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
