Diary

The Diary tab in the GreenCast Connect (GCX) mobile app provides a clear, chronological record of past conditions, alerts, and activities related to your turf and soil management.

Previously known as the Events tab, the Diary has been redesigned to make historical information easier to review, filter, and understand—independent of push notification settings.


Navigating the Events Tab

  • Date Navigation:

    • The current date is displayed at the top of the screen.

    • Click through previous days to view events for specific dates.

The Diary always shows past events only, even if push notifications are turned off.


Viewing Daily Events

Each day’s events are listed in chronological order and may include the following based on user preference:

  • Sensor Data

    • Historical records of soil moisture, temperature, and salinity

    • Logged when values exceeded or dropped below defined thresholds

  • Weather Conditions

    • Past weather events such as heavy rain, frost, high humidity, or heat

  • Pest Risk

    • Logged pest risk levels (moderate or higher) based on conditions at that time

  • Growth Potential

    • Recorded growth conditions based on temperature and environmental factors

  • GDD (Growing Degree Days)

    • Historical GDD values and growth-related insights

  • Notes

    • User-added notes documenting observations, tasks, or reminders

    • Photos attached to notes appear directly in the Diary for visual context


Diary vs Push Notifications

  • Diary entries

    • Always historical

    • Visible regardless of notification settings

    • Serve as a permanent activity log

  • Push notifications

    • Focus on future risks and predicted conditions

    • Controlled through Notification Settings

    • Delivered based on thresholds and work schedule

Diary text now explicitly reflects this distinction to improve clarity.


Filtering Events

You can customize what appears in your Diary:

  1. Tap the filter (funnel) icon in the top-right corner

  2. Select one or more categories:

    • Pest Risk

    • GDD (Growing Degree Days)

    • Weather

    • Growth Potential

    • Sensor Data

    • Notes

  3. Tap Apply Filter

To remove filters:

  • Tap Reset at the top-right of the Filter page

Filtering affects only what you see on the Diary page and does not change notification settings.


Unread Indicators

  • New or unread diary entries may appear with a red dot

  • A numbered red dot at the bottom of the screen indicates the total number of unread entries

Duplicate entries are now automatically removed to keep the Diary clean and readable.


Clearing Notifications

To manage unread items:

  • Clear a single entry: Swipe the entry to the right

  • Clear multiple entries: Tap the eraser icon in the top-right corner and choose:

    • Clear All Unread – Marks all entries as read

    • Keep All Unread – Leaves unread entries unchanged

Clearing entries does not delete historical data—it only updates read status.



Adding Notes

You can manually log observations at any time:

  1. Tap the plus (+) button in the bottom-right corner

  2. Enter your note text

  3. Optionally attach a photo

  4. Save the note

The note is added to the Diary for that day as a historical entry.
