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.
