4 Data management Data Dictionary categories
Create / load a data dictionary
The FM-1000 integrated display can load data dictionaries that enable you to select field entry data
(for example, Client, Farm, Field, and Event) from a list of predefined values. This saves you time
from continually entering commonly used categories.
You can create a data dictionary either through the display or using Farm Works software.
To create a data dictionary on a computer:
1. On a computer, create a text file. The text file can have any name, but the file extension must be
.txt.
2. Enter the text.
3. Copy the .txt file to the \AgGPS\Data Dictionary\ folder on a USBdrive.
4. On specific display screens (for example, at the Client screen), the file entries will display.
5. To access the entries in the dictionary:
a. At the Field Setup screen, tap New.
b. Tap any list's down arrow to see the available items in the list.
c. Select the appropriate item from the list.
d.
Tap OK.
Note – You can still enter new information as before, but these entries are not added to the data
dictionary. To add items to the data dictionary, edit the .txt file on an office computer.
