Managing entries

Everything on this page happens behind a login, in the admin area.

Two roles

Role	Can do
Member	Create, edit and mark entries as found.
Admin	The same, plus manage the other users and download a full backup.

Most people in an organisation only need to be members. Keep the number of admins small, since an admin can export the whole database.

Creating an entry

An entry needs, at minimum, a name, a kind and a contact phone. The phone is what the board exists to deliver, so it is worth checking that somebody actually answers it.

You can attach up to three photos, of at most 5 MB each. Three is usually enough to show the animal from more than one angle, which is what somebody matching a sighting needs.

The entry records who created it and the date, automatically.

Marking an animal as found

Mark the entry as found rather than deleting it. The entry moves to the bottom of the board, keeps its photos, and records the date. See Reading the board for why the entry stays.

Backups

An admin can download a full backup from the Users page, with the "Descargar backup" button. It streams a dump of the entire database, images included, because the photos live in the database rather than on disk.

That is the whole backup. There is no second place where state hides, which is the reason the images are stored the way they are.
