Field Management
Fields are the foundation of your farm data. Each field represents a physical plot of land with a defined boundary, area, and assigned crop.Adding a Field
Start Drawing
Click the + Add Field button. The map will enter drawing mode with polygon tools enabled.
Draw the Boundary
Click on the map to place corner points of your field boundary. Click each vertex to outline the shape. Close the polygon by clicking the first point again or using the finish button.
Review & Edit the Polygon
After drawing, you’ll see a Confirm Geometry step. You can:
- Drag vertices to adjust the shape
- Review the calculated area in hectares
- Discard and draw again if needed
Field Area Calculation
The field area is automatically calculated from the polygon geometry when you save. The area is displayed in hectares (ha) and is recalculated whenever you edit the field boundary.Area calculations use geodesic measurements to account for the Earth’s curvature, ensuring accuracy even for large fields.
Editing a Field
- Click on a field in the list or on the map
- Edit the name, crop, or boundary
- If you modify the polygon, the area is recalculated automatically
- Save your changes
Deleting a Field
- Select the field you want to remove
- Click Delete
- Confirm the deletion
Archiving a Field
Instead of permanently deleting, you can archive a field:- Open the field detail page
- Click the Archive button
- The field is soft-archived and removed from active views
Uploading Field Data
You can also upload field boundaries from files:- Go to Uploads in the sidebar (under the Fields module)
- Upload shapefiles (
.shp,.geojson,.kml) containing field boundaries - Review and import the uploaded fields
Crops
Manage your crop types from the Crops page:- Add custom crop varieties
- Assign crops to fields
- Track which crops are grown across your farm
