Specify 7 configurations help

Hi Team,

We just recently upgraded from Specify 6 to Sp7 (v7.12.0.6)

I have Institutional admin role assigned In Sp7 and my “User Tools” is missing the “Batch Identify” button, is that normal for this version or maybe our configuration is missing something?

Also, It seems there’s a disconnection between SP6 and SP7 in MYSQL/MariaDB, my queries are “frozen” to the Timestamp created/modified which is before the upgrade was made, new DB entries/modifications are not showing. Did we miss a step during docker configurations or the connection must be established after?

Thanking you in advance!

Hi @TshililoP,

The Batch Identify tool was added in Specify 7.12.1, so all you’ll need to do is update your Specify 7 instance to the latest release and it will be available for you!

As for your question about the queries being ‘frozen’, the TimestampModified and TimestampCreated values should be updated as soon as you save any changes. It sounds like your Specify 7 instance is using a different database entirely. I would check to see if the connection details between Specify 7 and Specify 6 are identical, as your Specify 7 instance might be connecting to a database inside of a MariaDB container (as is the default with our all-in-one deployment) while your Specify 6 instance may not.

Thanks @Grant , I will forward this to our ICT team.
