• String: Any type of chars is acceptable.

• Number: Numbers are acceptable with decimal points, without thousand separators. Acceptable format: number.number

• Boolean: Acceptable values: true, false, True, False

• Latitude (Geolocation): The samples with geolocation latitude and longitude values will be displayed on the project map.

• Longitude (Geolocation): The samples with geolocation latitude and longitude values will be displayed on the project map.

• Date: Dates are acceptable with the following formats: DD.MM.YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY or DD-MM-YYYY

• DateTime: Datetimes are acceptable with the following formats: “DD.MM.YYYY HH:MM:SS” or “DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS” or “DD-MM-YYYY HH:MM:SS”

• Single select (Dropdown list with a value list)

GeoSeeq uses low-level data checks, meaning you can use values that do not fit the data tyoe. In this case, the user gets only a warning, not a restraint.

For example, It’s possible to add the “apple” value to a metadata field with a number datatype, but the system notifies the editor user with a notification and the mismatching values will be colored by red.

Samples with geolocation on the project map

The samples with geolocation latitude and longitude values will be displayed on the project map.

The project samples can be visualized on a custom map with the map editor. For more information, check our map editor description: Map editor
