TRACKING ANIMAL

Device Status Management

To have a full array of Anitra functionality available (data filtering, mortality warnings, advanced sharing, etc.) maintain the Device statuses in line with reality.

Backup / Pool: 

To be used for spare/pool devices which are not currently deployed and are ready to be (re)used in the future.

New purchased devices receive "Backup/Pool" status automatically

Deployed: 

Use for devices that are currently deployed on animals and still collecting/sending data (at least potentially)

Tags are automaticaly moved from Backup/Pool to Deployed status when user enters information on the tag deployment (Tracking) and about Tracked Animal. Check the detailed guide here.

Deployed status is additionaly automatically extended by the system based on the information on the last data delivered

Deployed Active: known to have delivered fresh data within last 7 days

Deployed Missing: last data older than 7 days

Archive / Discarded:

Meant for achieving data of "out of use" devices not expected to deliver any new data (inactivated, suspended, finished)

Turning the device into this state suppresses the warning and notification scheme

Note that devices created using import functionality are by default switched to "Archieve" state

Tracking Management

Define Tracking/Deployment and Animal/Individual meta info to organize your data and to benefit from all the Anitra tracking/animal-related features (such as seeing animals in maps, activity clusters, mortality detection, etc).

You can create and edit Trackings/Deployments on the Data tab of the Device profile

Use right-click context menu items for these actions:

Create new tracking: launches empty tracking (start) creation wizard, a general option available anywhere in the Data tab

Create new tracking here: launches wizard prefilled with selected position DateTime and GPS, available over any point within the tracking range (in the table or in the timeline)

Open tracking: opens the tracking/animal profile in a new browser tab, available over any existing tracking (in the table or over the band the timeline)

Edit tracking start: opens tracking start edit form, available over any existing tracking (in the table or over the band the timeline)

Add tracking end: launches empty tracking end wizard, available over any existing tracking (in the table or in the timeline)

Add tracking end here: launches wizard prefilled with selected position DateTime and GPS, GPS proposed from the last point before the end time, available over any point belonging to the tracking (in the table or in the timeline)

Edit tracking end: opens tracking end edit form, available over any existing tracking with end defined (in the table or over the band the timeline)

Mortality warnings

• Notifies on possible mortality in the last position of finished (archive) trackings
• You can set the end date of tracking so that the mortality sign is displayed in your archive data (see the end date for the first two tracked objects in example no 1)

• Warns on possible mortality detected in the last position of active trackings
• In order to have relevant red warnings shown correct device/TO configuration needs to be kept by project admin

Note. the detection of mortality is currently based on

• Anitra: dedicated sensor/accelerometer mortality detection logic
• Ornitela: identical body position between subsequent measurements
• Ecotone Activity column with a simple rule (Activity < 10) triggering the alert. More complex logic is being developed for Anitra native devices

• You can find these last data mortality warnings on various screens of the Anitra platform:
  • Device list (only Red warning for Active trackings)

• Device Profile

• Tracking List (both Red warnings for Active trackings and Black Info for Archive trackings)

• Tracking profile

• Map (both Red warnings for Active trackings and Black Info for Archive trackings)

• Device Owner/Admins can freely switch devices from one state to another and modify Tracking end dates in order to achieve desired Anitra behavior
