Garden with Insight v1.0 Help: Harvest report editor

Use the harvest report editor to change harvest reports and to create new ones.

The harvest report editor window

At the top of the harvest report editor window is a list of all harvest reports in the garden. Choose a harvest report from the list; information about that report will fill the rest of the window. Under the harvest report list, two panels contain information about the report: the Show panel and the Sort by panel.

Show panel

In the Show panel, you choose what information you want to include in the harvest report. You can choose from these variables:

General amounts: count, dry biomass (in grams), wet biomass (in grams, including water), energy (in calories), water content (as a percentage), protein (in grams), fat (in grams), and carbohydrate (in grams).

Minerals (in milligrams): calcium, phosphorus, iron, sodium, and potassium.

Vitamins (in milligrams except for Vitamin A): Vitamin A value (including precursors) (IU), thiamin (vitamin B2), riboflavin (vitamin B6), niacin (vitamin B12), and ascorbic acid (vitamin C).

Custom 1 and Custom 2: for information you might want to input and use for harvested items

All this information is input using the harvest item editor, accessed in the browser.

Show variables by copying them from the list of available variables on the right to the show list on the left. Use the buttons in the Sort panel in this way:

gif/00000091.gif Add all variables selected in the right list to the current report. You can select multiple variables by holding down the shift key (for variables in a row) or the control key (for variables not in a row).

gif/00000092.gif Remove all variables selected in the show list from the current report.

gif/00000003.gif Move all variables selected in the show list up one position in the current report.

gif/00000051.gif Move all variables selected in the show list down one position in the current report.

Sort by panel

The Sort by panel works in the same way as the Show panel. Copy available sorting groups from the list of available sorting groups on the right to the sort by list on the left. Use the buttons in the Sort by panel in this way:

gif/00000091.gif Add all sorting groups selected in the right list to the current report. You can select multiple sorting groups by holding down the shift key (for sorting groups in a row) or the control key (for sorting groups not in a row).

gif/00000092.gif Remove all sorting groups selected in the sort by list from the current report.

gif/00000003.gif Move all sorting groups selected in the sort by list up one position in the current report. This means that you are changing the order of sorting.

Reset harvest list panel

Under the Sort by panel, you have some choices that affect all reports. Since the harvest list takes up some memory, you may choose to clear it out regularly. To change how often the harvest list is reset, choose a month from the top box (or choose Never from the list), then choose after how many years to reset the list from the bottom box.

If you want to clear the list out right now, click the Reset now button. You can undo resetting the harvest list either by clicking the Cancel button of the harvest report editor, or by choosing Undo from the Edit menu after you click OK on the harvest report editor.

Other buttons

The buttons on the right side of the harvest report editor carry out commands on the harvest reports. Click Import or Export to save and load all your reports to a tab-delimited text file (see the text file warning).

Click New to create an empty harvest report or Copy to create a copy of the selected report. Click Rename to change the name of the selected report. Click Delete to remove the selected report from the list. You cannot undo deleting a harvest report, but you can click Cancel to remove all changes you made in this dialog.
