JDOffice 1.2 • Soil Type Map: Automatically created when the shape files are imported into JDOffice. All soil type maps will use the same legend. • Tank Mix: Used with tank mix field documentation maps; units based on selections made on the GreenStar Display. • Tank Mix Application Plan: Used with tank mix application plan maps. Each time new rates are entered on a tank mix application plan, a corresponding legend rate will be added to this list. • Tillage: Automatically created from the choices made on the GreenStar Display. • Variety: Sorted by Product (crop). Automatically created each time a new variety is entered on the Variety Setup tab. Edit a discrete master legend color: 1. From the Setup menu, select Flags/Legends. 2. Select the Legend tab. 3. In Legend type, select the discrete master legend you want to edit. 4. Select the Product, then the Unit of measure. 5. Click on the legend color that you want to edit. 6. Click Set Color. 7. In the Color window, pick a Basic color. If you prefer, you can create a custom color by adjusting the values on the right. 8. Click OK on the Color window. 9. Click OK to save your changes and close Setup. Incremental Legends Incremental legends let you specify the high, low, and incremental values. The incremental value determines what the legend is divisible by - there is an 11 color limit. To be able to differentiate between points easily, maps work best with 4 to 6 colors. If there is a lack of color variance on your field maps, this may be due to the increments set; adjust 90

91 Setup them until you find a range that conveys useful information. • Elevation: Used with elevation maps; based on height above sea level. • Fertilizer Application Log: Used with fertilizer application log field maps (Measured or Target layers). Values determined by the sensors on the equipment. • Moisture: Used with moisture maps generated from the yield data; based on percentages. • Normalized: Used with any yield, moisture or wet weight map to quickly shows the field’s average distribution of yield data. A normal distribution of data means that most yield points will be close to the “average” bushels per acre (found by selecting the Field Information button), while a few yield sites will fall above and below the average. Because you are looking for not only the average, but also for the values that fall above and below the average, it may easier to use legends that contain an odd number of increment colors. For example, if your legend uses five colors you know that the average will be the middle color, and that the two colors above the middle will represent higher than average yield, and the two colors below it will represent below average yield. If you selected Percentage, enter the number of percentage points to include in each color break. • Pesticide Application Log: Used with pesticide application log field maps (Measured or Target layers). Values determined by the sensors on the equipment. • Tank Mix Application Log: Used with tank mix application log field maps (Measured or Target layers). Values determined by the sensors on the equipment. • Wet Weight: Used with wet weight maps generated from the yield data. Actual weight calculated by the sensors before drying calculations were applied to it in JDOffice. • Yield: Used with yield maps generated from the yield data; based on crop yield per area unit. Add an incremental legend: 1. From the Setup menu, select Flags/Legends. 2. Select the Legend tab. 3. In Legend type, select the type of incremental legend you want to add. 4. Select the Product, then the Unit of measure that corresponds to the Legend type. 5. Click New. 6. The Legend name text box will be blank. Enter a unique name. • Press the keyboard Tab key to add it to the list. 7. Set the High, Low and Increment values by highlighting and then typing over the text, or clicking on the arrows. 8. Click Update. • If the legend values are not evenly divisible by the increments set, JDOffice will
