11. Go back to the Constant area and click in the box below Enter Value and type in " 50

". Click the Add to Equation button.

12. Click the empty row between the BEGIN and END functions. Now go back to the

Equation Functions area and then click the RESULT= button.

13. In

the Constant area click in the box below Enter Value and type in " 150 ". Click the

Add to Equation button.

14. Click the Validate button (the button to the right of the equation area with a large

green check mark on it. ). Once your equation is validated without any errors you can
click the FINISH button to automatically save your analysis function and then run it.

The end result should look something like this:

**Equation for potash recommendation using yield data and the rules if yield <= 50
then

potash rate = 100 and if yield > 50 then potash rate = 50 **

If ( Yield <= 50.00 ) Then

Begin

RESULT= 100.00

End

Else If ( Yield > 50.00 ) Then

Begin

RESULT= 150.00

End

Your analysis function has now been created and saved automatically. To run the saved analysis function you
just built, make sure you select the function in the list of saved analysis' and then select either the Single Field
button or the Multiple Fields button to run your analysis. A dataset filter will now appear that will allow you to
select data from a single field or multiple fields depending on the option you selected. Click NEXT> once you
have selected your dataset filter, then review the datasets that have been found for use in your analysis and
then click FINISH run to the analysis.

8. The Analysis Editor will be displayed once the analysis completes, showing a

preview of the spatial dataset that was created. No editing is allowed in this editor
and its purpose is more for a visual check of your results before they are actually
saved into the system. Tooltips should also display as you move your cursor over
the grid cells on the map. At this point the data has not been saved and if you
click the CLOSE button your results will be lost and you will have to re-run the
analysis function to get a new analysis dataset. The mapped attribute can be
switched to show the result attributes that are created. A Dataset Name entry is
also provided where you can enter in a custom name that will be used to save the
dataset in the management tree.

9. Once you are satisfied with the results displayed and you want to save them into

the system, click the SAVE button.

10. The Management Selection dialog should not appear. Select where you would

like the analysis dataset saved and click the ACCEPT button.

11. You have now successfully created and saved an equation based analysis dataset

that can be mapped, printed, used in another analysis function such as an input to
another equation, etc.
