Verify equipment task data

When equipment data is read-in to Trimble Ag Software through file imports or wireless connections with vehicle displays or third-party accounts, it’s held for verification before the data becomes part of a field record. You can edit or delete the task details to fix errors, merge or reassign tasks, and control whether to add tasks to maintain the accuracy of your field records and costs. Once you verify the task data, the information can be used in reports and coverage maps in the online account or on the mobile app.
