Quick Start Guide

Everything you'll do most, in one page. Keep it handy.

1Get your fields on the map

First time in, you'll see three choices on the Map tab:

Add fields any time later: Settings → Manage → Data Import for shapefiles, or Settings → Manage → Manage Fields → Draw on Map.

2Add & pin your locations

Locations are your wells, pumps, gates, shops — anything with a spot on the farm.

  1. Open the Assets tab and add a location (name, type, details). You can also bulk-manage them in Settings → Manage → Manage Locations.
  2. Open the location and tap Place on Map — the app jumps to the map.
  3. Tap the exact spot. Done — it's now a dot on your farm.
Tip: customize your location types (well, pump, riser, gate…) in Settings → Setup → Location Types. Each location also has a QR sticker option so anyone who scans it at the pump can see and log work.

3Add with a photo — the AI shortcut

The fastest way to build out your equipment and locations: take a picture and tell the AI what it is.

  1. Open the AI tab and attach a photo — the new tractor, a fuel tank, a grain bin, the shop.
  2. Say what to do with it: "add this to equipment" or "this is our new fuel tank by the shop."
  3. The AI reads what it can off the photo — year, make, model, category — creates the item, and attaches your photo to it. Check the Assets tab and it's there.
No photo needed either. Just tell it: "add a 30,000 bushel GSI bin called North 3" or "new well named Bond 2, Entergy meter #12345." It fills in the details. It can also bulk-import from a spreadsheet — or a photo of a handwritten list.

4Markers — the small stuff

Markers are for the little things you just want to see on the map — risers, culverts, gate valves, hydrants. They're much smaller dots than locations, and they don't carry to-dos, logs, or details. Think of them as pins on a paper map.

  1. Go to Settings → Setup → Map Markers and tap + Add Type — name it (say, "Culverts") and pick a color.
  2. Tap Place on that type — the app jumps to the map.
  3. Tap everywhere one belongs. Drop as many as you want, then you're done.
Location or marker? If you'll ever log work on it, assign a to-do to it, or track its history — make it a location. If you just need to remember where it is — a marker is faster and keeps the map clean.

5To-dos

Three ways to make one, depending on where you are:

Tip: tap any to-do dot on the map to see the task, navigate to it, or mark it done on the spot.

6Highlight & share a field plan

Plans are for "here's what I need done where" — plug these fields, water those, spray this side.

  1. Tap the brush button on the right side of the map and pick a color.
  2. Tap fields to highlight them. Use different colors for different jobs. The card tallies fields and acres per color as you go.
  3. Tap Share — give it a title and label what each color means ("Plug these", "Start water"). Your phone's share sheet opens; text it to whoever's doing the work.

The recipient gets a read-only live map — your highlighted fields, wells, and markers — no app or login needed. Links stay live until you delete them. Prefer to keep it to yourself? Save instead: the plan lands in the To-Do tab's Plans list and you can share it later.

Sharing also saves. Every shared plan is automatically in your Plans list — nothing to lose.

7Track water

  1. On the map, tap a field — it highlights and a card pops up.
  2. In the card's Water section, start the well on that field (or use quick water if there's no well tied to it).
  3. Stop it the same way when you shut off. Hours are tracked automatically.

Running wells pulse live on the map, and your hours land on the Dash tab and in Reports — by field, by well, by round.

8Share locations or to-dos

For sending someone to specific spots — check these three risers, fix this pump:

  1. Tap the select button (checkbox icon) in the map's right-side button stack.
  2. Tap the dots and to-dos you want to send.
  3. Tap Share — add a title, a note, and who it's for, then send the link.

The recipient sees just those dots on a read-only map, can navigate to each one, and can mark the to-dos done — you'll see the checkmarks come back on your end.

Every link you've ever sent lives in Dash → Shared Links. Each card shows:
