Build Module: Survey Workflow - Recording a New Inventory

This article will guide you through the process of recording a new inventory using the Build Module in our survey workflow.

Definition of Missing Inventory

Missing Inventory can be categorized into two main types:

1. Inventory Found in the Field but Not on the Map: This refers to existing items that are discovered during a survey but are not listed in the current inventory records.

2. New Inventory to Be Built: This involves the identification of locations where new inventory needs to be added, such as the construction of a new pole at a specific point.
