With regards to Supplies, the program should give a message as follows:

WARNING: The following items were only partially exported. Please change your
export options and select fewer items to be written.

Items:
Supplies - Limit 20

If you see this message, you should Cancel out and go back to Write Job Data and use the Resource List button to limit the supplies being sent out. You can do this by category (such as just selecting Fertilizers if that's what you will doing).]]> Scott Nusbaum Office - MappingThu, 22 Sep 2011 11:05:38 -0400 http://www.farmworks.com/forum/read.php?9,64069,65154#msg-65154 http://www.farmworks.com/forum/read.php?9,64069,65154#msg-65154
So is this a general warning then?
As I stated above (time for a new thread), I selected 1 Client, 15 Farms, 3 people, NO supplies, and still saw the warning, and had no trouble when going into the EZ250 with the info.
This was last spring so my memory is really fuzzy, but generally had no problems.

Thanks,]]> Mitch Konen Office - MappingThu, 22 Sep 2011 09:38:14 -0400 http://www.farmworks.com/forum/read.php?9,64069,65152#msg-65152 http://www.farmworks.com/forum/read.php?9,64069,65152#msg-65152
My understanding is that the EZGuide has a limitation of 20 Clients. Within each Client you have a limit of 20 Farms. Within each Farm you have a limit of 20 Fields. So to meet this requirement you may need to setup more Farms and move certain fields into those Farms. The message you receive within Farm Works exceeding those limits, is not a problem within our Software, it is stating that you have exceeded EZ Guide 250 or 500 limitation.

This is the same limitation on Supplies. 20 Supplies per Supply Type, etc..

Hope this makes sense.]]> KathyCline Office - MappingThu, 22 Sep 2011 08:47:21 -0400 http://www.farmworks.com/forum/read.php?9,64069,65148#msg-65148 http://www.farmworks.com/forum/read.php?9,64069,65148#msg-65148Curt]]> Curt McNaughton Office - MappingWed, 21 Sep 2011 19:34:41 -0400 http://www.farmworks.com/forum/read.php?9,64069,64957#msg-64957 http://www.farmworks.com/forum/read.php?9,64069,64957#msg-64957 KathyCline Office - MappingWed, 31 Aug 2011 11:37:09 -0400 http://www.farmworks.com/forum/read.php?9,64069,64955#msg-64955 http://www.farmworks.com/forum/read.php?9,64069,64955#msg-64955
The Export warning shows up when you write EZ250 job data within the Farm Works software.

It doesn't seem to have an effect on the export/ import into the EZ250.

The big item with this thread is the difference between using the Config file as opposed to the Get fields from USB. The tree heirarchy is maintained when using the Get fields from USB option. When using the Config file, the tree heirarchy needs to be manually reestablished within the EZ250.

Quote "Mitch,

Sorry, missed the second part of the post.

That error you are getting means that we have too many of those item being written out. The Monitor can only handle so many Supplies and Crop. You can edit what gets written out by selecting the Resource List in the Write Job Data screen. I would write out only the ones you will be using within the next few weeks. You can always perform another Write Job Data process and load the information in again.

Hope this helps!

Get Field from USB maintains the FW tree heirarchy so that one does not make a mistake and select the wrong farm for the wrong client, or the wrong field for the wrong farm or client.

Using the cfg, until you reestablish this heirarchy within the 250 you can easily make these mistakes by selecting the wrong fields for farms or clients.

If you have puntuations in the names, the jobs or events will not transfer from the 250.

The Jobs or Events and Crops are automatically written out based on what is setup in your project. You may need to go into Resources > Crops, and retire some of the ones that are not being used this year. The same with the Job Types.

Thanks]]> Nicole Yoquelet Office - MappingWed, 11 May 2011 14:01:44 -0400 http://www.farmworks.com/forum/read.php?9,64069,64125#msg-64125 http://www.farmworks.com/forum/read.php?9,64069,64125#msg-64125
My understanding was that you needed to use the Load Configuration file option and not the Get Fields when information has been written out of Farm Works. The Load Configuratioin File is not only going to load in your Client, Farms and Field but also, crop name, people, supplies. Where as the Get Field from USB option is only going to load in the Field Names if writing out in a configuration file is not an option. If you are writing out of Farm Works you need to use the Load Configuration Option.

When Reading the completed event information back into Farm Works you are given the opportunity to link those items if one does not quite match. You should not have to re-enter or create a new one, just link them to the correct one if necessary. But you should not have to edit the client properties be writing out.

Sorry for hammering on this, but I think it needs to be in order to cause less confusion down the road. Please bear with me on these observations.

When i do "write job" to the USB, in order to get my client/farm/field lists imported into the 250, the 250 should be able to Get Fields from USB in order to maintain the list heirarchy.

By importing the cfg file, the client/farm/field list needs to be re-associated within the 250. True, it is a simple matter of going through each step in order to associate each client/farm/field by selecting them one at a time within the 250. But defeats the purpose of having the heirarchy set up to begin with, within FW. Remember this for later.

In order for the "Get Fields from USB" option to work, one has to go thru the client/farm/field list within the AgGPS folder and make sure there are no commas, apostraphies,etc within the names in order for the 250 to recognize the list. Then it will be a task to "link" these once brought back into FW.

Now in FW, when one sets up a client, say "first name" Mitch, "last name" Konen, it shows up in the list as Konen, Mitch. This is the cause for error in the "write job" > "Get Fields from USB".
True, the client "Konen, Mitch" will transfer via the cfg file to the USB and the 250, and show up in the pick list of clients, but the Get Fields from USB will not work.

Now comes the big problem; when trying to transfer the jobs from the 250 back into FW via the USB, anything that has these commas, apostaphies, etc in the names will not! It has been done by having to go thru the AgGPS folder and edit the jobs to remove these unwanted puntuations, then linking. But it is a chore and not always full proof.

So making sure one does not have any puntuation marks within the names on your tree list within FW is the key.

How can this be addressed when it comes to clients?
EDIT: Display Full Name as opposed to Sorted Name!!

The EZOffice_ezg_profile is the configure file that gets written to the USB from Farm Works when you complete a Write Job Data process for the EZ Guide 250/500.

On the EZ Guide it should read [USB] EZOFFICE

Thanks]]> Nicole Yoquelet Office - MappingWed, 11 May 2011 10:50:48 -0400 http://www.farmworks.com/forum/read.php?9,64069,64120#msg-64120 http://www.farmworks.com/forum/read.php?9,64069,64120#msg-64120
But I am not seeing the .cfg file which is needed to load the configuration, or is this configuration file called EZOffice_ezg_profile? This is a Microsoft Office Outlook Configuration File.

Probably a little confusion on my part reading the Trimble tutorials and FW helps.

I will try the load config method.

Another question, when I write job to the USB to get all the info onto the USB I get a Trimble Export message that states; Warning: The following items were only partially exported. Please change your export options and select fewer items to be written. Items, Events - Limit 20, Crops - Limit 20.
What does this mean?

On the EZ-Guide 250 you need to load the config file.

1. Insert the USB Stick: Wait until the unit recognizes the USB (there will be a message that says USB Ready).

2. Select Configure Option

3. Select Data Management

4. Select Save/Load Configuration

5. Select Load a Configuration

6. Select the correct Configuration: Should say [USB] EZOFFICE.

7. If a configuration file has already been loaded, you will receive a message "You are about to replace your current settings with those from a configuration file. Press OK to Continue or I to Cancel".

8. You may see an hour glass appear, this is normal, lets you know that the EZ Guide is loading the information.

9. Once the information is loaded you will still be in the Load a Configuration screen. Select Return to Guidance button, to begin

Hope this helps!

Do you have a procedure for getting them into the 250 from the USB. I am having a little trouble with getting the list to appear within the 250 itself?
From what I have found for instructions on the 250 it should be as easy as using the Get fields from USB on the EZ250, because the 250 tells me there are none on the USB.
There is an AgGPS folder, within which is a Client folder, within which there are Farm folders, within which there are Field folders, within which there are shape files (latlon, shx, dbf, shp).
