Additional Harvesting Tips:

 

  1. Unknown Hybrids: Prevention & Resolution
    • Cause: Unknown hybrids appear when planting data is missing or planting maps haven't been built in the FieldView™ Cab app.
    • Fix: 
      • Go to Settings > Data > Select Year > Rebuild Map or Rebuild All Maps
      • Use the Fix Data tool on FieldView.com (Data > Fix) to correct hybrid names before harvest.
  2. Manually Adding Planting Maps
    • Use Add Activity in the FieldView™ Cab app:
      • Navigate to Settings > Add Field Data > Add Activity
      • Enter field details, equipment, planting population, hybrid(s), and planting date
      • Tap Add to finalize
    • Note: Internet connection is required for this action
  3. Custom Harvesting Workflow
    • Share field files with customer harvesters using Send to Account:
      • Go to Settings (in the FieldView™ Cab app) > Data > Select Year > Send Data
      • Enter recipient's FieldView email and select fields
      • Files will appear in their Data Inbox
  4. Calibration Best Practices
    • For FieldView Drive users:
      • Calibrate at the beginning or end of a field, ideally after headlands
      • Save 4-5 passes in a consistent yield environment for accurate calibration
  5. Data Sync & Offload Checks
    • Ensure Offload Status is 100% before analysis
    • Use CloudSync Log to confirm successful syncs
    • These steps help avoid incomplete maps across FieldView platforms
