Začetek s programom PANTHEON Farming

After the installation and before we start using PANTHEON Farming we need to insert some additional settings and information. These information are a prerequisite to use software:

• Information about farm in agriculture holding.
• Items that we will be working with (breeds, crops, tasks, materials...) in items.
• Animal locations and groups in holdings (for animal breeders).
• Fields with crop areas in fields.
• Cadastral parcels with its details in cadastral parcels.
• Barrels in cellars for wine producers.
• Barrels in cellars for oil producers.

For some countries information can be imported from state registries. This is the case for Slovenia, where user can import information about farm, holdings and fields from eRKG.

We can also insert some additional information and settings. These information are not prerequisite to use software but offer additional level of customization to our needs:

• Setting own logo to reports and invoices.
• Change created document types for different processes.
• Add additional workers.
• Add additional users.
• Set authorizations for each user.

Farm information

In agriculture holding we have to insert information about our farm. Each database contains information about only one farm which means that each farm must have its own database. If one farm has multiple dislocated units, he can insert them in holdings, but all documents will be issued to original farm.

Breeds, crops, materials, tasks...

All of these categories are inserted in one place in items. To be able to filter items in individual functionality (e.g. breeds are not visible in crops) software uses different type of settings which we hate to set. This link will describe how to correctly set individual item.

To simplify data entry, some of the items can be imported from web service.

Holdings

Each farm can have one or more holdings. Holdings are treated as dislocated units with own ID and location (different address). One holding can be the same as agricultural holding (farm). We can set this by selecting Farm is also a holding on agriculture holding settings. This function will create holding with same data as agriculture holding.

To add new animals on our location we first need to insert groups to holdings. Animals are not added directly to holdings, but to groups. Groups can be treated as barns, boxes in barns, batteries for egg producers, etc. One holding can have multiple groups, but one group can't be in multiple holdings. Level of distribution depends on our wishes. Deeper level of distribution we will have, more detailed analysis and reporting we will get but we will also have some more work with data recording. 

Fields

Fields have to be inserted for crop, fruit and grape producers, to produce grass or for grazing. Each field has some detailed information, some required by different states or to use as filters. Most important setting is land use. This information will filter our fields through different modules (filed inserted as orchard won't be visible in crop production.

Similar as in holdings fields are also divided on smaller units. In PANTHEON Farming fields are divided on crop areas. One field can have multiple crop areas but one crop area can't be on multiple fields.

Fields and crop areas are also connected with map viewer. This enables us to view fields on map. To be able to use map viewer, each field must have information about graphics that can be added in different ways:

• Drawn individually for each field.
• Imported from state registry (eRKG in Slovenia).
• Imported from Excel.
• Imported from .shp file.

Cadastral parcels

Cellars and barrels

Ob vstopu v program se odpre koledar, v katerem so zabeleženi vsi dogodki, ki se bodo odvijali v prihodnjih dneh. Koledar je namenjen pregledu dogodkov: uporaniku ni trebe preverjati vsake živali posebej, saj so v koledarju prikazani predvideni datumi osemenitev, telitev in podobno. S klikom na dogodek v koledarju se odpre kartica živali, kjer si lahko ogledamo podrobnosti. Poleg dogodkov, ki se v koledarju vpisujejo samodejno, lahko vpišemo tudi druga svoja opravila, sestanke ipd.
