Creating a vineyard

Platform: Portal

A vineyard represents a single physical site. You need at least one vineyard before you can start mapping blocks or recording trouble spots against a site.

Before you start

• You need to be signed in to the portal with permission to manage vineyards in your organisation.
• Have the vineyard's basic details ready (name, location, any reference info you want to record).

Steps

1. In the portal, open the Manage menu and choose Vineyards.

2. Click Add vineyard.

3. Enter the vineyard's details:

   • Name — how it will appear in the app and portal. Pick something recognisable, especially if you manage several sites.
   • Sub region — pick the sub region this vineyard sits in from the dropdown. The list is configured at the platform level and is used for grouping and reporting across vineyards.
   • Primary weather station — optional. Select the weather station that best represents conditions at this vineyard. Only stations configured for your organisation appear in the list.
   • Secondary weather station — optional. A fallback station, used when the primary isn't reporting.

4. Click Submit.

The vineyard now appears in the vineyards list and is available on mobile devices once they next sync.

What's next

• Map a block inside your new vineyard using the mobile app.
• Set up any field features you want to record on the site.

Tips

• You can't delete a vineyard that has blocks or recorded data against it. Think carefully about naming before you create one — renaming later is easier than starting over.
• Field devices only see vineyards in the organisations (management groups) they're signed in to. If a user says "I can't see the new vineyard on my phone", check that they're in the right management group and have synced.
