User Feedback for SoilStack area drawing tool
Notes from Wolfe's Neck users
Overall, the field drawing tool was very easy to navigate and is great to be able to give users the power to enter their fields. I thought of a few things as I was going through the process that I want to share:
- Could the acreage be provided for each field? This would allow me to cross reference our existing field drawings to improve accuracy.
- After I entered each field, I found myself needing to go back and tweak the boundaries to better align with their bordering fields. One way to prevent this additional step could be to enable users to see previously entered fields as they enter new fields. As it currently is, users must navigate back to the ‘Fields’ tab to see all fields, then go in and edit each individual field, then repeat this back and forth until the field is to their liking.
- We chose fields based on their varied management styles (rotating chickens, future seeding plans, haying, etc.). It could be helpful to have a Notes section for each field to include this type of additional information/context.
Note As we think about deploying our own database, we should think about how we could add a producer level in the data structure so we could show all of the fields from a producer on the map when drawing fields
