Task types
- Lite Farm
Work in progress
Below is a list of task types that will be supported in the Q3 2021 release. This is almost guaranteed to change as the app evolves:
Task | Priority (1 = Highest) | Migrated from… | Other Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
Cleaning | 1 | None | Required for Record I. |
Harvest | 1 | Harvest |
|
Pest control | 1 | Pest control | Required for Record I. |
Planting | 1 | Seeding | Required to support crop management plans. Creation of a planting task redirects the user to the creation of a crop management plan. Completion of the planting task takes the user to the specific method used and asks them to verify. |
Field work | 1 | Field work | Required to support crop management plans. |
Soil amendment | 1 | Fertilizing | Required for Record I. |
Transplanting | 1 | None | Helpful for crop management plans. |
The following “nice to have” tasks will be incorporated as time allows.
Task | Priority (1 = Highest) | Migrated from… | Other Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
Soil sample collection | 3 | None |
|
Recording soil sample | 2 | Soil data |
|
Irrigation | 2 | Irrigation |
|
Scouting | 2 | Scouting |
|
Maintenance | 3 | None |
|
Sales | 2 | Sales |
|
Social | 2 | Social |
|
Wash and pack | 3 | None |
|
Transport | 3 | None |
|
Additionally, users will be able to create their own “Custom” task type.
Task families
Work in progress
Certain tasks are very similar to others in terms of implementation. As such, we’ve categorized them into families to simplify creation and maintenance.
Family | Task types | Characteristics | Kevin’s Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
Generic |
| The general characteristics of a task including the notes are sufficient to effectively describe this task. | Quantity / customer etc. is handled on finances for this release. |
Category + Notes |
| This task family can be described by choosing a category and adding notes. These categories are stored on the back-end. | Scout doesn’t need action needed. |
Basic input(s) + Notes |
| This task family can be satisfied by entering 1+ input fields. |
|
Organic input |
| Each of these task types can use products that are inputs into organic certification (specifically Record I for iCertify). As such, they’ll display differently for users seeking organic certification than those not seeking certification. For certification seekers, we’ll collect information on the product, supplier, and organic status. |
