BioBase Feature Alert: Bulk Export Tools

As BioBase has grown through the years, Natural Resource Agencies, Researchers, and Lake Managers have mapped millions of acres of water and aquatic habitats benefitting conservation. But Million’s of acres means millions of files and terabytes of data. BioBase is a great solution for storing, browsing, and analyzing these data, but until now users did not have a way to bulk export processed files. The initial release of the feature will allow users to bulk export .csv data files, Google Earth .kmz for all layers, and Vegetation Analysis Reports from January 1st 2018 through December 1st 2023 for all trips and merges within a waterbody for a user or organization. Future improvements to the feature will expand this window. It’s important to note that already existing export features on a trip by trip basis within the trip viewer (e.g., Tools – Export Data) has not changed.  The export links and data will remain active and available for 30 days. After 30 days, exports will be deleted from BioBase servers and users will need to make another request if they wish to download the files again at a later date.

Feature extracts a .zip file with the Lake Name, a Waterbody ID, and the date YYYYMMDD of the request. Contents in the zip file include other zip files and include sonar file names, Trip ID’s, and other information that should be intuitive for users
