Input is a simple survey app allowing users to capture data in field. Forms and data preparation can be done in QGIS software.
Input is not aimed to be a full GIS/mapping application. It is designed with simplicity, ease of use and seamless data synchronisation in mind.
A typical workflow for using Input consists of the following steps:
-
Preparing project: user loads background and survey layers, set up the forms, apply styling to the layers, set up map themes and define the layers to be used for survey purpose. See Project preparation
-
Data/project transfer: once the project set up, users need to transfer data to the device. This can be achieved through Mergin. See Data transfer
-
Working with Input: map navigation, data editing, including filling the forms, viewing existing data and uploading the changes back to Mergin. See Using Input
-
Input user interface: describes various buttons, options and configurations. See Input user interface
