View Tool: Basic Navigation

Created by Info Admin, Modified on Thu, 11 Jan at 10:13 AM by Info Admin


PCT Agcloud is a web-based portal that contains a structured set of tools.


The vast majority of these functions are accessed from the View tool.


Once you log in you will be automatically taken to View.


Basic Navigational Areas of the View Tool:


GFF Tree

The GFF tree is displayed when the Boundaries Function is selected. It allows you to select the Dealer, Grower, Farm(s), and Field(s) that is displayed in the map. The selected boundaries will be highlighted in blue and the unselected boundaries will be black. To select or unselect a boundary, click within it. Below the GFF tree, you can see info on your current PCT subscription, and you can select labels to be displayed in the map.

You have the ability to access multiple different functions within the View tool. Below are short descriptions of the functions.
