Users often need to export data entered into CropManage. Perhaps the irrigation or soil data for a planting is needed for another software application or to email to someone. One can export data for a ranch by selecting the export option below the list of plantings (button next to the arrow in Fig. 1). If this button does not appear below the list of plantings, then the “ranch owner,” the person in charge of the ranch, has not set the permissions for the user to export data.
Figure 1. Select “Export Data” to view data export options.
Figure 2. Choose the data option for exporting all ranch data to an excel workbook.
Assuming that one has permission to export data, select the “Export Data” button and the options to export “ranch and planting data” or “ranch, planting, and raw data” will be displayed (Fig. 2). Selecting either option will download the ranch data and all the data in the planting tables (soil, fertilizer, water) into excel worksheet files (Fig. 3).
Figure 3. Data from a ranch are exported to a zip file with separate excel spreadsheet files for each planting.
Selecting the option with “raw data” will also download the daily data used in the decision support calculations for each planting. Usually one would not select this second option unless interested to view the calculations behind CropManage recommendations. Note that each planting has a separate excel file entitled “Events for name of planting”. Each planting file has tables summarizing soil, fertilizer, and irrigation information displayed in CropManage (Fig. 4). The ranch data (list of fields, soil type, well data, etc) is downloaded to a separate file entitled “ranch .”
