How do I Split a Field Boundary into Two Fields in Field360 Studio?

Overview: 

Field Boundaries play an important role in all aspects of Field360 Studio and Insights. Review the field boundaries each year as early as possible to avoid issues later in the year. 

Requirements:  

• Operation is created in Connex. 
• To create a new Operation or add an existing operation to your Operation list, contact your Territory Manager, who will work with NAO Master Data to have the Operation added to your AAR.
• Boundaries are created.
• Updating Field Boundaries may not automatically update crop zones or field-level layers such as Encirca Decision Zones layers.
• Yield Goals need to be updated and Nitrogen templates or Fertility scripts (in Field360) may need to be re-applied or re-ran due to Field Boundary changes affecting Encirca Decision Zones layers.

Process: 

1. In the Grower window, select the Operation and Crop Year. 
2. In the Resources window, Expand the farm and select the field from the domain tree.
3. On the menu above the map, select Editor > Boundary Editor.
   • Note: When the boundary editor is open, the currently selected field boundary displays in red. Interior lines such as waterways display in green. If the boundary is already separated into regions that can be selected/highlighted in blue independently, skip to step 4.

3. Select the Split Polygon tool. 

4. Starting outside the boundary, draw a cutting line/polygon by clicking point to point.
   • Note: The cutting polygon should end outside of the boundary. At each spot where the cutting line/polygon comes into contact with the boundary, it creates a cut. Think of the field boundary as a piece of paper and the Split Polygon tool as the path a scissors follows.

5. Click within a polygon on the map to select it. The selected polygon appears in blue.

6. To transfer to a new field, select the Transfer Polygon icon to open the Pick Domain Window. 
   • 
7. Select a destination field form the Pick Domain window.
   • To create a new field using the selected polygon, Select a Farm in the Pick Domain window and select the Add a New Field to the Selected Farm icon at the bottom.
   • 
8. Click OK to finalize the transfer.
9. After finishing all edits, click Save
10. Click Close to turn off the boundary editor.
11. When prompted whether to update the crop zone boundary, click Yes.
12. New farms and fields might not display in the correct order after creation. Refresh the grower after modifying the boundary by selecting View and then Refresh Grower or pressing F5 on the keyboard.
    • NOTE: If your operation has a Continuous Sync with Insights, you cannot merge fields.
