ERROR WARNING:
Name of Species List for Manual Id must be specified when Manual Id is specified.
HOW TO RESOLVE:
Species list errors will appear as missing-field or invalid-categorical errors. When uploading acoustic data, you must specify which custom species list was used for Auto ID and Manual ID -- the corresponding fields are 'Name of Species List for Auto Id' and 'Name of Species List for Manual Id'. These fields behave like controlled categorical fields but are managed in the Partner Portal rather than in your CSV. Create or edit your project's species lists in the Partner Portal, then enter the exact list names in your upload file.
ADDED EXPLANATION:
Knowing which species were considered during Auto ID and Manual ID analyses is essential for estimating detection probabilities and modeling populations. Errors involving the 'Name of Species List for Auto ID' and 'Name of Species List for Manual ID' fields arise when the names provided in the CSV do not match any list defined in the Partner Portal. To resolve these errors, navigate to your project's Species Lists tab, enter edit mode, and add a new list. Give the list a clear name, provide a brief description, and use the Definition column to include or exclude species. After saving, enter the exact list name in the 'Name of Species List for Auto Id' and/or 'Name of Species List for Manual Id' fields in your CSV. Projects may use different lists for Auto ID and Manual ID—for example, a comprehensive regional list for automated classification and a smaller subset for manual verification. Ensure every list referenced in your data has been created in the Partner Portal and is named exactly as it appears in your upload file.
