Field Maps
geographic outline for the soil type maps; the latitude and longitude are used
to extract the field shape from the exact location on the state soil type maps.
For each field you export boundaries for, three files will be created: a database
file (*.dbf); a shape file (*.shp); and a label file (*.shx).
Import Soil Type Information
When the mapping company is finished with your data, they will send you a
disk with the soil type information. This data will then need to be imported into
JDOffice.
Import soil type information files:
1. If you have a multi-client system, select the client.
2. Place the disk from the mapping company into the appropriate disk drive.
3. The soil type maps will be saved in the processing year that is active. If you
want a year other than that, select it on the Dates Preferences tab, or from
the year spinner on the bottom right side of the screen.
4. From the File menu, select Import>Soil Type Maps.
5. Click Browse.
6. In Drives, select the letter of your disk drive.
7. In the folders listed for that drive, click on the folder containing the data -
you cannot select individual files.
8. Click OK. The directory location will appear in the text box.
9. Click OK. If there are multiple disks, you will be prompted to enter them.
Soil Type Error Log
The Soil Type Error Log reports all errors that occur when you import soil type
maps. This is a master log file; each time you import additional soil types, the
new log data is added to the bottom of the Error Log file. Each section will be
labeled with the date the maps were imported.
The error messages are divided between those
that require the CCC’s assistance, and those that
require the assistance of the mapping company. If
you have errors that list both contact information,
always contact the CCC prior to the mapping
company.
