Viewing trouble spots

Platform: Mobile and portal

Once trouble spots are reported, you'll want to see them — to decide what to work on next, to check what was found on a walk, or to review what's outstanding for a site.

On the mobile app

Trouble spots live on the Maps tab (the home screen). They show up as markers on top of the vineyard map, each one shaped and coloured by its category, with the type's short code in the middle — so you can read the map at a glance ("the red diamonds are disease, the blue circles are irrigation").

When you're zoomed out, nearby spots are grouped into a single cluster marker to keep the map readable; zoom in past street level and the individual spots split back out so you can pick one.

Opening a spot

Tap a marker to open its detail card at the bottom of the screen. The card leads with the two facts you need in the field — the type and the row — shown together at the top, with the vineyard and block on a smaller line underneath.

The card also shows:

• Who reported it and how long ago.
• How far away it is from your current position (e.g. "120 m away").
• Any photos attached, as a thumbnail strip you can tap to view full-screen.
• The latest note, if one was added.

If a spot was logged while you were offline, it's tagged Saved locally until it syncs.

From the card you can press and hold Hold to complete to mark the spot done, or tap Edit to change its details. See Completing trouble spots for more on the completion gesture.

In the portal

In the portal, open Trouble Spots from the main menu. You get a table view of every trouble spot across your organisation. The header shows live counts — for example, "24 pending · 58 complete" — that update as you apply filters.

Filtering

Use the filter row at the top to narrow the list. You can filter by:

• Category — for example, disease, irrigation, infrastructure.
• Type — the specific issue, such as powdery mildew or a leaking dripper.
• Vineyards — one or more vineyards.
• Block — one or more blocks.
• Date — a From / To reported-date range.

Pending and completed spots are kept in two separate tables (Pending Trouble Spots and Completed Trouble Spots), so there's no status filter — you just look at the table you want.

The Summary card

When you filter down to a single type, a Trouble Spot Summary card appears above the tables. It gives you a per-block breakdown for that one type — pending and complete counts for each block — which is handy for seeing where an issue is concentrated.

Viewing a spot's detail

Click any row to open the detail modal. It shows the spot's metadata (vineyard, block, row, when it was reported and by whom, and the completed date if it's done), every photo, and any notes. Tap a photo to open it full-screen in the photo viewer, where you can step between images.

Exporting

Use the Export button (top right) to take the current view away with you:

• CSV — the pending trouble spots in the current filter, as a spreadsheet.
• PDF — a summary report for a single type. Select exactly one type first; the PDF gives you the per-block breakdown from the Summary card.

Tips

• On mobile, zoom in to split a cluster. If a marker shows a count rather than a single shape, it's a cluster — zoom in past street level to see the individual spots.
• In the portal, filter to one type before exporting a PDF. The PDF is a single-type summary, so the option only enables once exactly one type is selected.
• Use the per-block Summary when you're looking for patterns — for example, is all the powdery mildew in one block, or spread across the whole site?
