Creating Expert Model (EM)
We have two options for creating EM`s: manually and automatically (by importing from Web Service).
1. Manually
Process of creating EM decribed in Navigator.
In this case, we have to enter the name of EM to Codebooks for Item. The name of EM is usually the same as the name of the Product.
When creating new EM it is important that on Item are already set following:
- ID
- Name
- Primary Category (Primary category points within which module (CROP, FRUI&NUTS, GRAPES, GRASS) expert model will be seen)
- Secondary Category
- Item type
- VAT
- Primary U/M
 |
Expert model is always for an Item.
a) In order to create new EM, new Item should be added
b) EM could be determined for agriculture species (BARLEY, CORN, ..) or agriculture variety (BARLEY "REX", CORN "FANTASTIC", ..) or additional agriculture variety clones or hybrids (CORN "FANTASTIC var. 145"). The level of expert model specification is an individual farmer decision due to his evaluation how specified further analysis he needs. Naming of EM is also individual decision. A proposal is that the Name of EM indicates last naming within plant hierarchy: Species - variety- clones which are important for producers.

When all important data for the Item are defined, creation of Expert model version can start by Selecting particular Item ( Navigator )
When we create EM manually we have to enter all data manually or we can use button Wizard 
and create new EM by copying EM from other Product. How it works, we can read in user manual for Navigator.

| Harvesting to |
Enter estimated ending date within season for last planned task - (harvest) |
| Expected yield from |
Enter minimal expected yield in unit per hectare |
| Expected yield to |
Enter maximal expected yield in unit per hectare |
| Expected middle value |
Enter middle expected yield in unit per hectare |
| U/M |
Automatically displayed unit of measure as set in Items |
| Catch Crop |
Check, if crop for EM version is Main crop or Catch crop |
For each EM version a state could be determined: default state is A (as Active). In case state C (Closed) is selected, such EM version will not be seen in drop-down for selection of EM (within Plan or Work order from).
2. Automatically through importing EM`s
In Farming we also have functionality which allows us to import EM`s from Web service into the database. The function can be activated in Administration panel - Settings - Farming - Agronomy - Expert model - Import Expert model. In this case, EM`s in module Expert Models are created automatically.
Red colored EM versions, are expert model versions which were imported through Web service (Administration panel - Settings/Program parameter - Farming - Agronomy - Expert models - Expert models (tab). Red colored expert model version is always version = 0 and locked for editing. All tasks and resources which are determined within expert model imported through web service are displayed. By clicking on Copy button a copy of red colored expert models version display as a version 1. Version 1 could be changed and adjusted according to individual concrete requirements
There is option to copy and duplicate versions of expert models. How it works, can read in user manual for Navigator.
DEVELPMNENT NOTE:
- whole importing process of Expert model need to be up-dated according to released planning concept; meaning that expert model xls templates by localications needs to be prepared ( Stated, April 2018).
Mendatory inputs on mask for Expert Model are:
- Version Name
- Begining From
- Begining To
- Harvesting To
- Expected middle value
- Task
- Task Date
- Needed time (h/ha)
