From advice to action

Turn an answer into work that gets done: actions, a management plan for the season, and field notes fed back to ORTH.

Advice counts once it happens in the field. ORTH has three building blocks for that: an action is one task on a date, a plan is a set of dated actions for a season or a problem, and a field note records what you saw and did.

1
Create an action
Open Create and choose Create action, or use Add Action in the Farm view. Give it a name, a due date, a category, a plot and who it is assigned to, then Save.
2
Follow it in the Farm view
Upcoming actions appear under Upcoming Actions and on the plot on the map. Once the date has passed, an open action shows as Overdue.
3
Pick a plan type
For a season or a bigger job, build a management plan. Open Create, choose Create plan and pick a type: Crop Protection, Nutrition, Irrigation, Harvesting, Monitoring, Crop Selection, Machinery & Equipment, Business Planning, or General for any farm goal.
4
Build the plan
Answer ORTH’s questions, then review the dated actions it proposes: rename the plan, add an action, and tap Create. A full season can take ORTH a few minutes to build, and the Farm view then shows how many steps are done.
5
Manage the plan
Open the plan from Upcoming Plans. Filter its actions by date, status, category, person or plot. With Edit Plan, select actions and use Date, Category, Plot or Assign to give them to a team member, or Delete. The ⋯ menu adds an action, renames the plan or changes its category.
6
Add a note and close it
Tap Note to record what you saw or did. ORTH writes a summary and saves the weather at that moment. Then tick the action off as Successful, Partial or Unsuccessful, and add a result note if you like.
7
Pin the exact spot
A note starts at Farm level. Tap Change to link it to a plot, or Drop Pin, tap the exact spot on the map and Confirm Location. Edit sets the date and time, for a note you write up later.
