Topic: Sample marked as sensitive rather than records

Hi,
Another question from me about sensitive records. Is it possible to set a form to mark the sample as sensitive rather than having to mark each individual record as sensitive?

I want to add it to my moth recording form (http://www.habitas.org.uk/records/moths) as people are often trapping in their gardens and therefore do not want to show the full site details publicly.

Many thanks,
Fiona

Re: Sample marked as sensitive rather than records

Hi Fiona
We'd prefer that the "sensitive" aspect of a record is reserved for use when there is a risk to either the record or the site. However, there is a sample.privacy_precision field that does exactly the same thing, except that you are marking the sample as being from a site where there is a privacy concern. We used it for the Garden Bioblitz this year.
Best wishes
John
