"Operational Instance" (if present)
In many cases, an operation is only performed once in a
field for a crop type in a growing season: plowing, seed-
ing, harvesting, etc. However, there are circumstances
where the same operation needs to be performed more
than once in a growing season for a crop type. The "Oper-
ational Instance" window is available to separate the data
that is collected for the first operation from any repeated
operations.
For example:
• When heavy rains flood areas of a field, and a crop
type must be replanted, increment the value in the "Op-
erational Instance" window to "Plant 2" for the second
planting. The coverage data from the first planting does
not effect the second planting in section or overlap con-
trol, and the total applied acreage does not conflict with
the total field acres.
• It may be necessary to apply herbicide multiple times
to control invasive weeds. The same product is ap-
plied to the same crop type in the same field on two or
more separate occasions. Use a different operational
instance for each application of herbicide. In this way,
the coverage data from the first application does not af-
fect the second application in section or overlap control,
and the total applied acreage does not conflict with the
total field acres.
Unique data – coverage, "as applied," or performance –
is stored for each instance of the operation. When a new
instance is created or selected with the window, data col-
lection begins for the new instance, and a new task is cre-
ated.
A new operational instance can only be created or se-
lected when the vehicle is not working – that is, no data is
being collected.
Press the "Operational Instance" window to access the
pop-up options window.
