Introduction
Ivent is an Windows Mobile application for handheld devices. It is used for field inventory of sample plot data. The inventory of a sample plot includes the registration of tree and site characteristics. The application can retrieve data from peripheral devices (through Bluetooth (TM)), including a digital caliper (for tree diameter measurement), a clinometer (for tree height measurement), a GPS, and a new tree positioning device (PosTex).

How Do I?
Considerable techniqualities are involved in a field inventory. In short, the work always begins indoors, with PlanStart and other softwares (e.g. GIS) and available information, before entering the outdoors, fully equipped. Back from field, and now loaded with information about the forests; the stands, the plots, and the trees, the user will once again be stationed by the computer to finish the work in PlanStart. Finally, there should be a forest described and imported to a Heureka forest database, ready for analyses with, e.g., PlanWise.
