Editing Sampling Strategy

Modify your auto-sampling strategy to fine-tune data collection points and ensure optimal coverage.

Why Edit Your Strategy?​

While auto-sampling provides a good starting point, you may need to adjust it based on:

  • Field accessibility
  • Site-specific constraints
  • Updated habitat information
  • Resource availability

Editing Options​

Adding Points​

  1. Open your sampling strategy in map view
  2. Click "Add Point"
  3. Click on the map where you want to add a collection point
  4. The point will be added to your strategy

Removing Points​

  1. Select a point on the map
  2. Click "Remove Point" or press Delete
  3. Confirm removal

Moving Points​

  1. Select a point on the map
  2. Drag it to the new location
  3. The point coordinates will update automatically

Bulk Editing​

  • Select Multiple Points: Use the selection tool to select multiple points
  • Bulk Delete: Remove multiple points at once
  • Adjust Density: Increase or decrease sampling density in specific areas

Advanced Editing​

Excluding Areas​

  • Draw exclusion zones on the map
  • Points within excluded areas will be removed
  • Useful for inaccessible or irrelevant areas

Adjusting by Habitat Type​

  • Filter points by habitat type
  • Adjust density for specific habitats
  • Ensure adequate representation

Importing Custom Points​

  • Upload a CSV or GeoJSON file with custom points
  • Points will be added to your strategy
  • Useful for incorporating existing survey locations

Validation​

After editing, review:

  • Coverage: Ensure adequate spatial coverage
  • Distribution: Check distribution across habitat types
  • Accessibility: Verify points are accessible for field work
  • Statistics: Review updated sampling statistics

Saving Changes​

Click "Save Strategy" to save your edits. The updated strategy will be used for creating collection events.

Next Steps​

Once your sampling strategy is finalized, proceed to create collection events.
