Local Data Survey Instrument (LDSI) is the app used by all data collectors for data entry. User must log in with NRI username and password. Once logged in, the data collector is presented with 7 sections of survey questions. Only 1 section is viewable at a time and the data collector progresses through all sections by answering each survey question. Aerial images and FSA crop history information for the current year and review years are available as reference material. When data collection is completed for a segment and the data has been saved, the segment moves into the next stage which is SRIC Review. See LDSI training below for more detailed information.
