In preparation for the harvesting activity, a harvesting operation should be created in ForestHQ.
These operations are projects that will contain all the information of the harvesting operation.
To setup a new "Harvesting Operation", you would need:
Name of the operation, manager, status, notes and other metadata
Boundaries of the area that will be harvested
Before start, you would need to create a Forest Property, if you have not done this before.
There are different ways of creating or importing a Forest Property.
Step 1
Within the Forest project, the activities options are placed on the left side panel.
To create an operation, select the "Activities" tab and select "New Activity"
Step 2
To successfully create an operation, the user must fill out all of the required fields:
Name: Unique name or ID for the Activity that shall be used for identification.
Category: Select one of the harvesting activities from the given list.
After the operation has been created, follow the workflow defined on the right-side panel to get measurement analysis and forest valuations.
All the measurement and valuation activities have the following steps:
Inventory / targets (optional)
Set up a Machine
Upload Harvester Files
Production results
You can also create several activities at once listing them in a XLS file and using the import tool. Learn more
