Editing Fields

To edit a field name or adjust its boundary, first select the desired farm at the top of the screen.  Then, navigate to the Fields area menu and select the  Edit button for the desired field to be edited.

A warning message will appear with a notice that editing a field boundary will impact Planet imagery availability, if applicable.  Select the Confirm button to proceed to the next step.

The field boundary will now be editable so that any field name and/or boundary edits can be completed.  Once edits have been completed, select the Save button.

Note: Boundary changes will force satellite images to re-download and be cached again.

Creating New Fields

To create a new field, first select the desired farm at the top of the screen.  Then, navigate to the Fields area menu and select Create new field.

Next, select + New field.

Create the new field with either the Draw your fields, Upload file or Field detection options. The option to Create without shapes should be avoided.

Draw Your Fields

When drawing a new field boundary, simply start clicking within the map to identify boundary points along the border of the field.  Select the first boundary point, or double-click, to close the shape, name the field and then either select Save or Save and draw another.

Upload File

Follow this process to upload a boundary file for a new field or fields.

Select within the Click or drag file to this area to upload button.

Search for and select the desired shapefiles and then select the Open button.
Note: Shapefiles have individual .shp, .shx and .dbf files that need to be within the same zipped folder together.

The File Attributes menu provides the ability to set the field name for boundaries that are being imported. The desired choice will be an attribute that contains anything similar to Name or Field Name. After selecting the appropriate file attribute select Next to continue in the process.

The fields will now display within the map and are available for any necessary edits. Complete the upload process by selecting Save.

Field Detection

Select an existing Common Land Unit (CLU) boundary and edit the field name as needed.  Repeat this process for any new additional fields and then select Create fields.

Any newly created fields will then be available within Cropwise Imagery and will force a new download of satellite imagery to be cached within Google Chrome's browser.
