# How to assign a data owner name while importing from collect mobile!

Asked by dhunganamilan on 2016-09-01

Hello Openforis team,

When I import any data from collect mobile, I only see owner name as 'unassigned' in the summary of data management page (However one can select the owner afterwards.). It would be better if owner name is assigned automatically while importing the data. Do you guys have any better idea on this? It will create an issue to determine the owner/collector when you have number of devices collecting data from various forests and you want to import it to a server or a computer later.

Thanks

Milan
