🔎 Step 1: Go to Site

Navigate to:

Company → Sites

Here you will see an overview of all available locations.

Select the site you want to set up or edit.


⚙️ Step 2: Open registration preferences

Within the selected location, you will see several sections, such as:

  • Registration preferences

  • Location questionnaire

  • Cultivation plan

  • Stock

  • Energy meters

  • Water meters

Click on Registration preferences.


🧩 Step 3: Configure your registration preferences

In this screen, you define how your registrations are recorded. This is an important step, as these settings directly affect your daily data entry.

You can configure these settings in two ways:


✅ Option A: Manual setup

You can specify per question what you want to register.


📌 General information

(Short) description of the location
→ For example, a name or recognizable label for the location


🧪 Crop protection

Register via dosage (per m²)
→ Choose whether to enter products per surface area instead of as a total quantity


👤 Registration details

You can make additional fields mandatory, such as:

  • Register applicator → ✅ Yes / No

  • Register responsible person → ✅ Yes / No

  • Register application method → ✅ Yes / No

  • Register equipment → ✅ Yes / No

  • Register weather conditions → ✅ Yes / No


⏱️ Safety and timing

  • Register re-entry time

  • Register safety interval from the label

  • Register harvest date


📝 Additional context

  • Register reason for application


⚖️ Set units

You also define the units used for registration:

  • Crop protection products → for example gram / ml, kg / liter, or ounce / fl. ounce

  • Surface area → for example , hectare, acre, or square feet


🚀 Option B: Use the selection helper (recommended)

At the top of the screen, click “Start selection helper”.

With the selection helper, you can easily indicate which scheme requirements you need to comply with, for example:

  • ABC + GAP

  • ABC + GAP-SQ

  • ABC + HFC

  • ABC / Insights

  • Compact

👉 Based on your selection, a template will automatically be applied.

This means:

  • Most settings are filled in correctly right away

  • You comply with the selected scheme requirements

  • You reduce the risk of incorrect or incomplete configuration


⚙️ What can you configure in the selection helper?

Within the selection helper, you set:

  • Active from date

  • Template selection (scheme requirements)

  • All previously mentioned registration questions (Yes/No choices)

  • Units for registration

The settings will immediately appear in the overview of the registration preferences.


🔍 Important to check

Even when using the selection helper:

  • Check whether the settings match your actual situation

  • Adjust settings manually where needed

  • Pay extra attention to units and mandatory fields

💡 Tip: The selection helper provides a solid foundation, but can always be refined.


✅ Step 4: Review your settings

Go through all settings again and check:

  • Are all mandatory fields set correctly?

  • Do the options match how you actually register data?

  • Are the correct units selected?


🔗 What’s next?

After configuring your registration preferences, you can continue with:

  • Completing the location questionnaire

  • Setting up the cultivation plan

  • Registering usage

These steps build on the choices you have made here.


⚠️ Important

Do you make changes to your location setup later?
Make sure to update them immediately, so your registrations remain consistent.
