Tools for working with fields and tasks

For a more user-friendly and efficient EOSDA Crop Monitoring experience, you need to know more about the following interface tools:

• Filter
• classification
• search for
• field map

These simple tools will save you a lot of time!

Filter

Filters are customizable search criteria. Your exploration fields or tasks (switch to the Exploration tab) can easily be filteredculture namesjgroup names. Simply check/uncheck the appropriate box and click on itUSE.

classification

Use the sort option on the right to sort your review fields or tasks (switch to Review tab). The following sort orders are currently available: newest, oldest, by field name: ascending/descending, or field range: smallest to largest/largest to smallest.

field research

In order not to waste time scrolling through the list of existing fields or tasks (go to the Scouting tab), you can easily find a specific field via thefield researchoption by typing the field name in it.

field map

field mapis a profile of a specific field, showing the most basic data:

- Feldname

– square (measured in ha)

– Group (displayed when the field has been added to a group)

– Culture (Culture currently growing in this area)

– City (district and country)

Find Field button.

Isresearch fieldThe button allows you to instantly enlarge a field on the map.

By default they are onAt sightTab where you can switch between different levels: My Plants, Vegetation, Water Stress, Vegetation Index and Plant Ranking.

pressing theresearch fieldbutton allows you to preview the field on any of these layers.

You can view multiple adjacent fields within your AOI (area of ​​interest) at once without having to open your field maps individually. This way you can quickly understand what is happening on your fields in this area. For example, if you want to see the water stress values ​​for these fields, click the buttonresearch fieldicon on the field map.

The tool also helps you quickly return to the field and zoom in on the map.

For example, if you have the field map open, zoomed out, or scrolled, just press the buttonresearch fieldto enlarge the field again.

Working with cut card

find location

To get started with EOSDA Crop Monitoring, you need to find themLocationFirst. Please choose one of the options:

1.Use the search box

Enter the geographical name of an object in the search field.

2. use coordinates

Enter the coordinates of an object in the search field, longitude first, latitude last.

Note: For lengthssouth of the equator, put a "-" (minus) in front of the number. Also for latitudeswest of the Greenwich meridian, put a "-" (minus) in front of the number.

zoom tool

Zooming in ("+") and zooming out ("-") is used for easier navigation (the same functionality is possible with the mouse wheel).

Distance and area measurements

Ismeasure the distanceThe tool (left sidebar) is used to calculate the total area of ​​a field or to measure the distance between objects. Summarize your field or measure the distance to see the result at the bottom of the screen.

shared view

Isshared viewThis feature allows you to compare the vegetation indices of the selected field for different dates. This provides the ability to track the dynamics of changing status of crops over time based on the values ​​of 5 different vegetation indices to identify problems and effectively plan field activities.

First, select the field to analyze from the Fields list and click the buttonshared viewicon in the menu on the left.

Your screen will be split into two equal parts.

You can now select rates and dates to compare dates. To do this, use individual timelines and the course change panel.

If needed, you can expand the legend to review the selected index values, just like in single view.

Note: By default, NDVI values ​​for the latest available image date are displayed for the selected field.

You can also use the calendar to select the desired picture date, in which the available picture dates are highlighted in white.

If you hover the mouse over any point within the field, the values ​​​​of the indices selected for this point will be displayed on the map on both screens synchronously. This allows you to compare index values ​​for the same point within the field but for different dates.

For example, to see how the vegetation in your field has evolved, select NDVI for both viewers and switch between the dates in the timeline. This allows you to identify areas of the field with more or less uniform vegetation and identify areas that require more attention.

Note: Historical data on vegetation index values ​​goes back 5 years.

It is also possible to monitor how the vegetation status in the field has changed using the values ​​of other available indices, including the NDMI Moisture Index. With the help of this index, you can identify impending water stress and plan irrigation efficiently.

You can also select and compare different indices in each viewer. It is useful for more complex field analysis as one index may not be enough to get a complete picture of the health of your crops. For example, in the early stages of plant development, the presence of bare soil can affect the accuracy of the NDVI. Therefore, it makes sense to compare the NDVI to other vegetation indices for the same field and date.

By comparing different vegetation indices, you can visualize and analyze the current state of plants based on plant species and growth stage.

For example, here you see two different vegetation indices for the same field and date.

You can also download data by clicking the download button next to the index name.

To return to single view mode, click the appropriate icon in the left menu.

Layers: An integrated plant health analysis on one canvas

IsThe lawWith this function you can view and analyze the status of the crops on all your fields at the same time. Simply switch between 5 parameters or layers:My plants, vegetation, water stress, vegetation index and plant classificationin a convenient drop-down menu.

The system will only select images with less than 90% cloudiness that represent all your fields. Cloudy areas are marked with the corresponding mask. To see your fields you need to zoom in and out from the pins to the field outlines.

You can alsoSort data by season and yearUse ofFilterin the menu on the right. With it you have the possibility to analyze the development history of a certain culture in all its fields simultaneously for 5 years in relation to the selected layer. The data obtained will help you to identify problematic fields and make safe decisions as well as plan crop rotations and field activities effectively.

My culture level

The first level in the levels list ismy harvest. When this layer is selected, the fields on the map are sorted by culture. In this way you can get an overview of the distribution of crops on your fields. Each culture has a corresponding color, which is shown in the legend in the lower-right corner of the screen. By default, the map shows the most recently planted crops for all fields.

A special button allows you to select the vintage and the yearFilter.

With an on-screen view of crop rotation over the past 5 years, you can make more informed planting decisions.

vegetation layer

This layer shows the vegetation level on all your fields at once, based on the NDVI vegetation index values. For each field, the system displays the average index value and highlights it with a specific color. Each color corresponds to one of 10 specific ranges of values ​​shown in the legend at the bottom right corner of the screen. By displaying these NDVI strips on the screen, you can comprehensively analyze the vegetation status on all your fields at once, identify problem fields or a group of fields, and effectively plan actions for further follow-up.

If you want to analyze a specific field or group of fields, click Select Group.Use ofFilterin the menu on the right.

When you select a field on the map, you automatically switch to the monitoring view for that field according to the NDVI index values ​​for the selected date.

Note: You can also create a new field group based on vegetation data for different fields.

By default, vegetation data is displayed based on the last available field image.

Note: The images available are the images that have all their fields at once. Cloudy areas are marked with a corresponding mask.

To view a previous image, select the date in the timeline at the bottom of the screen.

Note: Images taken more than a year ago are only available for Pro users.

Note: If a field or group of fields exceeds the field area limit of your subscription plan, those fields will be marked with a Pro icon.

At the vegetation level, you can also use a special filter to select the crop and year. This allows you to simultaneously analyze fields for a specific crop and vegetation. This data will help you to find out the relationship between the vegetation of the field and the crop it is planted with. This allows you to make confident decisions about field activities.

water stress layer

The water stress layer shows moisture levels in plants in all their fields according to NDMI values. For each field, the system displays the average index value and highlights it with a specific color. Each color corresponds to one of 10 specific ranges of values ​​shown in the legend at the bottom right corner of the screen. This allows you to analyze the moisture levels of all your fields at once, identify problem areas (too little or too much moisture) and effectively plan future watering.

Use the filter in the right-hand menu to view moisture readings for a specific field, crop, and year.

When you select a field on the map, you automatically switch to the monitoring view for that field according to the NDMI index values ​​for the selected date.

By default, moisture data is displayed based on the last available field image.

Note: The images available are the images that have all their fields at once. Cloudy areas are marked with a corresponding mask.

Note: Water stress level is only available for Pro users.

vegetation classification layer

The field classification layer is analogous to the field classification table. This layer shows all of its fields according to the average NDVI index value. This allows you to see productivity data for all your fields on one screen.

By default, NDVI average data is displayed based on the latest field image available.

Note: The images available are the images that have all their fields at once. Cloudy areas are marked with a corresponding mask.

You can also select Field, Season and Year by selecting the required options from the right-hand menu.

Note: The vegetation rating level is only available for Pro users.

crop classification layer

The crop ranking layer is only available in Ukraine and shows the locations of all crops across the country based on the ranking map produced by EOSDA. The list of available plants is displayed in the lower right corner of the screen instead of the vegetation index legend.

Note: On the Crop Classification layer, you can only filter fields by season.

You can also add any fields that appear on this layer's map to your field list. To do this, select the desired field on the map and click on it.

give clickadd fieldto add the field to the system.

Note: The culture ranking level is only available for Pro users.

Kontrastsehen

switch betweenStandardjContrastField views on the map by clicking on the corresponding icon in the lower right corner of the map.

If thatKontrastsehenactivated, the icon appears blue.

Standard vs Contrast View: What's the Difference?

default viewIt is best applied when the values ​​of a particular index in the field vary widely and cover most of a standard range of values. For NDVI* it's -1 to 1. On the map you can see smooth transitions of different shades of red, yellow and green** without much or no contrast.

*Default range may vary by index.

**NDMI is represented by different shades of blue.

Kontrastsehen, on the other hand, solves the problem of displaying the low variability of the index values ​​in the field when it is necessary to highlight the differences.

Each shade on the map palette corresponds to the available index value. Indefault view, the small variability in index values ​​will appear as a cluster of several similar tones. To better highlight differences and identify problem areas in the field, you should enable theKontrastsehen. In this case, instead of a cluster of shadows blending together on the map, you see different colors revealing planting issues that you may not have noticed before.

Kontrastsehenapplies to all indices available in our product, including the NDMI moisture index.

At sight

To access satellite imagery of your fields, get weather forecasts and other data, you must first add fields to your account. There are several accessible options:

• Draw field on map
• upload stock
• Bespoke freight (contact us)

start with one click+ADD FIELDis located in the lower right corner of the screen.

A window with available options should appear.

upload stock

This option allows files with pre-drawn field contours to be uploaded to the system. Currently EOSDA Crop Monitoring supports 4 different types of formats:.shp,.kml,.kmz,.geojson.

You can drag and drop or click files onto the web pageadd your fields.

Once the field outlines appear along with those on the mapfield mapData in the right sidebar menu, clickADD TO MY FIELDSto complete the process.

Or you can clickCancel(located directly under theADD TO MY FIELDSbutton) to cancel.

A modal window offers two options:

*Accurate monitoring of vegetation development depends on the accuracy of crop rotation data.

types of errors

The .prj file responsible for the coordinate system is missing, add it and reload it

The file cannot be loaded because EOSDA Crop Monitoring cannot determine the coordinates of the fields in the file.

The .shp file requires a.pjThe one that contains the coordinate system type of the source product.

The file format is not supported. Use .shp, .kml, .geojson or zip file formats that contain .shp, .shx, .dbf files.

Check the file format, you may be loading an invalid format or there is an invalid file in the.Zipperfile

Overview of the file formats that can be loaded onto the system:

• FILE FORM: A.shpis the main file where field geometry is stored, it is mandatory..shxis the index file in which the geometry index of the fields is stored, it is mandatory. He.dbffile is a table containing the field attributes (field name, culture, etc.), it is mandatory. Equally important is the.pjFile storing information about the coordinate system.
• KML-DATA: A.kmlis a file that contains all elements of a layer or map: object geometry, conventions, descriptions, attributes, images and other valuable information.
  Note that only object geometry (polygon shape consisting of at least 3 points) can be loaded into EOSDA Crop Monitoring.
• GEOJSON: O.geojsonThe format can store primitive types of geographic feature descriptions, such as B.: points (addresses and places), lines (roads, highways, borders), polygons (countries, states, properties). This file can also store so-called multitypes, which are a fusion of several primitive types. Please note that of all the objects contained in this file, only polygons can be loaded into EOSDA Crop Monitoring.
• ZIP FILE: You can a.ZipperFile to load files that are part of the shapefile structure, in particular.shp,.shx,.dbf,.pj.

No polygons found in file. Note that separate lines and points are not supported. The system only recognizes polygons.

This error occurs when the file you are trying to load is not a polygon shape but a label, point, photo, line, road, or some other unsupported element.

In EOSDA Crop Monitoring you can only load files that contain a polygon shape, i.e. H. an object in which there are at least three connected coordinate points, all connected to each other.

The file size exceeds 10 MB. Split it into smaller files

The error occurs when the file to be uploaded is larger than 10 MB. You can fix the problem by archiving the file in.Zipperif it is a shape file. Yes.Zipper,.kmlÖ.geojsonFiles are larger than 10MB, the most likely explanation is that the file contains too many objects (fields) and it is better to re-save these fields from their source and split them into 2 or more files.

The field has intersecting contours that are not supported. Correct it

This error reports that the contours of some of the fields contained in the file overlap (intersect or intersect) which prevents the polygons from being correctly created in EOSDA Crop Monitoring. You must validate your boxes and contours in the source you are exporting them from.

Field is larger than 10,000 ha / 24,710 ac, please resize or draw a new field

The error occurs when the area of ​​the field whose outline you are trying to load as a polygon shape is greater than 10,000 hectares or 24,710 acres. You must either edit the polygon contours in the source or manually draw the contours in EOSDA Crop Monitoring.

draw field

The Draw Polygon option is used to outline your field and add it to the map.

Once that is done, click on the buttonSAVE IN MY BOXESand give the new field a name, select the plant name, planting date and season for your crop. then clickSAVE ON COMPUTERto add a field to your field list.

crop rotation

Crop rotation data shows the historical crops that were previously grown in the field as well as the current crop being grown. This information is extremely useful. For example, sugar beets grown in the same field two years in a row can cause disease in the plants that grow there later. Correct crop rotation data includes 3 components:NameAgaincut,Sowing time, it's himRailroad stationwhen the crop was or will be harvested.

Note: You must click on the exact oneSowing timein the calendar box. Make sure the selected date is blue on the calendar.

The time today

Log in every morning to track the weather:

• Temperature
• wind speed and direction
• humidity
• Clouds
• precipitation

This keeps you up to date and allows you to react to changes in good time.

For example. They wanted to apply fertilizer and it will rain.

exploration tasks

To send a scout into the field, you must create a scout task. This task is automatically sent to the mobile app, where a browser can retrieve it for further execution. To perform the action, click the button+ ADD NEW TASKat the bottom of the task list or assign a task by selecting one of its fields.

Place a mouse pointer over the area you want to examine and the New Task window will appear. Contains the preview of your field with a pointer and the coordinates of the field. Fill in the appropriate fields withHomework name,Description,jauthorized representativeand clickSAVE ON COMPUTER. Upon completion, the task will immediately appear in your task list as well as in the mobile app linked to your account.

rasterize image

Currently we are using the Sentinel-2 sensor and satellite imagery with no more than 60% cloud cover. In this way, the statistics collected contain a representative sample and exclude external factors.

indices

Below are the most commonly used vegetation indices presented in EOSDA Crop Monitoring:

NDVIthe normalized differential vegetation index

The NDVI is calculated based on how a plant reflects and absorbs solar radiation at different wavelengths. The index allows identifying problem areas in the field at different stages of crop growth in order to respond to them in a timely manner. Look for areas where the NDVI values ​​differ significantly. For example, areas of a field with an extremely low NDVI rate may indicate problems with pests or crop diseases; and areas of abnormally high NDVI signal weed growth.

EXCHANGEor RedEdge normalized difference*

The NDRE is an indicator of the photosynthetic activity of a canopy used to estimate the nitrogen concentration in plant leaves in the middle and end of a season. It enables the detection of suppressed and aging vegetation and is used to identify plant diseases. It also allows you to optimize the harvest time.

*The red edge band is a narrow band in the vegetation reflectance spectrum between the red and near-infrared transitions.

MSAVIo Modified adjusted ground vegetation index

MSAVI makes it possible to determine the presence of vegetation in the early stages of emergence when there is a lot of bare ground. The index minimizes the effect of bare ground on vegetation map display. Based on the index, you can create differential application maps of fertilizers in the early stages of crop growth.

ReCI oder Red Border Chlorophyll Index

ReCI is an index of the photosynthetic activity of a vegetation cover that is sensitive to the chlorophyll content in the leaves. Because chlorophyll levels are directly related to nitrogen levels in the crop, the index allows you to identify areas of the field with yellowed or discolored leaves that may require additional fertilization.

A humidity index is currently available on the platform:

NDMI or Normalized Differential Moisture Index

The NDMI describes the water stress level of the plants and is calculated as the ratio between the difference and the sum of the refracted radiation in the near infrared and SWIR spectrum. By interpreting the absolute value of the NDMI, you can immediately identify areas where the farm or field is suffering from water stress. The NDMI is easy to interpret: its values ​​vary between -1 and 1, and each value corresponds to a different agronomic situation, independent of the crop.

NDVI, NDRE, MSAVI, ReCI, NDMI are indices that can be selected from the drop-down menu on the left or from the three-dot menu in the small area above the analysis window.

Go downstairs

For example, a small panel above the analysis window allows you to download the NDVI map in .tiff or .shp format. The shape format indicates the NDVI pixel value at each point, and the TIFF format shows a normal image with NDVI applied.

The statistics

To expand the statistics to check your field's index, use the small panel above the analysis window. Statistics can be displayed in hectares or percentage.

turbidity

We do not upload satellite images with more than 60% cloud cover. When using an index, no external factors should influence the overall picture. However, we see the possibility of achieving an image value with 60% cloudiness as positive. Statistics are shown in ha and percent. The clouds appear as a white mask over the field.

Date range

Shows all images with less than 60% cloud cover. When you select a date, you see a satellite image with an index applied for that day.

Note: You can preview the image by hovering over the date in the timeline.

Base layer: elevation map

The elevation map is a digital model that visualizes elevation changes in your field. The model allows agronomists to identify potentially problematic areas of the field:

• flood risks
• limited access to water
• erosion risks

and other types.

In combination with other data (NDVI, productivity map and others), the elevation map helps to identify and eliminate factors that hinder the development of vegetation.

This model also allows you to more accurately measure the field area. It is important to know the exact area of ​​​​your field in order to correctly calculate the number of seedlings, fuel and time required to carry out activities in the field.

How do I find the elevation map?

By default, you will see your field's NDVI values ​​on the map. To view elevation changes, click the index box and select the elevation map from the drop-down list.

Now you can see elevation changes in your field.

Bumps are visualized as different shades, from low dark green areas to high dark red areas. If you hover your mouse over the map, you can also see the actual elevation of each point in your field in meters above sea level.

To better understand your field's elevation differences, see how the color scheme maps to elevation values. Just click on the extension icon in the lower right corner.

You can now see how much area a matching bump occupies in your field and what hue is used to represent it.

In addition, you can also download the elevation map as a .tiff file by clicking the download icon in the bottom right corner.

Chart

The analysis window is automatically displayed at the bottom of the screen when the field is selected.

graphic legend

Diagrams showing a representation ofNDVI(normalized difference vegetation index) are in the middle of this window.

There is also the ability to compare years so you can monitor the performance of your crop against data collected in the past. To view data for a specific date, hover over the graph.

• Soil moisture root zone in %
• soil moisture in %

Temperature

Minimum Temperature curveshows the history of the minimum temperatures that have occurred in your field over a specific period of time. Whenever this curve crosses thecold stressMarking at -6°C, your winter crops may be damaged or fall out. Follow the curve and react when approaching cold stress. Over time, based on this chart, you can trend to better protect your crops.

Maximum temperature curverepresents the record of maximum temperatures in the field over a period of time. Whenever you cross theheat stressmarking at +30°C, your plants are threatened by drought. Follow the curve and react when approaching heat stress. Over time, based on this chart, you can trend to better protect your crops.

humidity

rain chartshows the course of precipitation in the field measured in mm. You can use this graph to trend and adjust watering and fertilization schedules to increase efficiency.

vegetation maps

Usevegetation mapsto calculate how much nitrogen your plants need right now, based on the latest image data available. The color should tell exactly which area is the most problematic. The red color means trouble and probably requires the most nitrogen-rich fertilizer. Green, on the other hand, generally indicates areas of high vegetation density that require much less nitrogen.

to create onevegetation mapyou need to select an appropriate vegetation index from the drop-down menu.

Then select an available oneimage date.

Finally, select the number ofSonsyou want to share the field. You can also set the minimum range for eachZone.

Now all you have to do is clickcalculation

the calculation ofSonsDistribution over the field in thevegetation mapsMenu only takes a few seconds. The result is the newly created map on the left and thevegetation zonesMenu on the right for variable rate application.

You must manually set the application rate for each defined zone by entering the appropriate numbers (depending on the unit system selected in setup). The system automatically calculates the total quantity in the specified units of measure.

This allows you to determine the exact amount of fertilizer to use for each one.Zone.

Note: The green and red colors on the maps represent relatively high and low vegetation. Green is higher than red, red is lower than green.

Make sure there are no anomalies that may have affected the calculations by moving the opacity slider left and right.

opacityis set to 80% by default as this is when all obstacles/anomalies are shown on the overlay image with thevegetation map.

If you move the slider all the way to the left (0%), you can see for sure if there are any objects in the picture that are blocking your view.

You can also clearly see where vegetation is visually extremely low or absent in the field.

If everything looks normal, you can move thatopacitySlider all the way to the right (100%) to see thatvegetation maponly.

productivity cards

productivity cardshelp calculate how much potassium and phosphorus should be used in the field in areas of higher/lower productivity. The red color corresponds to the lowest productivity levels, while the green color indicates the high productivity area. This allows you to spread K and P fertilizer more efficiently on the field.

Note: You can also useproductivity cardsto make soil sampling more accurate by focusing more on areas that appear yellow to red.

This type of zoning is very easy to do. 5 different productivity zones are automatically identified in the field. To calculate them, simply set the dates to create any time period up to 2 years and clickcalculation.

If your land area is less than 2 ha / 4.9 ac, the auto number of zones will be 3 instead of 5 to avoid visual grouping.

Calculations can take a few minutes. The result should look something like this.

You can use the map to understand how to make your field more productive. On the right you can enter the required amount of seed or fertilizer and download the map and total amount in a ZIP file.

How to exclude saved maps

You can remove any card fromyour cardsList at any time by simply clicking "Remove Cart" in the top right corner.

Team Management

Team accounts are accounts that can be shared by multiple users to provide everyone with the same source of information about the same fields or groups of fields, allowing for more efficient collaboration between multiple users and better control of employees by farm owners.

Delegating, completing, and reporting tasks via browser is much faster and easier with a team account. Each team member has 24/7 access to satellite field monitoring and can respond to harvesting issues according to the permissions defined by the role assigned to them by the team owner.

Any team member can spot a problem with the crops and create and complete a recon task or assign a currently available team member. Once the verification is completed and the online report is created in the explorer task, the field owner can access it at any time from the team account.

Who else can benefit from using thedevice management function?

For agricultural cooperative members:

• Strong partnerships between cooperative members and farmers
• Transparency and trust in handling data
• Better communication between explorers and field owners

For Agricultural Advisors:

• Higher customer loyalty through complete information about the status of their fields and their activities
• Give customers the opportunity to visually assess the effectiveness of your activities in their areas.

How to add a user to the team

To increase efficiency in tending crops that regularly grow in all your fields, you need a larger team under your full remote control. By adding new users to your team account, you can create a team of collaborators that will help you cut costs from unnecessary field activities and reduce wasted time.

You can add a new user to the team in three easy steps.

Step 1. Click on your account name in the bottom right corner of the side menu.

Step 2. Select "Team Management" from the drop-down menu.

Step 3. From the team admin panel, click + Invite a new user.

When you open the team admin panel for the first time, you can also click the "INVITE TEAM MEMBER" button in the middle of the screen.

Step 4. In the invitation window, enter the email addresses of the users you want to invite, select the fields or field groups that will be available for this user* and assign the role. Then click Invite.

* A user can have access to a single field, multiple fields, one or more groups of fields, or all fields at once.

Note: Below the role name you can see the list of user access permissions that the role implies.

The invited user will receive an email with the invitation and the link to the team account*.

*The same user can be a member of multiple teams.

Team management features

The practice of assigning roles with clearly defined responsibilities and restricted access is very important when it comes to team management. This means less worry about what your workers might accidentally do to your crops or fields, or even mess up something in your EOSDA Crop Monitoring account.

Because of this, currently any team account holder in EOSDA Crop Monitoring can assign each team member to one of three roles: Administrator, Explorer, Observer.

Let's look at how these roles differ in terms of responsibilities and access restrictions.

Administration

The admin user has the following permissions:

• Add fields to team account
• Edit all fields in the team account
• Create field groups
• Create scan tasks
• Assign exploration tasks to team members
• Edit current scan tasks
• Close scan tasks
• Create scan reports
• add new team members

Explore

The Scout may:

• Add fields to team account
• Show fields and field groups
• Create scan tasks
• Assign exploration tasks to team members
• complete exploration tasks

observer

The observer has the following permissions:

• Show fields and field groups
• Create scan tasks
• Complete exploration tasks*

*The observer can only complete the tasks assigned to him.

How to use the team management dashboard

If you have an EOSDA Crop Monitoring account, you automatically have a team account. Owners and admins can view all relevant information about their teams in the team management dashboard.

The team admin dashboard shows:

• the list of all team members + users who have been invited to the team but have not yet accepted the invitation (members)
• the role of each team member (functions)
• the fields and/or groups of fields available to each team member (Field or group name)
• Time and date of the user's last activity on the computer account (last activity)*
• the actions that the team owner or admin can take on each user (Behave)

*Last active info gives owners and admins more control over each team member.

Behave

The team owner or admin can edit the user's access to fields and/or reassign their role.

Team owners and admins can also remove or remove users from the team.

If the user hasn't accepted/confirmed the invitation, the owner or admin will see the "Resend invitation" action to be taken for that user.

Edit team name

If you are the team owner or admin, you can edit the team account name by clicking the pencil icon next to the name.

Tip: Keep the team name short and simple so that team members can easily identify it when moving between multiple teams.

change teams

If you are a member of multiple teams, you can easily switch between teams. All you have to do is click on the "My Account" icon and select "Switch Teams".

You see the list of your teams. Click the one you want to change, then click SAVE.

If you are a member of multiple teams, the system will automatically display the following:
