Delete all images displaying humans from a project
There are several options available to remove or hide images of humans in your project.
All images of humans will be visible in the Identify tab so that a user can confirm the identification.
By default, once an identification is confirmed with any human identification*, the image will not be visible on the Catalogued tab by any user with a project editor or viewer role. In lieu of the image, project editors and viewers will see a placeholder image (shown below).
You can also choose to delete images of humans from your project so that none of the users in your project can see images of humans. To select this option:
- Navigate to the Project Details page
- Scroll down to the Settings box
- Click the tick box next to the option to Automatically delete photos identified with humans
- Click on Save Changes
*Human identifications include the following options:
- Homo sapien
- Human-camera trapper
- Human-hunter
- Human-researcher
- Human-pedestrian
- Human-maintenance crew
- Human-park ranger
- Human-resident
- Human-tourist
Set the public location of your project
All projects in Wildlife Insights are displayed on the publicly accessible Explore page. The location displayed on this map is determined by calculating the average of all locations in the project. In some instances, projects may be located near a country border and the average location may occur in a different country. You may choose to override the default public location by entering the latitude and longitude in Project Details.
- Navigate to the Project Details page
- Scroll down to the Settings box
- Enter latitude and longitude values
- Click on Save Changes
