Convidar colaboradores

Collaborators are people who work as a team to gather and share information together. CoMapeo does not recognize people, but it does recognizes devices through a unique Device ID. To make it easier to associate a Device ID with a person, CoMapeo will display the associated Device Name as shown in CoMapeo Settings.

Only Coordinators can invite collaborators to a CoMapeo Project by Inviting Devices either when setting up a project, or when reviewing the Team list.

Why invite collaborators to your projects?

Mapping with others makes the work more powerful. When people collect information together, more ground can be covered to create shared mapping data. CoMapeo is designed to support the exchange of mapping information as a team with, even when offline.

Exchange cannot be used without collaborators.

When gathering information with CoMapeo, there are three ways to start collaborating with others.

• Starting a New Project Go to 🔗 Creating a New Project for full details

• Inviting a Collaborator to My Solo Project

• Inviting a Collaborator to an existing Project
