• "Upload" automatically analyses imported data and offers the creation of new "Devices"
• Data for already existing devices are appended to these devices (e.g. allows a user to update data in the system by monthly update files..)
• The user who uploaded data becomes Device Owner

CUSTOMERS AND INTEGRATION

• There is one more menu item visible for those users who act in the system as "Customer Owners" or "Customer Admins"

• Customer detail can hold the definition of one or more integration connections (currently Ecotone and Ornitela data feeds supported)

• Integration connection toolbox allows
  • Create-edit-remove management of the connection
  • Sending a request for automatic integration run

DEVICE-TRACKED OBJECTS-MORTALITY

Anitra platforms data model is based on the following key concepts:

Device

• Represents physical hardware device to which all the tracking and sensor data are linked
• Allows storing info related to hardware (Brand, logger model, serial number, GSM no. Etc.)
• The device in the system can be created
  • By purchasing Anitra logger (the device will be created and assigned to Anitra Customer)
  • By importing tracking file (csv, kml/kmz, gpx)
  • Automatically by Integration (i.e. automated data feed e.g. from Ecotone or Ornitela panels)

Tracked Object (or Tracking)

• Represents particular animal carrying logger device, a single device can be reused several times (in case of mortality of tracked object)
  • Allows filtering (e.g. display, share) relevant subset of device data
  • Allows attaching metainformation related to:
    • The tracked Individual (species, sex, age, ringing, origin etc)
    • The tracking of that animal (start of tracking, end of tracking, mortality attributes, photos/documents)
  • Tracked Object in the system can be created
    • Automatically: by default, any new device has got a default tracked object configured starting with the first device data
    • Using "split TO" functionality in the device profile
    • Using "create new TO" functionality in the device profile

 

Device Data

• A basic level of tracking/measurement information
• Data are accessible through devices and their tracked object(s)

Device Status Management and Tracked Object configuration

• For maximum benefit of a full array of Anitra functionality (data filtering, mortality warnings, advanced sharing etc.) we highly recommend to maintain "Device Statuses" for your devices and Tracked Objects for your study animals up to date.

• Available basic "Device Statuses":

• Backup / Pool:

• • • To be used for spare/pool devices which are not currently in the field and are planned to be (re)used in future.
    • New devices which appear in the system are labeled "Backup" status automatically

• Deployed:

• • • To be used for devices which are currently deployed "in the field" and potentially sending data
    • There are 4 sub-statuses available which allow the user to configure Anitra behavior further

1. Deployed Active:

• Known to be currently delivering data reliably and new data expected to be updated on a regular basis
• Mortality notification should work reliably

2. Deployed Down:

• Known to be still delivering data (at least for some time), but based on data received the device very likely not already attached to target animal (shed/down logger, killed animal)
• Hardware to be either recollected or written-off
• "New data" notifications could help investigating the case till the logger transmits data
• After collecting all possible information and closing the case the device should be turned to "Archive" status

3. Deployed Missing:

• Data delivery suddenly interrupted, last positions do not show animal/logger issue
• "New data" notifications possibly used to notify on the restoration of data transfer

4. Deployed Problem:

• Depending on the issue type the data delivery fails or some sensor data might be unreliable
• Allows suppressing mortality notification as false or confusing warnings may be raised

• Archive / Discarded:

• meant for out of use devices (inactivated, suspended, finished) not expected to deliver any new data
• Turning device into this state allows suppressing warning scheme
• Allows to store and filter out archive data
• Note that devices created through import functionality are by default switched to this state

Tracked Object EndDate

• Device Statuses are meant to help to control active Loggers >> Tracked Objects (Trackings). In order to receive a meaningful warnings, it is highly recommended not only to turn inactive devices to Archive but also to end related active Tracked Objects (Trackings) whenever the tracking in the field is over (i.e. you do not expect to receive any new data).

• • Ending Tracked Object / Tracking is done by filling in date into field "End of tracking" in the Tracked Object profile
  • "End Of Tracking" field leaves space for individual interpretation. For instance in case of mortality you can include the period when the tracked individual was alive only or you might as well close the tracking date later when the device was physically found and removed.
  • Note that you can additionally enter more detail related to mortality event ("Estimated date of death", "Mortality Reason", "Mortality Note", "Mortality Photos/Documents/Reports")
