Should I add a field boundary or working boundary?

Created by Nick Walters, Modified on Tue, 15 Jul at 9:04 AM by Nick Walters

Each field can have the following 2 boundary types:

  • Working boundary
  • Field boundary

Field boundaries represent the official field parcel

Working boundaries represent the area typically worked


Within BlackBox Core and the Patchwork range of GPS devices, it is the working boundary that is key. The working boundary is always used when generating map data and it is the working boundary that is sent to any BlackBox device when allocating tasks to field operators.


While the field boundary is useful to have for official records, it is recommended that the working boundary is set up first.
