App does not record codes in the background for behaviours or associations

[Emmawilsonjncc]

Can app record behaviour and association codes in the background, the same way it does for species (speccode)?

Note - I don't think we have previously discussed this but having now seen what data coming out of the app looks like, I think having the app record codes for behaviour and association could be really useful.

@Emmawilsonjncc @timedunn Please could you provide a spreadsheet with the code for each behaviour/association

Hi Claire, Here are the codes for the behaviours and associations. Note, this is the full list and we only need the ones that Emma sent to you earlier to be included in the app. @emma ***@***.***> @brad ***@***.***> I had to add some additional (ESAS) codes that were not on the SAS database lookup file and also had to use the ESAS codes for the associations (interacting with field on the app.), as the SAS.db doesn't appear to include these. I have saved the attached file in T:\Programme 072 Marine Monitoring\207 Seabird and Cetacean Monitoring Advice\Databases\SAST\Data management\WPDOX\CSV. Thanks, Tim
