Learn how to build a customised data collection app using QGIS
Are you still taking walking around with a clipboard and paper to collect site data? Or have you hacked together a way of data collection using forms or spreadsheets on a tablet? Fear not, because those days will soon be behind you.
In this talk, I'll walk through how to set up a QGIS project to be able to be configured into a data collection app using either QField or Mergin Maps. Both of these tools have paid options which help to sync data from multiple users or can be used offline for free.
I'll explain several key steps to set this up, including:
- Initialising datasets to be populated during data collection
- Defining attributes for data collection, including options such as dropdown's for values, compulsory values, or automated fields
- Syncing data that has been collected
- Producing outputs
If you came to the Auckland meet up in 2022, you saw a 5 minute version of this presentation, but this time I'll walk through the whole process!
