Import blocks in bulk, adjust headers, export block data, and re-import new data.
If you have your blocks in a GIS file (Shapefile or geojson are supported as of this writing) you can import them in bulk including any header data associated with each block.
First, open your farm details drawer.
Then, click on the ‘Create Block(s)’ option.
Use the ‘Choose File’ button under ‘Import GIS File’ to browse for your GIS file. Once selected, you’ll see headers listed below ‘Headers to Import’. You can remove headers that you don’t wish to import and/or select a header to use for block names. Once ready, scroll down and click ‘Submit’. Your blocks will be created.
New to the latest version of myEV, we can now adjust block headers on our farms.
Head back to your farm details drawer and click the ‘Settings’ cog.
In here you’ll see the headers that exist on your farm blocks. In this example, you can see that ‘Variety’ is a ‘Text’ header. Let’s change that to a ‘Select’ header. First, click on the pencil icon near the header to edit its settings.
In here, we’ve adjusted the ‘Header Type’ to ‘Select’. At this point you can click the ‘Generate Options’ button to automatically create options from the existing data. ‘Update’ the header and save your farm to finalize the changes.
Sometimes it’s easier to make adjustments to a lot of data using a spreadsheet program. myEV lets you export your block data as a CSV file that can be edited and then imported to sync with your blocks. WARNING: This feature should be used with caution as it can override a lot of data in a short amount of time. Be sure to backup your data before making adjustments.
To start, go to your farm details drawer and select the ‘Downloads’ tab. Click the ‘CSV’ option.
