Field jobs lets you record farm work, specific to what you do in your fields. You can set up work categories and include inputs in a structured way so that they can be used for reporting.

Field jobs can be attached to one or more fields and multiple inputs can be attached to the same job.  When inputs are added to a field job you can set a rate for them and a total for each input is calculated based on the working area of the fields for that job. Add an input type to keep your information organised for reporting (fertilizer, seed, spray, other).


Mobile 

  • Tap on the "Add Field Job" button at the bottom of the screen

  • Choose a job type (optional).

  • Write a title - What needs to be doing?

  • Add the field or fields you would like to add to the job by selecting the field name from the list or by choosing the field on the map. You can choose to add as many field as you need.

  • Here you have the option to manually enter a work area for each field so that inputs required can be calculated accurately. To edit the work area tap the three dots next to the area.

When you add an input to a field job then you can calculate total amount based on area and rates. This information will be added to reporting. You can select the input you want to use from your input list.
