- Adjustment Name – Name the adjustment value when working with field operations data. An example of an adjustment for Corn is Moisture. This is used when importing yield data into the Mapping module.
- Target Adjustment Value – Use this value to adjust the numbers. An example for a moisture adjustment to corn would have a value of 15 or 15.5 for the adjustment. This is used when importing yield data into the Mapping module.
- Crop Zone Style – Double-click to select the color to represent the crop zone in Mapping.
- External Id – This is used for linking crops to an external database, such as through the API.
