Photopoint tags

Tags describe what a photo shows, such as Erosion or Problem weed. They make it easy to find and compare photopoints, and to filter the map.

Every project starts with these tags:

• Native tree/shrub/grass/forb
• Large tree
• Cultural value
• Pre or post burning
• Flooding
• Erosion
• Rubbish
• Track damage
• Drain
• Problem weed
• Pest animal sign/damage
• Other

Create a custom tag

If none of the tags fit, you can create your own. A new tag is added to your project's list, so everyone working in the project can choose it afterwards. Tag names must be different from the tags already in the project.

In the Covram Field App, while creating or editing a photopoint:

1. In the list of tags, tap + Create new tag.
2. Type a name in the Enter custom tag dialog and tap Save.

The new tag is added to the photopoint you are working on. Tap Close if you change your mind.

In the Covram Dashboard, there are two ways:

• Project Administrators can click Add New Tag on the Photopoint Tags page. See manage your project's tags.
• Anyone in the project can type a new name under Add tags when they tag many photopoints at once. The tag is created and added to the selected photopoints when you click Save.

Manage your project's tags

1. Sign in to the Covram Dashboard in your web browser using your laptop or desktop computer and your registered email and password.
2. Open the Projects page.
3. Locate your project and click on
4. In the dropdown menu, click Edit Tags. This opens the Photopoint Tags page, which lists each tag with its visibility.
5. From here you can:
   • Click Add New Tag, enter a name and click Save.
   • Click Hide beside a tag to remove it from the lists of tags to choose from. Click Show to bring it back.
   • Click Delete beside a tag to remove it from the list.
   • Drag a tag by its handle in the Reorder column to change the order.

Changes save straight away. Deleting a tag removes it from the list of tags to choose from. It doesn't change photopoints that already have that tag. Hidden tags don't appear in the Covram Field App or the Covram Dashboard when you choose tags.

Tag many photopoints at once

1. In the sidebar, open your project and click Photopoints.
2. Select the photopoints you want to change by ticking the box beside each one.
3. Click Edit at the bottom of the page, then Tags.
4. In the Edit Tags dialog, choose the tags to add. To create a new tag, type its name. Choose the tags to remove. The dialog lists the tags currently on your selection and how many photopoints have each.
5. Click Save. Other tags on the photopoints are left as they are.

Select photopoints by label

If you have a list of photopoint labels, click Select by label and paste them in, one per line or separated by commas. Covram ignores upper and lower case. It lists any labels it couldn't find, and any labels shared by more than one photopoint (all of those are selected).

Filter the map by tags

Filtering the map shows which photopoints have a tag, so you can see patterns across a project.

1. Open the project map in the Covram Dashboard.
2. Click Apply Filter below the map. If a filter is already applied the button says Edit Filter. To remove it click Clear Filter.
3. In the Data Filter dialog, choose Photopoint Tags.
4. Choose how to show the photopoints, then choose one or more tags.
5. Click Apply. A key on the map explains the colours.

You must choose at least one tag. The data filter also has options for sites, such as VAST rating, threatened species and ecological communities.
