If your survey form contains a species field, you can configure which species you’d like survey users to be able to select from. For example, you might want to constrain the list to species found in your local area. 

To configure the species fields:


  1. Click on the “Admin” button at the top.
  2. Click on “Survey settings” on the left.
  3. Click the “Species” tab.



All the species fields in your survey form are displayed. If you have multiple species fields, you’ll need to configure each of them separately.


To select a single species for the field:


  1. Click on “Configure/View”
  2. Select “Single species” from the first drop-down menu
  3. Start typing in the scientific name of the species and then select it
  4. Click “Apply”



To select a species list for the field:


  1. Click on “Configure/View”
  2. Select “A selection or group of species” from the first drop-down menu
  3. Click on “Choose from existing species lists” and then start typing in the name of your species list. You can select multiple species lists
  4. Click “Apply”
