LAND UNITS HIERARCHY AND TERMINOLOGY
Picture 1: Hierarchy scheeme of farms´ land units (obligatory entries are marked)
| FIELDS |
field/land surface as a complete unit for crop production; usually defined within one land use property ( field, vineyard, orchard, meadow, ..) |
| CULTIVATION AREA |
|
| GROUPS OF CULTIVATION AREA |
|
 |
Crop farming tasks are associated with subdivisions, not whole parcels. That is why each parcel must have subdivisions set up, even if it is only one. In that case, set its share to 100%. |
Currently, parcel data has to be entered manually; later, you will be able to import data from the Registry of Agricultural Holdings. Properly filled in data about parcels makes record-keeping and reporting easier.
Parcel Information
| Parcel ID |
Unique ID number of the parcel. |
| Common Name |
You can enter a familiar name of the parcel. |

| Latitude and Longitude |
Specify the geographic coordinates of the centroid of parcel. |
| Area (ha) |
Specify the size of the parcel in hectares. |
| Graphic |

Draw Graphic of the Parcel
Graphic/Shape of the parcel is only one of the optional attributes of the parcel. With Draw button it is possible to draw a simple shape of the parcel. We can draw a polygon, polygon with holes, multipolygon or multipolygon with holes:
Procedure to draw a shape of parcel:
1. Click on Draw button (Map Viewer opens)
2. Zoom to appropriate place:
- use a mouse/scroll wheel to zoom in and out and
- use right mouse click and hold to pan around the map or
- use toolbars commands (Zoom, Drag) and after that Select to activate drawing again
3. Begin drawing with clicking on the map
4. If you want you can change coordinates of vertices in Info tab of the Map Management. All coordinates are in EPSG:3857 coordinate system.
5. To draw a hole or multipolygon you have to right click on the polygon and select Add Part command
and continue to draw a hole or another part of polygon:
6. After ending drawing select Finish to stop drawing and to continue entering others attribues of the field.
Hints: there are other options within drawing session:
a) drag and drop existing vertex from one to another position
b) Change part (right click on vertex on selected part to activate it and start to change it)
c) Remove Part (active part will be removed)
d) Remove Vertex (remove vertex of activated part)
e) Relative Move (move entire shape to another position)
f) Abs Move (move entire shape to exact postion)
g) use of Undo/Redo possibilities and
h) Erase entire shape in wizzard section:
Edit Graphic of the Parcel
With Edit button it is possible to edit a simple shape of the existing parcel. All commands and procedures are the same as by drawing (Draw command) a new shape. After clicking Edit button it's possible e.g. to erase entire shape, change some vertices with drag and drop or changing coordinates in Info tab of Map Management window, add parts (holes or separate multipolygons). etc.

Note:
- in order to integrate planning concept some changes of Fields mask needs to be applied. From Release 600 ( 4.4.2017) a display of Cultivation area is added; further improvement and changes still needed.
Content of tabs Fields Details, Field usage, Cad. parcels on field and Users stays the same, only relocation was made.
Clicking on CA details and information of CA displays and bellow a time-line of selected CA is displayed.
| No. |
automatically entered number of CA |
| ID CA |
automatically entered CA ID as Field ID_iterative |
| CA Name |
automatically entered CA name as a CA_ Field ID_iterative; could be changed manually |
| Area (ha) |
automatically entered fields area (by entering new Field automatically first CA is created with 100% of Fields area; could be changed manually. |
| Valid from |
automatically entered day of creating CA; could be changed manually |
| Valid to |
automatically entered end date of validation of CA; could be changed manually |
| Active |
(currently important for production cycles menu) |
|
Valid from and valid to value depends on type of entering of Fields and type of importing of Fields:
a) manually entering of field: Valid from= entering date; Valid to= 1.1.2099
b) import from excel: Valid from= excel value (if empty it is today date); Valid to= excel value ( if empty it is 1.1.2100)
Currently Fields Valid to- valid from is not connected to CA Valid from- Valid to.
