Monitoring features will enabe users to download data on existing points on their phones, and add information to these points This feature introduces the concept of a 'monitored entity', which has a identity and can be tracked over time. Multiple different surveys can contribute data to a single entity.
This can be visualised by comparing it with record files containing paper forms: one of the forms creates the record file, and other forms can be added to the record file. A special form may also exist which archives or closes the record file. The enumerator has access to a certain set of record files, including the forms contained in them.
