Why You Received Validation Errors.

  • Note - Paddocks with validation errors will be highlighted red on your map so you can easily identify them easily. 
  • There are two types of validation errors you may receive when you attempt to validate and save your changes.
    • Invalid Label: This means that your paddock label is outside of that paddocks boundary lines.
    • Invalid Paddock: This means that 1% or more of a paddock overlaps with another paddock.
  • These need to be fixed before Resolution will allow you to validate and save your changes.

 

 

How To Fix Invalid Label Validation Error.

  1. Select the pen icon next to the paddock with the invalid label message.
  2. Click and drag the paddock label back within the paddock boundaries.
  3. Select ‘Finish Drawing’.
  4. Select ‘Save’.

 

 

How To Fix Invalid Paddock Validation Error.

  1. Select the pen icon next to the paddock with the invalid paddock message.
  2. Use the map editor tools and instructions tab to adjust the paddock boundary lines to ensure there is no overlap with another paddock.
    1. Left click: Left click on the map to add new points to your new paddock. Or, left click or click and drag the smaller points in between the main points to add a new point.
    2. Shift key (On Windows and Apple): Hold down the shift key to snap to the nearest corner and left click at the same time to set a point there.
    3. Control key (on Windows) or Command key (on Apple): Hold down the control/command key to snap to the paddock boundary line and left click at the same time to set a point there.
    4. Right click: Right clicking a point will delete that point.
    5. Click and drag: To move a point, click and drag it into a new position. 
  3. Once again AVOID Overlap: Be sure to use the instructions tab and tools available (outlined above) to ensure there is no paddock overlap with an existing paddock. Resolution will allow up to a 1% overlap when you attempt to validate and save your changes, however for precision and accuracy we recommend having no overlaps.
  4. Select ‘Finish Drawing’.
  5. Select ‘Save’.

 

 

Validate And Save Changes.

  • After fixing your validation errors, you need to validate and save your changes once more.
  • Pro Tip: We recommend only validating and saving your changes made to the map once at the end, after all your changes have been made. 
  • To do so, select ‘Validate & Save Changes’.
  • Select ‘Save Changes’ to confirm.
  • Users will then need to sync the app for these changes to be visible.
