After following the steps to install and launch the application, you can now start using it. Begin by opening http://localhost:3000 (or http://localhost:5050 if you are using preview mode) in a browser.

Currently, there are multiple demo accounts that come with the installation. Admin and Gardener-1 through Gardener-4. All of them have the password 1234. Each one has different permissions for different Companies and Gardens.

For an exploration of the app, it's recommended to choose the Admin account. Simply enter the username (Admin) in the Email field and the password (1234) in the password field and press login.

Alternatively, you can create a new account by clicking on Sign up for free underneath the login fields. Simply follow the steps on screen until you reach the Verification step. Since verification isn't implemented yet, just press confirm without entering anything.

Next you will be prompted to create a company and a garden. Follow the steps on screen, and you will end up on the same dashboard as you would have with logging in.

The main application #

There are three main tabs: Dashboard, Crops and 3D. Every tab consists of widgets. Every widget can be toggled with the widgets button in the top right corner. If you see an empty page, make sure some widgets are turned on.

Changing current company and garden #

In the application, first click on the profile picture in the top right corner, followed by Administration. Select the company and garden you want and click on save.

Dashboard #

The dashboard contains a widget showing the current and forecasted weather and a map showing the current garden. Additionally, you can see a list titled Soil Parameter, which displays soil data. Hovering over a row highlights the location of the corresponding sensor on the map.

Crops #

The crops tab consists of a table showing the beds of the current garden. Clicking on one of the beds shows it's crops.

To the right side of the table is a map of the current garden. Green markers show the location of all the beds listed in the table and hovering over one of them highlights the corresponding row. Clicking on one of the bed markers has the same effect as clicking on a bed in the table, the crops are shown.

When crops are shown in the table, their locations are marked on the map in the same way as the beds locations. Like with the beds, hovering over them on the map highlights the associated row in the table.

For both beds and crops there is a button in the 3D column to the right of the table. For more information, see 3D.

3D#

The 3D tab has the same table and map as the Crops tab, the map is just larger. Just like the Crops tab, beds and crops each have buttons in the 3D column of the table.

Clicking the button brings you to a 3D model of the bed. The model can be rotated with the left and moved with the right mouse button. The scroll wheel can be used to zoom.

If you clicked on the 3D button for a crop, an overlay with information will be shown.

Settings #

Once you are logged in, click on the profile picture in the top right corner, and then on Settings.

Change user info#

On the left side you can change user info like username and password. Just change the displayed values and click save.

Manage company and garden, including permissions#

The menu on the right side allows you to add or remove permissions for other users to access the current company or garden. Additionally, if you have the required permissions, you can delete the current company and garden. Lastly, at the top of the right side is a button to add or modify a picture of the garden that will be displayed on the map.

Logout #

To log out the current user, simply click on the profile picture and select Logout.
