Adding a New Growing Season

General User Overview

Growing seasons can easily be added within FarmQA controller. This feature allows users to assign crops and fields to growing season. Season can then be used as a filter elsewhere in the product. Instructions for adding growing seasons can be found below.

Adding a New Growing Season

• Login to FarmQA controller 
  • Note: only users with the "Enterprise Administrator" role can complete the task below.
• Within the enterprise click on "settings" on the left-hand side of the screen, then on “Growing Seasons”
• Next click the "+" sign in the top bottom left-hand corner to add a new growing season (see below)

• After clicking the "+" sign a small drop down menu will show up. You can either duplicate from a previous season or start with a new empty season (See picture below).

Duplicating a Growing Season

This process will copy all crop to field associations from a previous year into a new season.

• Start by clicking on the growing season you would like to duplicate (it should be highlighted in blue)
• Next click the blue plus button->"Duplicate growing season"
• The newly created season will be named "Copy of (previous name)". Start by renaming the growing season to the new year.
• Set the season to "Active" if you want it to appear in the scouting app. If you are just crop planning, leave it as draft.
• Click Save when done
  
  • Changes can also be undone by clicking the undo button to the left of the save button

Creating a new "empty" growing season

• Click the "New growing season" option under the blue plus symbol
• Give the season a name, "2022" for example
• Associate a state
  • Use "Active" if the season should be visible in the scouting app, and "draft" if you are just crop planning.
• Click save, the new season will now appear elsewhere in FarmQA Controller allowing fields to be added to it.
