A field consists of one or more outer boundaries. Each outer boundary can contain one or more inner
boundaries used to define any combination of roadways, waterways, building sites, or bodies of water. If
the display will be used for multiple Growers, enter each Grower business name and associate the field
names with the correct grower when the fields are setup within the system.
In the Field Tab, select a Grower underneath the drop-down
menu at the top. Each farm of that particular grower is shown
in a list, with the fields within that farm as subcomponents
within that list.
• Press the Add (plus sign) button to add a Field.
• Press the Delete (minus sign) button to delete a Field.
• You may edit an existing name of a Field by highlighting that
name and pressing the on-screen keyboard.

Information screen opens, showing the name of that field in the Title Bar.
