Tips for Naming Equipment
Use clear, descriptive names that help identify equipment quickly:
Good names:
- “John Deere 5075E Tractor - Main”
- “Irrigation Pump #1 - North Field”
- “Sprayer - 500L Tank”
Avoid:
- “Tractor” (too generic)
- “Equipment 1” (not descriptive)
If you have multiple similar items, add numbers or location identifiers to distinguish them.
Assigning to Farms
When you assign equipment to a farm:
- It appears when filtering equipment by that farm
- It’s easier to track equipment location
- Activity planning can show relevant equipment
You can change the assigned farm at any time by editing the equipment.
