Adding field entrances in FarmQA Scouting

Overview

Within FarmQA scouting a user can mark the location of a field entrance either when creating a field, or add an entrance to an existing field. The benefits of doing this are to 1) see the location of the entrance within the app, and 2) provide navigation to the entrance location using your phones built in navigation (i.e. Google Maps, Apple Maps). See the step-by-step instructions on how to add entrances to your fields below.

Adding a field entrance to an existing field

1. Log in to your FarmQA Scouting app.
2. Click on the field you would like to add an entrance to, either on the map or list tab.
3. On the field "Field details" pane, which you can access by pressing the "..." button, click on the "Set Field Entrance" button on the bottom right-hand corner (see below).
4. Finally click within the field where the entrance should be added.
   • NOTE: the entrance can be updated by clicking on the entrance icon again and clicking a new location. 
   • Additionally, a user can navigate or remove the entrance by clicking the green entrance icon within the field, then pressing the "Route To" button.

Adding a field entrance to a new field

1. Log in to your FarmQA Scouting app.
2. Click on the blue plus button in the bottom right-hand corner and click "New field".
3. Follow these instructions to create a field, then click the field entrance icon in the top menu bar (see below).
4. Press the "Add field entrance" button, then click within the field where the entrance is located. Click "Add field" to complete.

• NOTE: Adding field entrances can be done by Enterprise admins only.
