Understanding The App Layout

This article shows you a high level look at the app layout to show you where tools and features live.

The App On Your Phone

First up, Pasture.io is a web browser application designed to work seamlessly on both larger screens like your computer and smaller devices such as your phone or tablet.

While it’s more user-friendly on a larger screen, you can still perform all the necessary tasks right from your phone when you’re out in the paddock. Here’s a quick guide on how to add the app to your home screen for easy access.

Where Is That Tool?

Below is a screenshot from a computer screen with numbered sections to help you find the tool you need. Feel free to click around (in the app itself)—you can’t break anything.

  1. Administrative Settings: Manage farm and user settings here.
  2. Pio, Your AI Farm Consultant: Ask Pio anything to do with farming.
  3. Menu Options: View, edit and create fertiliser and spraying applications, grazing, planting, and harvest events, utilise feed calculators, view herd and feed inventories, assign workers tasks, and more.
  4. Farm Dashboard: Click “Farm” to return to the main dashboard from anywhere in the app.
  5. Contextual Column: This column changes based on your current task (e.g., showing fertiliser record details when creating a fertiliser record).
  6. Map Button: Toggle the map view, change overlays, show GPS tracking, or export the map.
  7. List Button: Toggle the list view, customise what’s displayed, and adjust settings via the top-right menu.
  8. Reports: View the predictive feed wedge and other charts and reports.
  9. Filters: Apply filters by Tags, Irrigations, Usages, Herds, and Date Ranges to see specific data, such as average paddock growth rate over the past 12 months or amount of fertiliser applied.
  10. Action Bar: Select paddocks from the Map, List, or Reports, then use the Action Bar to create manual pasture readings, record fertiliser applications, bulk edit paddocks, and more.

You'll be familiar with the app layout soon enough, but if a tool goes missing (in your pocket...), remember you can always refer back to this help article here, or reach out to support for guidance.
