User Interface
Allows the user to enter manual summary values at the Operational Instance level. Entered values will be distributed to
all loads/regions tied to the Operational Instance you have selected. You can still edit individual load/region summaries
via Edit Item for a selected load, but this option allows you enter in totals for a set of loads/regions and let the software
properly distribute the total to each load/region for you.
Alter List
Displays a list of all the logical items in the system for the selected item type. You can create, edit, or remove logical
items from this dialog, even if they are not being used currently.
Delete Branch
Deletes the selected item and everything below it in the Management Tree. This does not remove archived data from
the system, only the Management Tree information. Deleted items still remain in the system, to completely remove
them use the Alter List… selection described above.
Move Branch
Allows the user to manually change the management settings for a selected item in the Management Tree.
Edit Associated Data
Allows the user to view, edit, or add an Associate dataset, such as a Scale Ticket or Note.
Reassign Associated Data
Allows the user to edit the linkage of an Associated dataset to a management item(s) or remove it from the system
completely.
Spatial Sorter
Sorts spatial information based on its location relative to a set boundary area. Using this tool from the management
tree will only apply the sort to data that is below the current management level selection. Thus you can sort a selected
Grower or Farm only versus the Spatial Sort option located under the Tools menu which will sort all data in the system.
There are two options for sorting spatially:
Sort Fields into Farms
Uses a defined boundary area for a farm to sort fields with GPS into the appropriate farms.
Sort Loads into Fields
Uses a defined boundary area for a field to sort loads with GPS into the appropriate fields.
Merge Fields
Allows the merging of two logical fields into one. This option properly alters the data management for the merged fields
so that any changes or new data that is read in will automatically apply to the merged location.
Split Load /Region
Allows the user to split and sort a selected load/region into the appropriate spatial location even though it may have
been logged improperly. Once a load/region is split, it can will not be updated with new data or recalibrated when
adjusted data files are read in. This option should only be used once all related data has been read into the system
and you are ready to place the data in the proper spatial location.
Create As-Applied Data (Split Planter or Multi-Product)
Allows the user to create split planter or as-applied data from data that was not logged as such but was actually
planted with a split planter configuration or cases where one product was logged but in reality multiple products were
actually applied from different application operations. This option can only be applied to Site Verification or Application
operation types and is only available when a dataset of this type is selected in the tree. By selecting the Operational
Instance level in the tree, you can create new data for all the loads/regions listed below the instance or by selecting
individual loads/regions. There is also a batch function that allows you to create new as-applied data in bulk. Beyond
the ability to create split planter data a common use may be for data that was logged as Site Verification in the field but
you would document that a multi-product and multi-operation event occurred such as planting and fertilizing at the
same time. This tool allows you to easily generate Planting and Fertilizing as-applied data from the Site Verification
data that was logged.
Create Installed Tile Data
Allows the user to create an Installed Tile dataset from an existing Tile Plan dataset. No settings are required. This is
useful when a plan was made but the installed data wasn't collected or was lost. The Installed Tile dataste can then be
exported back out to the display as a reference layer.
Trace Boundary
Allows the user to generate a new boundary that exactly traces the swath edges of a selected dataset(s) in the
management tree. This option is not the default for the system because it does not allow for automatic
building/updating of boundaries when new data is read in. It is a manual process and requires data to be specifically
selected to trace. This function can also be run in batch via the Batch Command Utility. Please also note that Trace
Boundary is a slower process than either Regenerate Boundary or Freeze Boundary because of the detail at which it
traces your selected data.
Regenerate Boundary
