Once a Region is selected in the USACE wetland form, it cannot be changed. This applies to both geographic regions and strata options (i.e. 4 vs. 5 for the same region).
Due to differences between regional forms, Surveys cannot be moved from one Regional Form to another. Therefore, the best path forward is recreating the survey as a new survey with the correct Regional Form chosen. The fastest way to do this is by following the steps below:
Download data from Survey with incorrect Regional Form
- Go to the existing Survey with the incorrect Regional Form selected
- Download the PDF file for the survey
- Download the CSV file for the survey
- Open the CSV file in Excel or Google Sheets
- Copy the data in columns B-D and paste them into a new sheet
- Download the new sheet as a CSV file (with only columns: sampling_point, lat, long)
Create a New Survey
- Go back into Ecobot and create a new Survey with the correct Regional Form selected
- On the Survey Information Page
- Complete the top fields such as name, ID, etc. (as needed)
- In the CSV Upload section select Browse
- Locate and select the CSV file with your downloaded point data (containing only the columns: sampling_point, lat, long)
- Click Add Survey to continue
- The next page will provide a preview of point names and corresponding lat/long for review. Click Confirm points, Create Survey to create the survey with these points.
- Your survey will be created, populated with these points and all location data for them.
- Edit each point and populate the data, referencing the downloaded PDF file from your original survey
