Manage your tags

See all your tags on the Tags page, add one, rename a value or a key, merge two tags into one, and delete a tag from everything at once.

The Tags page is where you look after your tags themselves: add one before anything carries it, fix a spelling, put two tags that mean the same thing together, or take a tag off everything at once. To put a tag on a block, an application or a chemical, or take it off one, see Tag your blocks, Tag your applications and Tag your chemicals. What tags are and where they count is in What tags are for.

Here, two people tagged the farm's blocks. A1 and A2 are Use: Raisins, but B1 was tagged Use: raisin, and A2 was also tagged Purpose: Raisins.

Only a farm admin or a manager can add, rename, merge or delete tags. Everyone else on the farm can see them.

See your tags

Choose Tags in the menu on the left. Your tags are listed in three parts, Blocks, Applications and Chemicals, each by key and then value. Next to each tag is how many blocks, applications or chemicals carry it.

The Tags page, with Purpose: Raisins on 1 block, Use: raisin on 1 and Use: Raisins on 2

Add a tag

Press New. Under On, choose what the tag is for, type the Key and the Value, and press Save.

Add a tag, with Applications, Buyer and Woolworths chosen

Intecrop confirms with Added Buyer: Woolworths. The tag is listed under Applications on 0 applications. A tag that nothing carries stays on the list until you delete it, so you can use it again later.

Capitals do not make a different tag: on blocks, Use: Raisins and use: raisins are the same tag, so adding the second only tells you Use: Raisins is already one of this farm's tags. A new value under a key you already have for the same kind takes that key's spelling, so you do not end up with Use and USE side by side. A block tag and an application tag are never the same tag, even with the same words. Extra spaces are taken out, and a key may not contain a colon (:).

Rename a value

Press the pencil next to the tag, type the new value, and press Save. Everything carrying the tag shows the new value.

Rename a value, with Raisins typed in for Use: raisin

Merge two tags

Use: raisin and Use: Raisins mean the same thing, so rename the one to the other. If the key already has the value you typed, Intecrop offers to merge the two, and tells you how many will carry the tag after the merge. Here A1 and A2 carry Use: Raisins and B1 carries Use: raisin, so 3 blocks will.

Merge two tags: Use: raisin into Use: Raisins, 3 blocks will carry Use: Raisins

Press Merge. Intecrop confirms with Merged Use: raisin into Use: Raisins. Use: raisin is gone from the list, and Use: Raisins is on 3 blocks.

Rename a key

Press the key icon next to any of its tags, type the new key, and press Save. Every value under the key is renamed. Renaming Buyer to Customer here makes Buyer: Woolworths into Customer: Woolworths, and Intecrop confirms with Renamed Buyer to Customer.

If you rename a key to one you already have, the two keys become one. A value the other key already has is merged into that tag straight away, without the question Merge asks when you rename a value.

That is refused when some blocks, applications or chemicals have a value under both keys, because each can have only one value for a key. Renaming Purpose to Use here is refused, because A2 has both:

Rename a key: 1 block has both Use and Purpose; clear one first

Press Cancel to leave the key as it is. Then take one of the two keys off those blocks, applications or chemicals: press the cross on the tag on each one, or tick them all and use Clear a key on the list. Rename the key again once nothing has both.

Delete a tag

Press the bin next to the tag. Intecrop asks you to confirm, and says how many blocks, applications or chemicals carry it.

Delete Purpose: Raisins? It is on 1 block.

Press Confirm. Intecrop confirms with Deleted Purpose: Raisins. Deleting a tag takes it off all of them.

Try it on your own farm

Record your applications, track what they cost, and print the reports you need at audit time.
