Applicator View: Check Your Imports Before They're Saved, and XAG Prescription Maps

When you import fields from KML, KMZ, Shapefile or GeoJSON, nothing is saved straight away anymore. Every shape in the file shows up in a review list with a suggested role (Obstacle, No-Spray, Skip or Boundary) and a tag that tells you how confident that suggestion is: , or . Change any of them with one click, or use / to set everything at once.

Shapes with the same name are grouped, so twelve poles are one row, not twelve. Click a group or a single shape and the map zooms to it, which makes it easy to check what you're looking at.

If a shape is really a field of its own, click and it becomes a separate field. Changed your mind? puts it back, and brings it back again.

When it all looks right, pick what should happen if a field with the same name already exists ( or ) and click . The first time you import, a short walkthrough explains each part of the panel. You can replay it any time from the next to the panel title.

Importing a prescription map from a file now opens it in the editor first. Click , and the map is laid out on your field with a summary of what was read from the file: the file name, how many cells were found and how many are sprayed, where the boundary came from, and any warnings.

From there you can rename the map, change the unit or touch up the cells, then click . Click and nothing is saved.

There's a new tab on the Import Prescription Map page. Export a VRA mission from Pix4Dfields in XAG format and upload the *_Prescription.json file. The rates in the file are in L/ha and are converted to the dosage unit you work in (for example gal/acre), so you don't have to do the math.

Pick a field under and the map keeps that field's outline. If you skip it, the boundary follows the sprayed area in the file, and the preview tells you so before you save.

You can now import prescription map files up to 200 MB each, and the upload area shows that limit. After you click , the button shows the upload progress, so you can see how far a large file has got. If a file is over 200 MB, you're told straight away which file it is, before anything is uploaded.

On a prescription map's details page, now has a row. It covers the cells inside the map that have no rate in the file; those cells are sprayed at the job's default rate. With this row, the zone areas add up to the map's Area. Zones with a rate of 0 are still listed on their own.

Prescription maps imported from a file now show their area on the details page right after you save. Before, Area showed a dash until you opened the map in the editor and saved it again.

Some Pix4D GeoTIFF exports fill everything outside the sprayed area with zeros. Those zeros were being read as part of the map, so the boundary came in as the full rectangle of the file, which can be several times larger than the field. Zero cells are now treated as empty, and when you choose a field under , the map uses that field's outline.

Maps with a single rate across the whole area also used to come in with no colour. They're now shown in one colour, with a matching legend.

When a field file also contained points (such as poles) or lines (such as power lines), those shapes used to be dropped without warning. They now come in as obstacles: points as 5 m round obstacles and lines as line obstacles, and a message tells you what was added.
