Boundary Mapping Feature Release
Improvements to the Boundary Mapping feature in Next:
- Boundary indicator in the lands list lets you quickly identify which ones are not mapped.
- Improved workflow to edit an existing boundary or adding a new boundary compared to classic.
- Map centric UI for boundary editing – functionality is centered around the main Fields screen as the hub and menus and actions for boundary editing show up on the same screen. Reduced navigation needed.
- Two ways to start boundary editing – First by selecting a boundary on the map and clicking Edit from the popup or by selecting a land in the lands list panel and clicking Edit on the quick info popup.
- Able to see surrounding boundaries while editing boundaries of a land
- Ability to see map notes layer on the map while editing boundaries
- Faster navigation to, load, view, edit and save boundaries compared to classic
- No need to rename the management boundary every time a change is made. AgVerdict automatically versions it for you.
- Ability to create operation boundaries by specifying a buffer distance.
- Improved tools for drawing boundaries. Circle allows adjusting the radius and also allows users to drag and reposition the circle on the centre correctly.
- Option available for the user to keep their existing operation boundaries after making a change to the management boundary.
- Ability to map boundaries on iPad in addition to the web.

Features in classic for boundaries web app that are not yet in Next:
- Ability to Split a field and create multiple blocks boundaries and then create blocks from there itself.

Notes:
- Classic will continue to have this functionality in parallel for a little while. It will eventually be retired. Tentatively in fall 2020.
