Error when adding a multiple entity

Question

Hi all The sampling unit in my survey is "plot". When I add a multiple entity (form layout) I get the following error message: - Layout not supported: check the layout of other multiple entities within the same tab. When I click on a existing multiple entity with form layout the following message appears: - layoutType: Layout not supported: check the layout of other multiple entities within the same tab So, how can I add a multiple entity with form layout? My second issue is: Three deadwood transects are to be measured on each plot. On each transect there may be several pieces of deadwood. How to organise that in Collect? Recently I had the same problem. See my post. But I don't really unserstand the funcion of "tab". Many thanks!

Dear Sabrina, please take a look the two Collect templates provided at http://www.openforis.org/materials.html where there are form layouts as well as table types applied for entities. Template 1 contains several tabs and entities, and you can get ideas how to build a good survey. If you plan to do a new survey from scratch, always add a tab before a new entity! If you do not add it, you may get a very messy user-interface for your survey. The best practice is to take a template, modify and test it. Hope this helps, Lauri
