This analysis function uses the 3D grid that is used to display the 3D terrain view to generate slope (dimensionless),
gradient direction (degrees), stream power, etc attributes for a selected field. These results can then be used as an
input into the equation analysis function for further analysis. This function can also be run in batch.
How to generate a terrain analysis dataset.
Multi-Project Analysis (ADVANCED)
Multi-Project Analysis provides a very powerful tool for performing certain analysis functions over separate projects,
which have no link to each other. This is powerful because it provides a means for "pooling" of data from many
growers for example across a county or even an entire state for example. This ability would allow you to compare the
yield performance of a certain hybrid/variety across multiple growers in a region, without compromising the privacy of a
specific growers detailed information. You can also perform a correlation to see if there maybe was a correlation
between yield levels and pH values for a group of growers in a region.

Correlation Analysis
This analysis function provides the ability to help determine what variables that influence your crop production may
have a positive, negative, or no affect at all. An example you may want to see what the historical affect of different soil
properties like pH, OM, or CEC may be on yield in your fields over all the years that you have been collecting data.
You may find that pH and CEC have no relationship at all but OM has a high correlation meaning as its value
increases so do yield levels and vice versa.

Comparison Analysis
This analysis function is an extremely powerful tool for showing relationships between all the various types of data that
you have in your system. It allows you to select a dataset, such as yield data and compare it by soil type, pH values,
etc.

Spatial Data Finder (ADVANCED)
The Spatial Data Finder provides a tool for finding data in the system that you would like to map without having to
manually select it from the management tree or the calendar view. You define a custom filter, similar to what you would
do for a report, that allows you to search the system for any spatial data that meets your selected filters. For example
you can setup a filter that finds all Grain Harvest data of a specific product, such as Corn. The result is that you get an
output that generates one or more layers (based on how you select to group the results) in a new map or the currently
active map.
