Creating your first project

Create a project inside the organization, connect forms, and prepare the workspace for field activity.

Workflow

The standard setup follows six sequential steps. Each step builds on the previous one, so completing them in order avoids dependency errors.

  1. 1Register your account
  2. 2Create an organisation
  3. 3Create a project inside the organisation
  4. 4Create a form and attach it to the project
  5. 5Create user accounts for your field team
  6. 6Assign users to the project and the forms they will use
Step 03

Create project

Projects group forms, users, and registrations together. Each project belongs to exactly one organisation. Create a project for each distinct field activity or study.

  1. 1.Select your organisation from the sidebar.
  2. 2.Navigate to Projects, then All projects.
  3. 3.Click Create new.
  4. 4.Enter the project name, description, location, and organisation.
  5. 5.Click Save.

Step 04

Connect forms

After the project exists, connect the forms that the field team will use. Forms keep project submissions organized and make reporting easier later.

  1. 1.Open the project workspace.
  2. 2.Go to the forms area.
  3. 3.Create a new form or attach an existing one.
  4. 4.Confirm the form is visible inside the project.
Step 06

Assign user

Assigning a user to a project gives them access to the forms and registrations inside that project. Data collectors must be assigned before they can collect data in the mobile app.

  1. 1.Navigate to User, then Assign user.
  2. 2.Select the project from the dropdown.
  3. 3.Search for the user and select their assignment type.
  4. 4.Click Assign.
