-The inventory is always linked to an analysis area*, and usually to a sample of the stands in this area (possibly in different domains). This if the "stratification" of the imported stand register was successful. Data from the predeeding sample design is here selected, first the sample stands (a.k.a. the Treatment Units), then the corresponding sample plots (a.k.a. the Reference Units).
+After a sample has been designed, also an inventory (database) needs to be designed before the actual field inventory. Both the export of a database to the data collector and the import of in-field collected data is handled from here.
