  • In-Hand Operations: Highlighting the areas of the land that you manage directly yourself (farming "in-hand").

A new plan will be added to the left hand panel and your mapped features show on screen.

By selecting a feature you will now be able to assign the use by clicking on Assign Use. You can select more than one feature by holding down the shift key or using the select feature type functionality.

You will be presented with expandable categories of available uses to make your selection.

Once assigned, the feature will now be associated with that use. Completing that for all of the mapped features will allow you to categorise and assign clear operational statuses to different areas of your land.

Further editing and additions of features can be completed by using the split, merge and draw tools.
