Click to view answer
Note
Images can only be submitted after samples have been uploaded in the Upload Sample Spreadsheet dialogue. The max total image size should be no more than 2GB.
Images can only be submitted via a ToL [1] profile. Please see: Steps to Create a Tree of Life Profile for guidance.
The file name of sample images must be named as
{Specimen_ID}-{n}.[jpg|png]where{n}is the image number,{Specimen_ID}is the specimen ID of the sample in the manifest andjpgorpngis the extension of the file.
Important
The 
button will only be enabled after you upload a
manifest in the Upload Sample Spreadsheet dialogue. This process must
be completed in one go; you cannot close the dialogue and return later to
upload images. The images rely on metadata from the sample manifest, so
the button becomes active immediately after the
manifest is uploaded, allowing you to add images in the same session.
Errors occur due to several reasons. An error message will be displayed detailing the issue(s) encountered and potential resolution(s). If you are uncertain how to proceed, please contact the .
Other potential reasons and solutions for errors include but are not limited to:
Uploading images where the total size of the images exceeds 2GB
(the maximum allowable file size) may result in errors.
Common web browser error messages include
Error 0: errorthough the specific message may vary by browser, as the error is browser-generated.Workaround: Upload smaller batches of images separately. You will need to first upload the manifest, any applicable permits then, upload the images in batches, as images cannot be uploaded directly and all at once.
