Edit Field
Field Details
Once a field is open, you can click on the menu button next to the field name to edit the field name details, or to delete the field
Clicking the menu next to the field name brings up the options to edit, delete, or share the field. If Edit is selected, a window will open to enter a new name for the client, farm, or field. Or you can switch the field to a different existing client and farm by clicking on the dropdown arrows next to each. If Delete Field is selected, a window will open asking to confirm that you want to delete the field
Activity Details
There are two ways to open the sampling activity edit options
Option 1
Click the menu next to the sampling activity, and then click Edit
Option 2
Click the Edit icon in the sampling details window
Editing Field Boundaries
Adjust Boundary
To edit the boundary, ensure you are on the Boundary tab of the activity editing page
To edit an existing boundary, click the boundary on the map that you are choosing to edit. You will see the boundary vertices around the edge of the field appear.
Click and drag a point to adjust the boundary. Moving a point will generate a new point between the two that can also be adjusted. Once finished, click outside of the boundary on the map to complete changes, the click Save Changes in the lower right corner.
Add Boundary
To add additional boundaries in the same field, select New Boundary in the boundary edit menu. This will open a menu of options to create a new boundary for the field.
- Draw: Dropping boundary vertices by clicking on the map to create a boundary polygon (see below)
- Drive: Use the mobile device GPS location and a field vehicle to draw a boundary line around a field by driving the perimeter
- Upload: Import a shapefile of an existing boundary
- Reference Layers: Copy a boundary from a reference layer that is saved in the Map Layer menu
- Activity Boundaries: Copy a boundary from a previous sampling activity
- Zone Perimeter: Use the perimeter of a zone sampling file in the current activity to create a field boundary
- Target Bounds: Use the perimeter of a target point sampling file in the current activity to create a field boundary
Below is an example of drawing an additional boundary into an existing field and activity. Once the additional boundary is created, click Save Changes
Delete Boundary
To delete boundary polygons, select Remove Boundaries in the edit boundary menu. Tap on the polygon you want to remove. Press Stop in the lower left corner to exit boundary removal mode.
Selecting Clear all Boundaries will remove all boundaries for the field, as well as zones are target points. If a boundary is unintentionally deleted, it can be restored by clicking Undo.
Snip into Boundary
To cut into an existing boundary file (such as to cut out a waterway), select Cut Boundary in the edit boundary menu, and then Draw New Cut.
Note: There is also an option to drive a new cut by using GPS location from your mobile device
Tap on the map to draw the shape you want to cut out.
When finished making changes, click Save Changes
Editing Zones
Sampling zones in the form of grids or polygons can be imported, or created in the Radicle app. For instructions on how to import zones, reference Importing a New Field
Grid Creation
-
Select Zones in the editing menu to see the zone editing options.
-
Press New Zones to open the zone menu window
-
Press Grid on the menu to open the grid creation tool
-
Grid size can be adjusted by clicking the grid size box in the editor. You can use preset grid sizes of 1, 2.5, 5, or 10 acres, or click on the grid size to edit to a custom number. You can also adjust grid size to a custom length and width by clicking the Feet tab
-
The Auto-Merge Threshold percentage can be used to merge small grids together with a neighboring, full-sized grid. When the percentage is set to 0%, no auto-merging will take place. To increase the percentage and enable the auto-merge feature, increase the auto-merge threshold percentage. The percentage dictates the range of grid sizes that will automatically merge with larger grids. For example, setting the Auto-Merge Threshold to 20% on a 2.5-acre grid map will result in any grid that is 0.5-acres are smaller getting merged with a neighboring grid zone. See the following examples:
-
Next, use the arrows on the edit menu or your keyboard to move and rotate the grid map into the desired location and orientation. As you move and adjust the grid the zone numbers and average acres/zone will update at the bottom of the editor
- Click Save once grid editing is complete. You can also click Cancel to close the editor without saving your changes.
Zone Merging
While in Editing mode with the Zones tab selected, click the "Merge zones" button to enable the merge zones feature.
Once enabled, you can manually merge two grids or polygons together. To do this, simply click the first zone that you want to merge (an orange circle will appear), then double click on the adjacent zone that you want to merge with it. The two zones will then merge together.
Once you are done merging zones, click Save Changes to confirm the changes.
Editing Target Points
In edit mode, select the Targets tab
To create a target point in every zone, click Generate targets in the edit menu
Additional target points can be added by clicking Add Targets and then clicking on the map
Target points can be moved by clicking Move Targets and then clicking and dragging target points around the map
Target points can be deleted by clicking Remove Targets and then clicking the points to delete them. Clicking Clear all targets will remove all target points from the map.
Once target point editing is complete, click Save Changes.
