Manage boundary data with Field Profiler

Use Field Profiler™ to manage field boundaries by crop year in Trimble Ag Software, with options to add and assign fields, draw and color-code your boundaries, import and export boundary shape files and Google Earth map files, import boundaries from the prior or following crop year, and import or export benchmarks. Our software uses spatial selection to look for matches between your data and our software, starting with the field name. If field names are different, Trimble Ag Software looks for similar field boundaries to match data for both fields.

  2. Select the preferred crop year (top left)
  3. Click on the Field tab (top menu)
  4. Select Field Profiler from the left navigation menu
  5. View the list of fields for the specified crop year, with options to search, filter or print the views selected
  6. Click Manage to view options
  7. Select Add New Field to add an asset to that crop year (opens the same dialogue found under Farm > Farms > Fields > Add Field)

  10. Select Upload Boundary Files to upload shape files (requires all four file types: .dbf, .prj, .shp and .shx):
