Facets

Geographic area

Requires that a GeographicArea be selected.

There are 3 settings:

  • Exact - Return all records that have this, and only this, geographic area selected. Searches on CollectingEvent#geographic_area_id.
  • Descendants - Return all records that have the geographic area(s) or their descendants selected. Searches on CollectingEvent#geographic_area_id and GeograpihcArea#parent_id.
  • Spatial - If the geographic area has a shape tied to it this is permitted. Combine the results of the Descentants search and a spatial search referencing Georeferences and return all records that match either. In additions to fields in Descendants also does a spatial search on GeographicItem#<shape or point> as linked through Georeference#geographic_item_id and further to Collecting event via Georeference#collecting_event_id.
