JDOffice 1.2 The default legend determines the coloring of the data on a field map the first time that type of field layer is viewed. Once the field map is visible, you can view any of the legends which were created for any legend type and crop. JDOffice ships with default legends for most crops in the system. Some crops have multiple legends, and you can select which of those you want to be the default. You are not limited to the listed legends - additional legends can be created on the Legends Setup tab and then selected as the default on this tab. Select the default legend: 1. From the File menu, select Preferences. 2. Select the Legends tab. 3. In Legend type, select Application Log, Elevation, Moisture or Yield. 4. In Crop, select the crop to which you want to assign a new default legend. • Elevation legends do not have crops. 5. In Default legend, select the new legend. 6. Click OK to save your changes and close the Preferences. Offset Application Log Legends If you are using variable drive, you will get application log maps in addition to the field documentation maps. An application log is a graphic representation of how the seeds or chemicals were actually planted/applied in the field. If you used a seeding prescription, the log (and corresponding legend) should be identical to the application plan if the prescription is not deviated from. However, the implement may not apply exactly those designated amounts. As the controller cycles up and down from one rate to another, it may use a rate slightly off from the desired target. Depending on the amount, the extra seeds or chemicals may change the legend color for that area. It this happens frequently, the legend as a whole will not display accurate results. For example, if one area should have 26,000 seeds planted in it, and the planter plants 25,950, the legend will display a different color if the legend has an increment between the two values. Legends are set by increments so there is little tolerance for error. This option eliminates using the wrong color when the rate is within a designated value of the target. As a rule, the majority of users will not change the default offset number. 34

Maps (General) Preferences Compress Distances on the Farm Map 35 Preferences The default of JDOffice is to have this option checked. Although enlarged, the fields will remain proportionate in size, and in the correct geographic position to one another. However, because the program recalculates the distance between the fields to be able to display them all on the farm map, the distance between fields will be distorted, and the printed map will not be to scale. If this box is unchecked, the fields on the farm map might be extremely far apart, making it difficult to analyze. The graphic to the right is an example of this. The same farm with its three fields is displayed twice. The farm on top is with compression turned off and the farm on the bottom is with compression turned on. If your farm has several fields that are spread out, you can see how difficult it could become to see them all at once on the farm map if the field compression feature is turned off. If you do not have the compression option checked, the longitude and latitude of any tool’s position on the farm map will display at the bottom of the screen. This option needs to be turned off before viewing TIGER data on the farm map. Draw Points in Reverse on Field Map Points are drawn on the field map in the order in which the equipment collects data. If you drive over a part of the field that has already been harvested (end rows), these points will display on “top” of the points which were collected first. Because you have already harvested this area, these new points will have zero yield and will be represented by the lowest legend color on the field map. The correct yield results are actually “underneath” these points. This option reverses the display order, and the actual data you drove over first will display

Legends Setup tab and then selected as the default on this tab.<br />

Select the default legend:<br />

1. From the File menu, select Preferences.<br />

2. Select the Legends tab.<br />

3. In Legend type, select Application Log, Elevation, Moisture or <strong>Yield</strong>.<br />

4. In Crop, select the crop to which you want to assign a new default legend.<br />
