3/13/2020 Feature / Hot-fix Release

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.

Core Boundary mapping features being released:

  • Boundary presence indicator in the lands list 
  • Add a new boundary for an existing land (ability to create new lands is not there yet but will be coming soon)
    • By drawing on the map
    • By uploading shape files
    • By specifying a buffer from the management boundary (for operation boundaries only)
  • Edit existing management or operational boundaries
  • Versioning of management boundaries (don’t need to specify a new name every time you make edits to a management boundary)
  • Allow users to keep their operation boundaries if they so choose when they make changes to their existing management boundaries.
  • Multiple operation boundaries can be created
  • Changes to the names and description of a boundary can be made anytime without creating a new version.
  • Multiple shapes per boundary allowed.
  • Inclusions and Exclusions can be drawn for the boundary.
  • Ability to map boundaries on iPad like 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.
  • Ability to create new lands in Next is not available yet. It will be coming soon.

Notes:

  • Classic will continue to have this functionality in parallel for a little while. It will eventually be retired. Tentatively in fall 2020.
  • iOS Classic App will continue with the boundary mapping functionality that uses a walk/drive feature to map the boundary using the device’s GPS. That feature has not been ported to Next.
