5. Integrating the data collection in the workflow saves a lot of time.
Having a submission form feeding your database is the most efficient. Nowadays
there are plenty of solutions to do this, including Uwazi, but even if you cannot
connect them directly, you should be able to download the collected data in an
interoperable format, such as CSV, and load it into your database. To facilitate
this operation, the collection form and the database structure should be
identical.
In this project, the transmission of information between elements representing
different stages of the project was facilitated with a customized copy-paste
feature which detected matching fields between templates.
