Connect Resource

Optional. Attaching a file here lets us read its coordinate system, bounding box, and format directly — you'll still be able to review and edit those values on the following pages. You can also skip this step and upload later on the Distribution Info page or after creation of the metadata record. Web services have no local file to upload.

Web Services
Data Source
Choose how this record's data is supplied. File upload attaches a static dataset; KoboToolbox connects to a hosted Kobo project so that incoming form submissions are surfaced through SEC-IMS automatically (one-way: Kobo → SEC-IMS). The detailed Kobo connection and schema mapping are configured on the Distribution Info page (page 8).
The file upload below is hidden for Kobo-sourced records. Continue through the wizard to fill in the record metadata, then complete the Kobo connection on the Distribution Info page.
Data Upload
Currently attached:
Max size: 50MB per dataset. Allowed formats: .geojson, .zip, .gpkg, .tif, .docx, .pdf, .csv, .xlsx. For GeoPackages, the 50MB limit applies to the selected layer; the source file may be up to 500MB. Shapefiles must be zipped with their .shx/.dbf/.prj sidecars. Browse to replace the attached file.

Dataset Identification
Dataset Dates
Maximum of three dates (one each for Creation, Publication, and Revision).
Dataset Point of Contact
Geographical Extent (optional — not necessary for non-spatial datasets)
Hold Shift and drag on the map to draw the bounding box, or enter coordinates manually.
Bounding box was auto-detected from the uploaded file. Reset to detected extent
Temporal Extent (optional)
Leave blank if the dataset is still valid
Other Dataset Information
The language used in the dataset itself
Leave as utf8 unless you know otherwise
For orthophotos and satellite images select Grid
Enter the denominator of the representative fraction (whole number)
Coordinate Reference System

Select the coordinate reference system (CRS) used by this dataset. These are the CRS options defined for Saint Lucia.
Note: CRS is not required for non-spatial datasets. You may skip this page.

KoboToolbox sources emit decimal-degree coordinates (EPSG:4326) by XLSForm convention. The CRS is set to WGS84 automatically and is not editable for Kobo-backed records.

Dataset Constraints

State the conditions that apply to the access and use of this dataset. Use "No conditions" if none apply. Use "Unknown" if the status is not known.

Distribution Info

All fields on this page are optional. Fill in what is available.

Distribution Format
Transfer Options

All fields below are optional. A download URL is produced automatically from a file upload on Page 1 and from any OGC:WFS endpoint in Web Services — only fill in below to record additional distribution links (a copy hosted elsewhere, a separate information page, a custom resource name).

A download URL is already generated automatically . Fill this in only to point at an additional copy hosted elsewhere.
Web address where the data can be downloaded.
Leave blank to use the dataset title (). Override to name the resource differently in the distribution link.
Web address with additional details regarding the dataset.
Data Source
File upload attaches a static dataset to this record. KoboToolbox connects to a hosted Kobo project so that incoming form submissions are surfaced through SEC-IMS automatically (one-way: Kobo → SEC-IMS).
KoboToolbox Connection
Obtain from your Kobo account settings or /token/?format=json. The token is sent to SEC-IMS over TLS, stored server-side under UPLOAD_DIR/.secrets/ at file mode 0600, and never returned to the browser. The editor clears the token field from memory once registration succeeds.

Only deployed projects accept submissions. Non-deployed projects are listed but cannot be selected.

Schema Mapping
Include Kobo question Type PostgreSQL column name
Some questions are not mappable in this slice:
This validates all wizard pages, creates the metadata record in the catalogue, then registers the KoboToolbox source against the new record — in one step.

Mapped columns

The mapping is read-only here. To change it, use the re-mapping flow (visible when schema drift is detected), or delete and re-register the source.
Source operations
Alarm:
Triggered at . Refer to the email sent to ADMIN_EMAILS and decide whether to pause the source. The alarm scheduler clears it automatically when the triggering conditions stop firing for a full window.
  • Removed from form: — these columns stay in PostGIS (historical rows preserved) but new submissions will not populate them. Re-map to acknowledge.
  • Type changes are not auto-handled in this release. Delete and re-register the source to apply. Affected:
  • The geographic question is no longer present or no longer geographic. Delete and re-register the source with a different geo question.
No new mappable questions — nothing to re-map at this time.
Add new columns to the destination table
Include Kobo question Type PostgreSQL column name
Re-mapping applied. New columns: .
Connection details (server URL, API token) cannot be changed in place — delete and re-register the source if you need to swap them.
