Before you collect samples in DecipherAg Mobile you will need to:
Already have registered as a DecipherAg user in the web.
Download the app from the Apple App Store for iOS or Google Play for Android devices.
Log into the app. Ensure you are in good reception for that part.
Select your job from the Collect list.
Once you've selected your job you'll be taken to the Job Details screen.
Job Details Screen
The map will show your location (light blue dot), orange pins for sites that need to be sampled, dark blue pins for sites that have been sampled, and the farm boundaries for that job. The Job Details screen will show the progress of the job, the lab details, and the billing details. Scroll down to see the list of sites within that job. You can drag the Job details screen up and down to see more of the map or job details.
Start sampling by clicking on a site on the map or list of sites to open that site's details and navigate to that site.
When navigating to a site, DecipherAg Mobile indicates the distance from your location to the site via the use of two concentric circles 50m and 20m.
Sample Site Screen
Details of the job requirements at that site are on the card at the bottom of the screen. You can drag the card down to see more of the map and drag it up again to view the site details.
Scan - Once you've taken your sample, tap on Scan (next to the correct depth for soil sampling). Your phone's camera will be used to take a photo, with the option to turn on your phone's torch. If your phone's camera is not working or you do not have a barcode to scan you can manually enter the barcode or click Bar code not available on sampling bag? and this will generate one for you to write on the bag.
+ Sampling Depth - If you need to add additional depths to the site, tap + Sampling Depth. A new depth will be added which will default to the next range of 10cm. You can modify this by clicking on the task to edit the sampling depths or test types. You can also delete the depth here.
+ Paddock Information - Paddock information should be added during the job creation process, but if it isn't, enter it by tapping + Paddock Information. After entering the paddock information once, it will be offered to copy it when sampling the next site.
Move Site - If you need to move a site, simply click on the Move Site button in the top left of the map, re-position the site using the target, then tap Done.
Delete Site - if you need to delete a site, simply tap on Delete Site. Note that you cannot delete a site while there is a scanned bag attached to any of the tasks for that site, so you'll need to remove them.
Once all tasks for a site have been completed tap on Finish to close the Sample Site card. You'll be taken back to the Job Details card, and the pin for that site will switch from orange to blue.
Note: You can submit data from a job at any time. When you submit, details of any sites you have completed will be queued to be sent to the lab. When you have a strong enough signal, any queued jobs will be sent. You must have the app open for these details to be sent. If you have sites that haven't been sampled, pressing submit will not complete/finish the job but instead sends off the information for what has been sampled, allowing you to complete the job in chunks.
