FIV (Featured Info View) Builder in CropTrak Web

InfoViews (also known as FIVs – Featured Info Views) are a VERY powerful way to look at and compare recent data from within CropTrak itself without having to go to an external reporting solution. Starting with CropTrak Web 6, FIVs are built using the CropTrak Web FIV Builder.

The attached PDF manual is very complete with detailed explanations of each of the elements that make up an InfoView. The following videos are an ordered tutorial for all the aspects of building and using FIVs in CropTrak Web.

Introduction to FIVs
 

This video is an introduction to FIVs in CropTrak Web. FIVs allow you to create your own custom reports including calculations and logic statements to define new information from your CropTrak data.

Creating a New FIV

This video shows how to build a new FIV in CropTrak Web. It uses the example of Planting Completion form to demonstrate the steps necessary to build a new FIV.

FIV Info Items

This video discusses and demonstrates how to use FIV Info Items. FIV Info Items are objects in a FIV that allow you to add predefined query templates and custom settings including calculations and logic statements.

Complex FIV Formulas

This video demonstrates how to build complex FIV formulas to provide calculations and logic statements including When, If, Then, and And statements to provide feedback and detailed reports about your data.

FIV Reports

This video provides an explanation about how to develop FIV reports in the Reports View. FIV reports are the whole point of building FIVs – they tell you about the state of your organization. FIV reports will appear under the Reports Tab after the FIV has been created and set up to run as a report. NOTE – Reports are run once an hour, so depending on when you submit your report, the batch processing may take up to an hour for a report to appear.
