Activity templates are used to quickly create planned activities or other jobs in Agworld (Work Orders/Recommendations/Actuals). Activity templates allow you to pre-fill sections in activities, to make entering data quicker and easier. These sections include:
- The activity name
- The rough due date
- Any product or seed rates or operation costs
- Comments, application details and withholding periods
Having templates set up will save you time entering in common jobs, or jobs that you want copied across multiple fields. These could be sprays, fertiliser applications, operations and more.
You can create activity templates by:
- Saving an existing activity as a template
- Creating them from scratch
To save an existing activity (recommendation/plan/work order/actual) as a template:
- From either the Maps or the Jobs page, find the activity you want to save as a template
- Click on the job and choose the option to View
