Defining a work area

Work areas are used to group weeds, or weed patches in an area.   Work areas can then be assigned to volunteers or contractors.  Work areas can overlap or be nested inside larger work areas.

 

You can add a work area before or after adding weed. Any new weeds added within the bounds of a work area are automatically included as part of the work area.

 

Under the “Weeds” tab under your project title, click on Add new.  A list options will appear in a drop down menu.  Select Work area from the list.

 

Weedmanager will zoom out to the full extent of your project and you will see the “Create Work Area” form and map tools (see below).  Zoom in and pan to the area you wish to define as a work area.  Choose the polygon map tool to draw the boundaries of your work area and enter a name.  Save to finish data entry.  The work area will appear as a blue lined polygon.  The example below shows a work area across all three weeds.
