Accessing and Using the Job Generator on the Slingshot Website

The job generator section of the Slingshot website is a powerful tool that allows users to create and customize jobs for their farming operations. With the job generator, users can set up grower, farm, and field assignments, configure products, use RX maps, and more. In this article, we will walk through the different parts of the job generator section and provide step-by-step instructions on how to use it effectively.

Step 1: Accessing the Job Generator Section

To access the job generator section on the Slingshot website, you need to first navigate to the "Man That's" dropdown menu. From there, select the "Job Generator" option. This will bring you to the jobs list page, where you can proceed to the next step.

Step 2: Using the Job Generator

Once you are on the jobs list page, you will find the option to select the menu button in the top left corner. Click on it and then choose the "Job Generator" option. This will take you to the actual job generator interface, where you can start building your job.

2.1 Starting with the Job Name

The job generator follows a top-down approach, starting with the job name. It is important to practice good naming conventions to avoid duplicates and ensure clarity. We recommend using descriptive names, such as a work order number or a date description of the job itself. Enter the job name and proceed to the next step.

2.2 Selecting the Grower, Farm, and Field

Next, you will need to select the grower, farm, and field for the job. If you won't be using grower, farm, and field assignments extensively, you may consider using the quick job option instead. However, for this tutorial, we will focus on the job generator. Choose the desired grower and farm from the available options or add a new one if necessary. Then, create a new field or select an existing one. It is crucial to follow good naming practices to avoid confusion.

2.3 Configuring the Product

In the product configuration section, you can choose the product for the job. By default, it will be set to "water," but you can select any previously created products or mixes from your account. If needed, you can create a new mix and set it by rate or quantity. Ensure that you provide all the required information, such as name, ingredient, and rate. Additionally, you can use RX maps to further customize the job.

2.4 Using RX Maps

RX maps allow you to create customized application maps based on specific requirements. You can select from the RX maps associated with your account or add a new one. When using an RX map, make sure to choose the appropriate column for controlling the rate and specify the units.

2.5 Setting the Field Information

In this step, you will configure the field information. The map will automatically zoom to the location based on either your browser's location tracking, your selection of a specific grower, farm, and field, or the chosen RX map location. Set the field location by clicking on the map, choose the entry point, and define the boundary by clicking on different points on the map. These steps are essential for accurate field mapping and referencing.
