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

How To Fix Invalid Paddock Validation Error.
- Select the pen icon next to the paddock with the invalid paddock message.
- Use the map editor tools and instructions tab to adjust the paddock boundary lines to ensure there is no overlap with another paddock.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Right click: Right clicking a point will delete that point.
- Click and drag: To move a point, click and drag it into a new position.
- 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.
- Select ‘Finish Drawing’.
- 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.
