JDOffice 1.2 before you do any other work with JDOffice is your best choice. After doing so, select the last boundary option (Create crop boundary from existing field boundary) on the Boundary Preferences screen. Driving the boundaries will ensure the most precise representation. Create field boundaries: (one farm at a time) 1. From the Data menu, select Create Field Boundaries. 2. In Select a farm, choose the farm. 3. Check the box next to each field that you want to create field boundaries for. 4. Check the box(es) for the layer(s) within the selected field that you want to create the crop boundary from. • If multiple layers in different years are selected, JDOffice will average them together to produce one field boundary per field. • If there are multiple crops in a field, multiple layers for each crop in the same year will be selected; they will merge to form one field boundary. 5. Click OK; a message will alert you if it was successful. Field Documentation Files and Field Boundaries When you unload field documentation files and view your farm maps for the first time, JDOffice will check to see if the fields have a boundary. If they do not, you will get a warning. You can either create a boundary, or leave it as is. Several options can be contained within one field documentation file, so be certain of the field boundary. You will not want to create a boundary if you documented a small area of the field because the boundary that JDOffice will create won’t match the actual field boundary. However, if you do not make a boundary, you will not be able to see the farm map - only the field map. This is a good example of why you would want to drive your field boundaries and use them each time to maintain consistency and accuracy. Export Field Boundaries You will need to export the field boundaries if you want to order soil type maps. Export field boundaries: 1. From the File menu, select Export>Field Boundaries. 196

2. In Farm(s), check the box for the farm(s) that the fields are a part of. • That farm's fields will appear on the right with all fields checked. 3. In Field(s) for X, uncheck the box for the field(s) you do not want soil type maps for. 4. Check This export is for requesting soil type map data. 5. Click Export . 6. • The default directory location is \GreenStar\JDOffice\export. • Click Browse to select a different directory location. Click OK. Note: Microsoft Windows has a limit of 77 files when writing to the floppy’s drive in the root directory (A:\). This means that you are only able to copy 77 files onto the floppy disk - although their size may be small enough to fit more. Because an exported field contains three files per field, you are limited to exporting 25 fields at a time. To get around this limit, create a subdirectory (a folder) on your floppy disk (A:\boundaries), and export the field boundary files to this folder. In the example in bold, “boundaries” is the name of the subdirectory (folder) on the floppy disk - you can name it anything you want. 197 Field Maps
