- Create Installed Tile Data
- Allows the user to create an Installed Tile dataset from an existing Tile Plan dataset. No settings are required. This is useful when a plan was made but the installed data wasn't collected or was lost. The Installed Tile dataste can then be exported back out to the display as a reference layer.

- Crop Plans
- Crop plans can be created in the software to help you track and plan your crop production cycle, spatially. Crop plans can be created for each of your crop production operations and their unique products. By default the system has a number of predefined crop plan types, such as for Planting, Spraying, and Fertilizing. Additional custom Crop Plan types can also be created as new operations and you can assign your own attributes to define a custom crop plan. Default Crop Plans can also be customized. Crop plan datasets are polygon based only, and by default are created from your frozen/traced field boundary but can be edited if desired.
- Crop Plan Editor
- As-Applied and Split Planter Data
- Because many system cannot log multiple products or rates and sometimes just log coverage there is a need to properly document what actually was applied in the field. The Create As-Applied tool allows you to take data that was not logged as split planter or multi-product/rate data, but was applied as such, and create new data that represents teh real applications that occurred. The tool works on any As-applied or Site Verification data. In the case of Planting and Seeding data it allows you to properly define the section swath widths and the product and/or rates that were not logged. For Site Verification, it allows you to define rates and section swath widths to create application rate data even though it wasn't logged as such. The Create As-Applied tool can be run on selected datasets from the Management Tree or via a batch command function.

- Boundary Data
- Generic Data
- Generic Data can be created based on a map and its layers. Objects such a polygons, points, and lines can be created in the generic editor. Attributes can be added to or created for a generic dataset, thus allowing full customization of the data that can be entered for generic data that is created. Generic data can also be edited or exported in many of the available export formats. Using the generic editor you can create Tile Line maps, landmark feature maps such as bin locations and equipment storage buildings, etc.

- Editing Data
- Properties
- Property data added by the user can be edited or removed from a management item or dataset at any time by selecting the management item or dataset to edit in the Management Tree, right clicking and selecting Edit Item, and then Additional Properties.

- Spatial Files
- ASCII Text Files
- Non-spatial ASCII text files can be imported into the system and linked to spatial datasets that have already been read into or created in the system. The most common example of non-spatial data that you would want to import is soil sample lab results. Weather data might also be another example of data that doesn't have spatial references with it but that you want to link to spatial datasets that you have such as a field area.
