2 years ago A second relevant user request from the same document, which relates to map visualisations:
"Hidden/ selected layers: Not all the areas need to be visible on the farm map at any one time. For example, we regularly map areas of the fields prone to flooding using a combination of PT Mapper and the Trimble Geo. A similar case applies with underground cables, water pipes, and observations on things like black grass patches. These geospatial records need to be kept somewhere, and the ideal place to keep them is in FarmOS (although that isn’t always essential). However, these layers don’t always have to be visible and in some cases, we may only want to be visible to certain users such as the farm manager."
As described in the document attached to https://github.com/Rothamsted-Ecoinformatics/farm_rothamsted/issues/70#issue-1093250757:
"When doing experiments or selecting multiple fields, or multiple areas within a field, those fields or plots would be highlighted in yellow on a map which could be printed off alongside the quick form. In an ideal world, any upcoming tasks would also be linked to a map, which can be accessed and visualised by the scientists so that they can look at areas where work is planned and schedule their sampling accordingly (although this would only work if the farm team regularly updated the list of tasks as a part of the daily workflow)."
