• Setup

  • If new dive needed: Create Dive in Expedition Listing, and check SeaTube Ready and Active
  • Go to Expedition Management and find the expedition and the dive; click on the Play arrow  to open up the main STv3 logging UI
  • Arrange the widgets in the STv3 UI to your liking.
    • Recommended settings:
      • Annotation Entry widget
        • Check Quick Entry and Attributes in the 'More' dropdown options.
        • Choose a Button Set to display (can be changed at any time).
          • It's highly recommended to use button sets as your primary logging tool; the taxon search dropdown is requires a good knowledge of the taxonomies to use effectively.
        • Check Auto Save if you want annotations to be saved immediately upon clicking a Button from the Button Set, rather than when you click Save.
      • Annotation List widget
        
        • Check Auto Refresh, Full Timestamp, and Taxon Attributes in the 'More' dropdown options.
      • If you are annotating LIVE VIDEO that you're watching on an external source, remove the Video widget so annotation timestamps default to the current time. If you are annotating HISTORICAL (pre-recorded) video, use the Video widget and the annotation timestamps will be synced to the video stream

• Create a new annotation

  In the Annotation Entry widget:
  • Click CAPTURE TIME (if not using Auto Save with Buttons)
  • Different ways to create an annotation:
    
    • Select a taxonomy and taxon
      
      • If using the taxonomy and taxon dropdowns rather than button sets (generally not recommended), choose the appropriate taxonomy, then begin typing the name of the operation, species, or geoform/substrate/water column level into the taxon search field, e.g. 'CONNECTION', 'VISUAL', 'jellyfish', 'carcharias'
    • OR click a Button from a Button Set
    • OR type something in the Comment field
  • Different annotation types:
    • OPERATIONS, e.g. 'Connection', 'Visual Survey Start', 'Organism Sample': use your organization's User-Created Taxonomy. The taxonomy name should have your organization as its prefix, e.g. ONC, NOAA, or DFO
    • BIOLOGY: use the WoRMS taxonomy
    • ENVIRONMENT: use CMECS taxonomy
  • Fill in Attribute values if known
  • Save.

• Edit an annotation

  • Find the annotation in Annotation List
  • Click the Edit Annotation icon:
  • The annotation information will appear in the Annotation Entry widget
  • Edit the annotation
  • Save

• Search for an annotation

  • 2 ways to search annotations:
    • Search filters in Annotation List widget (simpler, can only search one dive)
      
      • Open with button
    • Seatube Search (more advanced, can search all dives within an expedition)
      • Access in Oceans 23.0 via More > SeaTubeV3 > SeaTube Search, OR button in Annotation List filter search
  • Type text into the 'Comment' field to search both Comment and Taxon name, e.g. 'Connection'
  • Add Filter Option: you can also search by Taxonomy, Attribute, or (coming soon) Attribute value
  • Click Apply Filter (Annotation List) or Search (SeaTube Search) button
