Edit Field
Open a field to view the editing options on the right side of the screen. These options allow you to edit the field and sampling activity details.
Clicking the menu next to the field name brings up the options to rename or delete the field. If Rename is selected, a window will open to enter a new name for the field. If Delete Field is selected, a window will open asking to cofirm that you want to delete the field
Edit Activity
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
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.
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 and then press Remove Boundaries to exit deletion 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
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, but only grids can be created on 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 Generate zone grid to create a new grid zones for the field
- First, select the grid size. Preset sizes include 1, 2.5, and 5 acres
- Custom zone sizes can be created by selecting Zone Size. Create custom zones by either acre size or length/width in feet.
- 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 5%, no auto-merging will take place. To increase the percentage and enable the auto-merge feature, move the slider to the right. 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:
This grid is set to 5%, the minimum. Notice the small zone slivers on the the right hand side of the field.
This grid is set to 80%, the maximum and most aggressive auto-merge setting. Notice the bottom 2 rows of grids have been merged.
This grid is set to the recommended starting point of 33%. The slivers on the far right have been merged, but the larger zones have not.Remember you can always manually merge two zones together later to fine tune things.
- Next, use the arrows on the edit menu or your keyboard to move and rotate the grid map into the desired location and orientation
- Note that the grid editor is a second-level editor, meaning you must close out of grid editing to return to the rest of the field activity editing options. Once you are satisfied with the placement of the grid, save the grid and return to the main level edit mode for the rest of the zone editing options
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.
