SST Summit, Summit Plus! and Summit Professional 4.5

Automated Soil Test Import API

• This programming interface allows soil test labs to directly attach soil test results to the SST server minimizing the need for users to receive soil test result emails and manually import each file.  Currently, Servi-Tech Laboratories has implemented the API.

Cost Group Improvements

• Multiple prices within a season – a product can now have multiple prices within a cost group.  When prices are entered the user will enter an “Effective Date” that will be checked against the application date at the time of reporting.  Any number of pricing/effective date combinations can be made within a season.
• Cost Groups are now seasonspecific – Cost Groups are now assigned to a specific season.  This has been done in order to reduce the chances of a single edit changing the prices across multiple seasons.  Users can now open a cost group and click “Save As…” to duplicate a cost group for the next season.

Combine VRT Nutrient Recs

• Management zone based FarmRite recommendations can now be merged together into a single recommendation.  An example of this is where a user places two different recs within a center pivot field, one for the corners and one for the circle, but wants to spread them as a single application. In the order placement screen, when the user is selecting management zones, he/she now has the option to check a box that says “Combine as a single recommendation”. Also in the Maps section of Summit a user can combine two nutrient recommendations by selecting one and then choosing the menu option “Merge Data”.

Replaced Image Projection library

• In an effort to support newer imagery formats, namely MrSID® Generation 3 files, SST has replaced the image projection library in Summit. The new library, while wide ranging in support of popular projections, does not support as many options as the former version. Regretfully, this means that there is a chance that images imported in the past will no longer be visible in Summit.
• Field level images created from general images – After digitizing a field from a “General Image” the user now has the option of creating a “Field Specific Image” for the extents of the new field. This option is controlled by the check mark on the naming screen.

SST Proprietary Map Control put into the digitizing section.

• SST is working diligently to replace the existing 3 rd party software that has been used as the map control since the inception of Summit. In this version a new SST proprietary map control has been implemented in the digitizing/field editing section of Summit. Future versions will see the new map control implemented in the Maps, Records, and Plans sections of Summit. MrSID Generation 3 files will currently only display in the digitizing section until a future release.

Combine fields

• Functionality for combining two fields has been added.  Overlapping fields can now be merged together and data will be retained from both fields.
  

Syngenta Eagle View Additions

• Import field operation data and create As-Applied maps (i.e., spraying data) for the following formats:
  Satloc, Del Norte

• Default Flight Plan Dashboard filter is now set to ”Pending.”
  
• On the Manage Orders dashboard, after clicking “Release” and then “Save, ” a pop-up message notifies the user “Save Complete” with an “OK” button.
  
• In the Flight Plan dashboard, when a user tries to export a previously exported field a warning message “ ‘CFF Name’ was previously exported” is displayed. 
  
• When placing an order the Company name is now displayed with the location. For example, “Perry, IA – Joe’s Flying Service” is now displayed as “My Coop – Perry, IA – Joe’s Flying Service.”
