Hi Florence, You are exactly right, this is a very good description of the attributes within the default Collect Earth surveys. If you don't need the elevation, slope *elevation, slope* and aspect *aspect* you may remove **may remove** them (and their calculated range attributes), the fields that are always necessary on the CSV file with the plot locations are *id,YCoordinate *and* XCoordinate*. The *operator, actively_saved, actively_saved_on *and* plot_file* should always **always** be in the survey as they are used internally by Collect Earth (the survey will fail in Collect Earth if you remove them) Thanks for the help describing the fields.
