Data Collection Ownership
Separate from the users involved in a Data Collection Workflow, the Data Collection owner is the organizational division that owns the data collection. The owner can perform managerial Data Collection actions such as defining the start and end dates, managing assignments, setting up Data Collection notifications, tracking collection progress, and reviewing submissions.

Product Tip
Institutions may choose to have Colleges or Departments own Data Collection if they are the only unit in the Organizational hierarchy completing the Data Collection’s forms. This structure or ownership allows the College or Department autonomy to manage Data Collection forms and results as needed, without required support from an Institution Admin.
Institutions should not assign a College or Department as the owner of a Data Collection if more than one College or Department will be using the Data Collection.
Data Collection User Role Access
When determining what user roles will be involved in the data collection, it is essential to consider which Institution offices will be required to contribute to or approve the form.
