Capture data for the right data point

As mentioned earlier, in order to submit monitoring data to an existing data point you need to be able to easily select it first. Many surveys have a vast number of data points registered, so it may be hard to find a specific data point in the list just by looking at the data point name. To minimize this problem, you can limit the number of datapoints which will be downloaded to a device. If, however, a device downloads a lot of datapoints, here is a list of ways to easily identify the data point you want to monitor:

1. Sort your list of data points by distance
2. Search by data point name or data point ID
3. Use the map
4. Check the data submitted in the registration form

It is very important that you make sure that you have selected the correct data point before you start monitoring it. We advise using a combination of the above mentioned ways.
