Plots

Without plots there are no crops, and this indirectly means there is nothing to trace. A Cotton weblink admin will create plots owned by the company. This can either be done on mobile or the web. The following data needs to be collected when defining plots.

Field Description
Name The name of the plot. If they fail to enter a value for this show the message "Please enter a name for this plot"
Location The location of the plot. This could be a town name or any descriptive location. If they fail to enter a value for this show the message "Please enter a location for this plot"
Size The size of the plot in acres. Only numeric values are allowed. If they fail to enter a value for this show the message "Please enter a size for this plot"
Code The code to prefix traceability codes with when dealing with this plot. If they fail to select a value for this show the message "Please enter a code"

Now that the plot is registered, activities can be recorded for this plot.

Reusing plots

Once a season is done, the plot needs to be archived. Once a plot is archived, it needs to be re-registered if the same plot needs to be used again for a new season. Even if it is the same crop that will be planted on the plot, it still needs to be re-registered. In summary, no plot code can be used two times.
