Export Rx File Window Options Explained

  • Include projection (prj) file: This selection can be used in cases where a projection file is necessary to be included with the shapefile for the controller.
  • Make Viper Compatible Combined Shapefile: Optional for Viper Monitors, this will structure the files that the viper monitor prefers.
  • Exclude Folder Structure from Shapefile: The default file structure contains folders. Selecting this would exclude folders from the export format.
  • Include Rx PDF: Clicking this option causes the export to come with the Rx Summary PDF.
  • Email Results: Clicking this option causes the export to arrive by email, to the same email address as is the user name logged in at time of generation. Additionally, clicking this option reveals the "Additional Email(s)" input field. Inputting additional email addresses into the Additional Emails input field causes a copy of the export to arrive at each email address specified.
  • Assign to Asset: Clicking the check box of this option causes the window to open a profile tree for assets in the system. Expand the tree and select the needed asset. The file will be sent to the asset (if the asset has a file transfer service set up in the FieldAlytics system) upon export. See image below.

If that option is not checked, the recommendation will save as a single file under the Farm within Main tab profile tree. If the recommendation is made for one field only, it will save under the specific field it was created for, within the Main tab.

  • Clicking "Rx Alert" (if it appears) causes an informational window to open that details any Rx Alert conditions that were triggered by the Fertility Analysis request.

Shapefile Resolution Options

Users working within the Fertility Module will now have enhanced resolution output options while working with their Shapefile format files. Two additional resolutions will be available to the client to provide greater output control for conditions and situations where the known field controller will allow for it.
Specific to the "Shapefile" format and any of the Shapefile sub-options, the users will now be able to select between 15 meter (Default), 6 meter or 3 meter file resolution. The new 6 and 3 meter options will produce an outcome that have a greater density of grids over the selected field Rx. This will produce a greater file size and larger DBF file as well to support the greater resolution request.
Getting Started
From the Fertility Module, select your desired Rx event type (Fertilizer, Seed, Manual, etc.) and then proceed with filling out all required setup items. Run the Rx event and preview the interpolated output map. If satisfied, select the action option for "Export File". For any of the listed shapefile options, a new "Resolution" selection feature will be included with the "Rx Export" modal display. The system will default automatically to the 15 meter option. This is the standard for all other formats.
