version 2.70-ES

V2.70 We have improved password privacy by allowing users to register and login via Google/Facebook/etc. As long as you use the same email address as used in Google/Facebook/etc, you can use OTISS fully and we never see (or store) your password.
On screen and in reports we now use the common species names e.g. 'Silver Birch'. But when searching for a species on the mobile apps, we have kept the familiar 'genus ordered' lists which groups species together for easier selection.

posted on 2016-06-30
New on V1.11,The survey forms are now much more configurable. Use the Customise Survey buttons on the OTISS website to adapt the survey: picklists of common values make for quicker data input; hide fields you don't need to provide an uncluttered survey form; make some items mandatory so you don't forget them. The next 'Sync' operation on the Android app will bring the new survey form down to your mobile data collection device.,Now the Google Aerial map is also available on the OTISS website.
