Hello,
I'm a new user to Camelot, so this is probably a very silly question, but I cannot find the bulk import option in Camelot. I just downloaded the Mac version today from the Camelot website.
The download says camelot-1.6.16 and the version file says 4.0.6
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Heather / Peter,
Camelot's bulk import is only available for new surveys before any data
is added to them.
You should find this option again by creating a new survey.
Unfortunately it is quite difficult to reconcile data added to Camelot
by hand and any data then subsequently imported via a CSV. Hence we
guide against doing a bulk import into anything other than a new survey.

Thanks Chris! That helps a lot.
As a follow up question, is it possible to have bulk import identify multiple species/sightings in a photo? Right now when I upload photos from my csv if I have multiple detections it will only label the photo as one of those classes. For instance, if there's 2 Female adult deer and 1 fawn, it will label the photo as "1 fawn" even though the CSV has one line for the adult labels and one line for the fawn labels. Is there a way to fix this? It seems to be an issue with overriding the most recent label that it reads from the csv.
I could get around this by writing a script that copies each photo that has multiple detections and makes them into 2 separate photos that get labeled differently, but that seems inefficient.

Hi Heather,
Unfortunately it's not supported today. The approach you suggested of
duplicating the row in the CSV with any other species is the best
approach to get the data in.
Camelot will be smart enough to figure out that the sightings were
distinct so long as the species is different, or any sighting fields
(e.g., for adult vs fawn) are marked as "affecting independence"
