photopoints that will be moved. Click Confirm to proceed, or Cancel to exit.

Photopoints that can't be migrated

Some photopoints stay where they are:

  • A photopoint that belongs to a site.
  • A photopoint with photos that are used in a visit.

Moving these would remove photos that a visit or site links to. The confirmation dialog names each of these photopoints and says why it won't be moved. The other photopoints you selected are still moved, and a message afterwards tells you how many were moved and how many were not.
