How do I create Initial Nitrogen point layers?

Overview

The Initial Nitrogen Point layer is an easy way to set up testing points for field sampling. It creates the layer in a format that imports data automatically from the lab and allows the data to flow through into Nitrogen.

Requirements

• Valid field boundaries.
• If there is an Initial Nitrogen Point layer from a previous year, rename the layer to avoid errors in processing.

To create a layer:

1. Select the field for which the layer is needed in the domain tree.
2. From the Layer menu, choose Create a new layer.
3. Select Create a new site layer.
4. Click Load Template.
5. Select the 2021 Initial Nitrogen Points option from the list.

6. In the New Layer window, enter the Collected Date and Lab.
7. Click OK to create the layer

To add sample points to the layer:

1. Select the 2021 Initial Nitrogen Points layer from the domain tree.
2. From the Layer menu, select Layer Editor.
3. Click New Site.

4. Using the crosshairs, designate locations for sample points by clicking on the map.

Sample numbers are assigned automatically in the order of clicks.

5. Click Save and close the Layer Editor.
