5. Best Practices
Consistent Naming: Ensure station and instrument names in your import files exactly match those in GeoSens.
Use Search First: Narrow down thousands of rows quickly via the top search bar.
Batch Edits: Always enter Edit Grid mode to modify multiple rows at once—don’t edit one row at a time.
Audit Your Imports: After importing, immediately verify key mappings by filtering on newly added Station Type or Instrument Name.
Minimal Admin-Only Flags: Reserve Admin Only for truly sensitive instruments or sets.
