How to Draw and Create a Field

Fields can be drawn on both the web and mobile app, although we recommend drawing them on web since it’s easier with a bigger screen and a mouse.

We also recommend drawing a field before sensor installation to create a smoother process.

Important Notes:

If a sensor is installed in a location that is not inside a field boundary, you will see it labeled as an Unassigned sensor and you will not be able to add field data or use CropX insights and features such as satellite data, GDD, irrigation prescriptions and more. 

Once you draw a field around the unassigned sensor, the sensor will link to the new field. Add the field to a new or existing Farm.

Remember that most features within a field can be modified – the crop, soil type, irrigation type, farm it is under, or even the users it’s shared with. If you’d like to modify the boundaries or delete the field, check out this article.
