Individual Habitat Cards

• The Individual Habitat Record Pages provide the fourth and final level of detail within Mycelia's Assessment workflow. Each habitat in a biodiversity metric has its own dedicated page, bringing together:
  • all data pulled directly from the metric
  • any errors relating specifically to that habitat
  • photos submitted by the applicant
  • internal notes and review status

This allows assessors to carry out a systematic, detailed review of every habitat and maintain a clear audit trail.

The video below shows how to record and view information for individual habitats in Mycelia.

What each habitat page contains

Every habitat in the metric gets its own dedicated page. On it, you will find:

• Metric data - all the figures pulled directly from the biodiversity metric for that habitat
• Habitat-specific errors - any confirmed errors that relate to this particular record
• Applicant photos - any images submitted by the applicant for this habitat
• Internal notes - observations, questions, and decisions recorded during assessment
• Review status - whether the habitat has been marked as reviewed

Tracking your progress

Each habitat page has a Mark as reviewed button. Use this to record that you have checked a habitat, so you (and your colleagues) can see at a glance which habitats still need attention.

The navigation controls at the top of each page support this workflow:

• Outer buttons - step through every habitat in order
• Inner buttons - skip habitats that have already been reviewed, jumping straight to the next one that still needs checking

This avoids duplicating work and makes it easy to pick up where you or a colleague left off.

Recording notes

At the bottom of each habitat page is a notes section. Use it to record:

• Observations about the habitat data
• Questions to raise with the applicant or ecologist
• Decisions made during assessment
• Follow-up actions

Each note is automatically tagged with a reference to the habitat it relates to, so the context is always clear.

Copying notes

Use the Copy notes button to export all your notes at once. The habitat references are retained when copied, so you can paste them directly into emails, reports, or other documents without losing track of which note relates to which habitat.

Team-based workflows

Because review status and notes are shared, colleagues working on the same case can see which habitats have already been checked. This supports collaborative assessment and ensures nothing is missed when work is handed between team members.

Where it fits in the workflow

Individual habitat cards are Level 4 - the final and most detailed level of Mycelia's Assessment workflow. Use them after reviewing Metric Errors (Level 1), Summary Tables (Level 2), and the Flow Diagram (Level 3). This is where you carry out the granular, habitat-by-habitat review and build the audit trail for your assessment.
