ID please, check box

General

I’ve read that there is an “ID please check box,” but I can’t seem to find it. I’m new and have several observations that need one more ID. Can someone point me in the right direction?

You don’t need to check anything if your observation doesn’t have ids yet, it’s used for observations where you need more ids than what is enough to get Research Grade, so don’t check it without need, it’s under DQA section, on the bottom of observation page.

I believe these folks know more about your question than me. I just wanted to say welcome to the Forum!

There used to be an “ID Please” checkbox a long time ago. But they removed the box I think in around 2016 because now all new observations are automatically put into a big pool waiting for identification. Curious if you might be looking at a very old handout or tutorial??
