So how many of you use that “seen” feature? say what?
Well if you look at the details of an artwork in the app you’ll find ‘seen’ in the community notes
When you press it you open a new window where you can add some information like ‘still there, but a bit faded’ or just ‘add note’ without extra information.
This will become a very usefull tool for all our hunters, giving them an extra set of eyes who just verified that teh artwork is still there!
So just wondering, have you clicked it yet?
Sure, wherever I am… .
Even in my hometown Oostende, I’ll try to make sometimes a little detour to check some works and push the seen button. Or sometimes, I discover some interventions I didn’t upload so far (Jaune…)
In the future, this should even become a kind of a requirement for hunters to check at least 75percent of the works in their place. In fact, it shouldn’t be a requirement, a real committed hunter takes the initiative by themselve? Often it’s not even an effort, daily things like going for groceries or bring the kids to activities… we always pass street art we have uploaded.
Good to bring this under the spotlights Tim!
Hi, as I am starting a Duesseldorf Tour to see what is still there and what is missing I always add the same comment: is it still there, informations about the condition and a date. For me it is a reminder when have I seen it the last time and for other users it will be a timeline of still there to destroyed. I think it is a cool tool and by using it we will see if it is a necessary and helpful information
Yep, have used it already sometimes in other cities then Ghent.
@thomas can you tell us a bit more about the dynamics behind the ‘seen’ button.
Does it only work when you’re on site?
How many times can you mark an artwork as ‘seen’? I can imagine for hunters it’s useful to use it multiple times in a year, to check certain artwork if they’re still there.
Je le fais régulièrement lors de mes balades, c’était une évidence dès ma première utilisation de sac, afin d’actualiser ce qui est là ou pas bien sûr
Mais je n’ai pas de “pop-up” qui s’ouvre 
Effectivement on ne peut le faire qu’une seule fois, ou supprimer le premier “vu”
C’est une super fonctionnalité qui méritait bien un rappel 
An improvement (all be it not simple) might be to make it so that a user can only hit the seen button whenever they are in the vicinity of the work?
I now sometimes see in the timeline that people are marking artworks as seen on the same day, that are thousands of km’s apart. I can only speculate, but it looks like these users have seen that artwork at some point in time and are now “collecting” it in the app. That doesn’t guarantee the work is still there of course. I think those type of interactions take away from the reliability of using the “seen” as an indicator the work is still alive
True.
Interesting how this will evolve. A " direct seen " with some geo check or a seen when you could hit if you had seen in the past.
The seen is a quality check, but it also saves plenty of time for the app users when revisiting a place.
I know that the ‘seens’ on the spot only count in the visitors segment of our partners.
I know that I sometimes use the ‘seen’ button later, when I realize I saw it.
Maybe adding the 'picture feature ’ like in the ‘removed’ button would be proof of your physical visit.
