🔰 Getting started: the upCampo Base Structure

To use the upCampo platform correctly, it is essential to start by creating the base structure. This structure organizes the data and ensures that all future information (such as work orders, product usage, scouting and harvests) is correctly linked to each season.

1. 🏢 Company and Branches

  • Company: represents the main grouping of the operation.
    This is in the File > Company menu.
  • Branches (Farms): the company's production units. Each branch can have its own separate areas, inventories, crews and operations.
    This is in the File > Farm menu.

2. 👥 Users

  • Register the users who will have access to the system and set their permissions.
  • A user can have access to one or several farms, as needed.
    This is in the File > Users menu.

3. 🌱 Setting up the Crop Structure

After the administrative structure, start registering the crop elements:

  • Season: represents the crop cycle (e.g., Season 2024/2025).
    This is in the Crops > Season menu.
  • Crop: which crops your farm grows (e.g., soybean, corn, cotton).
    This is in the Crops > Crop menu.
  • Variety: the specific cultivars of each crop (e.g., BRS 1010). It can be registered later, as needed.
    This is in the Crops > Variety menu.
  • Field: subdivisions of the farm, usually used as management units. Each field belongs to a single farm (branch).
    This is in the Crops > Field menu.

4. 🌾 Season Planting

This is the central record of the operation. There is a dedicated article for this screen here.

In Season Planting, you will:

  • Link the Field to a Season, a Crop and one or more Varieties
  • Enter the planted area and other characteristics of this planting
  • Define how data will be split by variety, if applicable
⚠️ Important: This record is what gives every operation its context. Everything done on the farm (such as applications, harvests, analyses, pest scouting) will be linked to Season Planting. This ensures each action is associated with the correct season, allowing accurate analysis by field, by crop and by production cycle.

This is the central foundation of the platform. Everything else builds on it.

❓ Frequently asked questions

Where do I start setting up upCampo on my farm?

In this order: first the administrative structure (Company, Farms and Users, in the File menu), then the crop structure (Season, Crop, Variety and Field) and, finally, Season Planting, which ties it all together.

What is the difference between Company and Farm in upCampo?

The Company is the main grouping of the operation. Farms (branches) are that company's production units, each with its own separate areas, inventories, crews and operations.

Can a user access more than one farm?

Yes. In the record under File > Users you define which farms each person can access; it can be just one or several, as needed.

Why is Season Planting considered the central record?

Because it gives context to everything that happens on the farm. Applications, harvests, analyses and pest scouting are linked to Season Planting, and that is what lets you analyze data by field, by crop and by production cycle.

Do I need to register varieties right at the start?

No. Varieties can be registered later, as needed. What must be in place before operating is Season, Crop and Field.
