This document addresses frequently asked questions regarding FieldView™ and Vaderstad iCon compatibility

General FAQs:

How is the Vaderstad iCon control system compatible with FieldView?

    • The Vaderstad iCon control system is Data Inbox compatible with FieldView. Data can be exported from the Seed Hawk Cloud System and imported into FieldView by logging into your Climate FieldView account and selecting Import.

    Can a FieldView Drive be used to collect data from a Vaderstad iCon System?

      • No, the Vaderstad iCon system is not FieldView Drive compatible. To bring data into FieldView, it will need to be Data Inboxed from the Seed Hawk Cloud system.

      What data layers come into FieldView from the iCon Control System?

        • All planting, fertility, and application data layers come into FieldView. Fertility applied at the time of seeding will appear under "applications" when viewing map layers.

        Is a USB needed to transfer data from the iCon system to FieldView?

          • No, on the desktop version of Seed Hawk Cloud the data will be exported/downloaded to the computer and then can be uploaded to Climate FieldView via Data Inbox.

          Can my Seed Hawk Cloud account be connected to my Climate FieldView account to transfer data via the cloud?

            • No - this is not an API connection, this is an export and import process via the Data Inbox.

            Can files be bulk exported out of Seed Hawk Cloud and uploaded to Climate FieldView?

              • Not at this time. Individual files can be selected for export. Files can be zipped together to bulk upload to FieldView or they can be uploaded individually.

              Who can help if the data does not come into the Data Inbox correctly?

                • If the data does not come into FieldView's Data Inbox correctly or the map layers are not visually correct, reach out to the FieldView Support Team at 1-888-924-7475 or support@climate.com.

                What if I cannot see all my data that I want to bring into FieldView in my Seed Hawk Cloud account?

                  • In the case that data is not available in your Seed Hawk Cloud account, reach out to your Vaderstad representative for further assistance.

                  What file type do I need to download from Seed Hawk Cloud?
