Color Fields by Farms

Overview

By default, fields within FarmQA Controller are colored by crop or variety. However, they can also be colored by farm by following the instructions below. 

Configuration

• Login to FarmQA Controller as an Enterprise Administrator
• Click on "Settings"-> "Organization" ->"Details" (see below)

• Next click on the farm that needs a color assigned
• There are two color options
  1. "Use Parent Color"
     • It is recommended to use this if an enterprise has three or more levels. For Example, 1) enterprise 2) Agronomist 3) Farms. In this example the Farms could be given the color of their "parent", or agronomist, and the agronomist level would get a custom color. The end result would be a view of fields grouped by agronomist.
  2. "Use Custom Color" (Most common)
     • It is recommended to use this for any unit directly under the root. For example, 1) Enterprise 2) Farms. In this case each farm would get a custom color and the end result would be a view of fields by farm.
• After clicking on a farm, select "use custom color"-> then click on a color from the displayed pallet.
  
  • NOTE: you have to first click on the box to get the pallet to display

Using the color options

• On the Map tab click on the slide out pane
• Then select which coloring option you would like to use
  • "Color by Crop"
  • "Color by Farm"
• After selecting an option the map will update
  • NOTE: The legend will also change to reflect acreage totals by category (see below)
