Rx Export Window Options Explained

  • Include projection (prj) file: Selecting this box will include a .prj with the shapefile export. This file can be a requirement for the application to be accepted by the monitor.
  • Make Viper Compatible Combined Shapefile: Selecting this option will place an "Rxmaps" folder in-between the zipped file that is downloaded and the shapefile components (.dbf .shx .shp).
  • Exclude Folder Structure from Shapefile: The downloaded zipped file will hold the shapefile components. No additional folders are generated.
  • Email Results: Selecting this option causes any reports or controller files created upon export to be delivered by email instead of live delivery.
  • 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.

  • Include Zone Summary: Selecting this option will include a .pdf report of the management zone layer with its data columns.
  • Limit to Summary Details: Selecting this option causes the zone summary to come only with totals from the zone summary table.
  • Display Yield Potentials for Normal SSURGO: Selecting this option for management zones created with SSURGO yield potential layers, causes the resulting zone summary to come with yield potential table values.
  • Send to Climate FieldView: This checkbox is only available for fields connected to FieldView. Selecting this option will deliver the management zone layer to the Climate data inbox.
