Prescription Data
Prescription data can be created based on a map and its layers. Prescription rate values can be either manually
created using paint tools or can be created from the values contained in another data layer. The created prescription
data can be saved in the management system and displayed in the Management Tree and exported as an ESRI
Shape, MID/MIF, TGT prescription file for use in the Ag LeaderPF3000 or PF3000 Pro, PRE prescription files for use
in Flexi-Coil FlexControl systems or Case IH ADX Air Systems, and ENS prescription files for use in Case IH AFS
Planting and Seeding Systems.

Soil Sampling Data
Soil Sampling data can be created based on a map and its layers and or from imported data. Soil Sampling plans can
be generated manually by drawing regions or through the soil sampling wizard which guides you through the process
of creating sample points, grids, or regions. You can also manually add new sample points or edit existing sampling
datasets. Soil test results can also be imported to populate the soil sampling attribute entries for each sample point,
grid, or region or they can be manually entered. Soil sampling data can be saved in the management system and
displayed in the Management Tree and exported as ESRI Shape, MID/MIF, ASCII text, or PFN navigation file for use
in the Ag Leader PF3000 or PF3000 Pro.

Scouting Data
Scouting data can be created based on a map and its layers. Scouting data can consist of just general observations
about crop conditions or it can also include pest observations. Scouting data is created and edited as a single dataset
but when saved, the different types of scouting information will be broken out automatically for you into unique scouting
operations in the management tree. Also scouting datasets are area based only, meaning they cant just be points or
lines. Once you have created and saved scouting data, you can then export this data as ESRI Shape, MID/MIF, ASCII
text, or to Ag Leader's SMS Mobile software.

Plot Prescription Data (ADVANCED)
Plot Prescription data can be created based on a map and its layers. Only a single Plot Prescription can be created per
dataset. Plot Prescriptions are also created based on settings/parameters that are entered and only the start location
(baseline) for the plots are drawn or manually entered. Once created Plot Prescriptions can be exported as generic file
formats or as a planting prescription that can be export to the ALMACO SP360 controller.

Tile Plan Data (ADVANCED)
Tile Plan data can be created based on a map and its layers. Tile Plans consist of tile runs that can be drawn. If a 3D
surface grid exists for the field then the tile runs will get a surface elevation value from the surface otherwise they will
get a value of zero. Tile Plans can be exported for use by the Ag Leader based Intelislope system or the Gradient
Intelislope system to install drainage tile.

Buffer Regions (ADVANCED)
Buffer regions can be created and tied to any object in the system. For example you can add a buffer region (polygon)
to a point, line, or polygon object. The unique thing about Buffer regions is that they remain associated to the object
you add them to, which is very much different than the Create Rings Tool, which make buffer/ring polygons for a
selected object that can be saved as whatever you want and loses any association with the object it was created from.
When you add a Buffer region to an object though, that buffer is then available for display, query, analysis, etc
