Anitra platform is a comfortable environment to store, visualize and analyze telemetry data and manage even very complex telemetry projects.

The tool is flexible enough to host datasets generated by transmitters of any brand (manual and automatic data feed) however some of the most advanced features are tailored to complement the unique onboard functionality of ANITRA branded GPS-GSMS transmitters only. The very core functionality serves as a device backend for Data Owners/Admins. Data owners can make their data available to other users or even make their data public in a simplified and secured way using an elaborated sharing scheme. Each user can possibly act in both modes (i.e. admin for owned or administered devices and viewer for data shared with him by others). Most of the platform functionality is free of charge and available to anyone. Only large data volumes might be possibly restricted or charged.

AREAS OF FUNCTIONALITY

SIGNING IN

Sign up

  • Use the "Create new account" link on the login page: https://app.anitra.cz/ to auto-register yourself as a new platform user
    Create new user.jpg
    • Use a valid email address as your future username /do not use shared or group emails/
    • Enter your name /enter person name, do not use group names, numbers, and similar instead of personal names - important when working in projects with other people/
    • Upon completion, an email with an account confirmation link will be sent to your inbox
  • Alternatively create a new account by using the "SIGN IN WITH GOOGLE" button.
    • This flow will link a newly created account with a chosen Google account /you will not need to type user name+pass anymore/
      Create new google user.jpg
  • A new user can also be created by other existing users sending an invitation to the new person from access granting wizards
    • all the flows in the system which allow granting access to someone (e.g. sharing tracking, adding admins, or assigning project access) also offer an option of inviting/adding a brand new user typing a new email address
      User invite dialogue.jpg
    • in this case invitation/account confirmation email is sent to the new user
      User invite email.jpg

(OUT) Anitra to Movebank data feed

  • Anitra to Movevebank data feed can be set up in the "integration out" section of the customer profile using the "+create new" button
    Movebank customer profile integrationOUT.JPG
  • a Movebank data owner username needs to be specified. This Movebank account will be used to host all the synchronized data in Movebank.

DEVICE-TRACKED OBJECTS-MORTALITY

  • Anitra platforms data model is based on the following key concepts:

Device

  • Represents physical hardware device to which all the tracking and sensor data are linked
  • Allows storing info related to hardware (Brand, logger model, serial number, GSM no. etc.)
  • The device in the system can be created:
    • By purchasing Anitra logger (the device will be created and assigned to Anitra Customer)
    • By importing tracking file (csv, kml/kmz, gpx)
    • Automatically by Integration (i.e. automated data feed e.g. from Ecotone or Ornitela panels)

Tracked Object (or Tracking)

  • Represents particular animal carrying logger device, a single device can be reused several times (in case of mortality of tracked object)
    • Allows filtering (e.g. display, share) relevant subset of device data
    • Allows attaching meta-information related to:
      • The tracked Individual (species, sex, age, ringing, origin, etc)
      • The tracking of that animal (start of tracking, end of tracking, mortality attributes, photos/documents)
    • Tracked animal in the system can be created
      • Using "split tracking" functionality in the device profile
      • Using "create new tracking" functionality in the device profile

Device Data

  • A basic level of tracking/measurement information
  • Data are accessible through devices and their tracked object(s)

Device Status Management and Tracked Object configuration

  • For maximum benefit of a full array of Anitra functionality (data filtering, mortality warnings, advanced sharing, etc.) we highly recommend to maintain "Device Statuses" for your devices and Tracked Objects for your study animals up to date.
  • Available basic "Device Statuses":
    • Backup / Pool:
      • To be used for spare/pool devices which are not currently in the field and are planned to be (re)used in the future.
      • New devices which appear in the system are labeled "Backup" status automatically
    • Deployed:
      • To be used for devices that are currently deployed "in the field" and potentially sending data
      • There are 4 sub-statuses available that allow the user to configure Anitra behavior further
1. Deployed Active:
  • Known to be currently delivering data reliably and new data expected to be updated on a regular basis
  • Mortality notification should work reliably
2. Deployed Down:
  • Known to be still delivering data (at least for some time), but based on data received the device very likely not already attached to the target animal (shed/down logger, the killed animal)
  • Hardware to be either recollected or written-off
  • "New data" notifications could help investigate the case until the logger transmits data
  • After collecting all possible information and closing the case the device should be turned to "Archive" status
3. Deployed Missing:
  • Data delivery suddenly interrupted, last positions do not show animal/logger issue
  • "New data" notifications possibly used to notify on the restoration of data transfer
4. Deployed Problem:
  • Depending on the issue type the data delivery fails or some sensor data might be unreliable
  • Allows suppressing mortality notification as false or confusing warnings may be raised
  • Archive / Discarded:
  • meant for "out of use" devices (inactivated, suspended, finished) not expected to deliver any new data
  • Turning device into this state allows suppressing warning scheme
  • Allows to store and filter out archive data
  • Note that devices created through import functionality are by default switched to this state

Tracking EndDate

  • Device Statuses are meant to help to control active Loggers >> Tracked Objects (Trackings). In order to receive a meaningful warning, it is highly recommended not only to turn inactive devices to Archive but also to end related active Tracked Objects (Trackings) whenever the tracking in the field is over (i.e. you do not expect to receive any new data).
    • Ending Tracked Object / Tracking is done by filling in date into field "End of tracking" in the Tracking profile
    • "End Of Tracking" field leaves space for individual interpretation. For instance in case of mortality you can include the period when the tracked individual was alive only or you might as well close the tracking date later when the device was physically found and removed.
    • Note that you can additionally enter more detail related to mortality event ("Estimated date of death", "Mortality Reason", "Mortality Note", "Mortality Photos/Documents/Reports")

Mortality warnings
DTO000.JPG

  • Notifies on possible mortality in the last position of finished (archive) trackings
  • You can set the end date of tracking so that the mortality sign is displayed in your archive data (see the end date for the first two tracked objects in example no 1)

DTO0000.JPG

  • Warns on possible mortality detected in the last position of active trackings
  • In order to have relevant red warnings shown correct device/TO configuration needs to be kept by project admin
Note. the detection of mortality is currently based on
  • Anitra: dedicated sensor/accelerometer mortality detection logic
  • Ornitela: identical body position between subsequent measurements
  • Ecotone Activity column with a simple rule (Activity < 10) triggering the alert. More complex logic is being developed for Anitra native devices
  • You can find these last data mortality warnings on various screens of the Anitra platform:
    • Device list (only Red warning for Active trackings)
DTO001.JPG
  • Device Profile
DTO002.JPG
  • Tracking List (both Red warnings for Active trackings and Black Info for Archive trackings)
DTO003.JPG
  • Tracking profile
DTO004.JPG
  • Map (both Red warnings for Active trackings and Black Info for Archive trackings)

DTO005.JPG

  • Device Owner/Admins can freely switch devices from one state to another and modify Tracking end dates in order to achieve desired Anitra behavior
