How do I draw or walk a field boundary?

A boundary outlines a field so map layers, visits and reports line up with it. You draw it on the map or walk it with the phone. Boundaries are not drawn automatically.

Draw on the phone

1. Tap +, then New field (or your team’s word), and choose Draw on the map.
2. Move the map and tap Add corner at each corner of the field. Use Undo or Clear to fix it.
3. When you have at least 3 corners, tap Save and name the field.

A place without a boundary shows a Draw boundary card on its page.

Walk on the phone

1. Tap +, then New field, and choose Walk a boundary.
2. Walk the edge of the field with the phone.
3. Tap Finish, then Name this field and save.

Draw on the web

1. Open the create menu and choose New field, or use Add on the Map and New field.
2. Click to add corners. Click the highlighted first corner or double-click to finish.
3. Turn on Snap to neighbor to line the edge up with a field next door.
4. Enter the Name and select Save.

Good to know

• A walked boundary needs at least about 20 meters walked and an area wider than about 10 meters.
• Draw from anywhere on satellite imagery. Walking needs you in the field.
• You cannot draw or walk a boundary from inside a visit. Add the field first, then start the visit.
• Snap to neighbor moves corners within 10 pixels of a neighboring boundary onto its edge.
