Report Prefs

The Report Prefs Administrative Tool may be used by Administrative user accounts to set certain report defaults to Rx Summary reports and Master Soil Books. The "Report Element Prefs" allows users to define which elements will be presented within the Rx Summary reports, given they are available within the field sample layer for the selected field(s). "MSB Report Prefs" allows users to define what order the MSB pages are presented in, as well as defining which order elements and fertilizer maps are presented in by default when running Master Soil Books.

Please Note: Default element selections are modified within Tools > Location Pref on the Master Soil Book tab. The Administrative Report Prefs tool is simply used to order the element pages within the Master Soil Book.

MSB Report Pref Options Explained

  • Reset All Prefs: Clicking this button causes the window to discard any custom ordering setups in preference for the default system ordering.
  • Fertilizer Maps/Elemental Maps Check Boxes: The check boxes displayed within the Report Prefs tool are not selectable within the Tool itself, but instead indicate Fertilizer map, or Elemental map pages that were selected as default Master Soil Book page options.
