Observations/Identifiers count discrepancies

Hi @odole your post and analysis seemed relevant to this recent bug report, so I hope it’s ok that I moved it here.

Thank you for your detailed analysis of the count differences. Not sure I have any definitive answers, and the developers might have to answer for sure. But a couple of factors that might be at play here are:

  • are only active IDs being counted, or active + inactive?
  • are they being counted on observations of all quality grades, or are Casual observations being excluded?

Maybe someone else will be able to chime in with better answers.
