Share Data Among Multiple People
After joining the same project:

- Data is synchronized by project
- Easily aggregate data from multiple surveyors
For example:

Each person can be responsible for their own area but data is still managed centrally in the same project.
Some Notes
- Only project owner can delete the project
- Internet is required to synchronize data among members
- Members need to have a Geocollect account to join the project
- Should name projects clearly by area or survey mission
For example:

- ABC Commune Land Use Status Inventory

With capabilities:
