How to record a field activity

Goal

Plan or record field work such as planting, an application or harvesting, and track its status and resources.

Steps

  1. Open Activities. The board groups work by Planned, Waiting for Conditions, In Progress, Completed and Cancelled. Choose New Activity to plan work or Record completed activity when the work has already been done.

  2. Choose the activity type, such as herbicide application or root fertilization. Enter its title, priority and planned or reactive origin. Use the Plots, Supplies, Machinery and Personnel tabs to assign resources and locations; Conditions to set weather limits; and Dependency when another activity must finish first.

  3. Open the created activity to review its status and each tab, or edit it when the plan changes.

Result

The activity appears on the board with its recorded status. Check that status in the detail view; origin alone does not indicate whether the work is completed.

Common mistakes

  • Setting weather limits that are too restrictive for local conditions. The activity may remain waiting because the forecast rarely meets those limits.
  • Confusing the activity’s origin with its execution status. Use Record completed activity for work already performed, and check both the origin and status before saving.
