Information to record

Use these prompts to agree the record for your project. Keep the answers and their source references together; leave an unknown value explicit rather than filling it with an assumption.

Area allocation
Assign site sections and their boundaries.
ID convention
State how new identifiers are allocated.
Check-in arrangement
Agree when progress and issues are reviewed.
Conflict record
List overlapping or inconsistent entries.
Merge review
Identify who confirms the reconciled dataset.

Checks for this task

  1. Check boundary interfaces between assigned areas.
  2. Do not silently choose one conflicting observation without review.
  3. Verify shared updates using the actual authorised accounts and devices.

A worked example

Illustrative example, not a client case: Two recorders cover adjacent gardens. Their coordinator reviews trees near the interface and resolves a duplicated entry with the source photographs, keeping the correction note with the final schedule.

Scope and limits

Coordination prompts do not guarantee sync behaviour; test the supported workflow before live team use.

Use the worksheet

The download contains the prompts and checks above with space for your project notes. It is a plain text document you can edit in a text editor or copy into your project brief. It contains no client information and does not run calculations, import records or change an account.
