Recreate Rx Shapefiles

The Recreate Rx Shapefile tool allows you to select previously made prescriptions and download their reports and shapefiles. See the video or article below to learn more. 

Steps:

1. Begin in the View tool with the desired fields selected by clicking 'Recreate Shapefiles' in the Right-Click Menu.

2. Use the filters to narrow down the list of Rx layers, or use the date selection, then select the Rx layers. 

3. Assign a new date to the selected layers by entering a date in the "New date" line and clicking 'Update date'. 

4. Delete the selected layers by clicking 'Delete Layers'.

5. If you choose to download the Rx shapefiles, you can choose the Filename length (character limit), as well as choose a custom name for either the individual files or the Zip file. The default naming format for the files contained within the ZIP file is GrowerFarmFieldProduct. If needed, the filename will be abbreviated in that order. A custom name can be entered for either the individual files or the ZIP file that will be applied to all, or a template of sorts can be made by using the @ sign to specify which naming components should be included in the filename. This template will be saved for the next time the tool is opened. 

6. 'Simplify shapefile' will reduce the number of points per polygon and the file size. This can be particularly useful for older monitors.

7. When multiple Rx's have been created, you can choose to combine all the fields and/or products into a single shapefile; this will combine the reports as well.   

8. With the dropdown, you can choose a limit of Rx files per Zip file. 

9. Check the 'Download Reports' box to download pdf reports for the selected Rx layers. 

10. Check the 'Send shapefiles to Operations Center™' box to send the Rx's to the files page within Operations Center™. 

11. Check the 'Apply cell size to shapefile' box and enter a cell size to update the cell size (resolution) of the selected Rx's.

12. When finished, click 'Run'.
