22  Frequently Asked Questions

22.0.1 Where can I find the submission templates to enter my data/metadata?

The data template tables and example tables are provided in a downloadable zipped folder on the Passive Acoustic Reporting System Templates webpage.

22.0.2 What happens if I find a mistake in my metadata after I have submitted my templates? For example, you submit your recordings data in local time but realize later you need to change it to UTC.

Not to worry! You have two options: 1) you can resubmit a whole table (or tables) with the corrected data, or 2) you can go to Makara directly and correct a field or fields. For example, if you change the site_code in the Sites table, all of the deployments that reference that site_code will automatically be updated to the new site_code.
