People

This table is where you create a list of users- either people who can administrate (give them an ADMIN role) your Essential Farming data or whose hours you just want to track (give them an EMPLOYEE role). Note: if a person no longer works for you select "NOT_EMPLOYED" as their role. They will no longer have access to your EssentialFarming system.

Locations

This table is where you list out the various fields, locations, or other places against which you wish to track cost, time, or materials expended. (Cost center is an optional field for your own internal tracking purposes.)

Equipment

This table is where you list out the various pieces of equipment you use along with the material cost-per-hour (fuel, maintenance, etc.) it takes to operate that equipment.

Components

This table is where you list out the material components you use for fertilization, soil treatment, weed/pest control, and other tasks. (This will aid in field cost analysis and inventory control.) The "purchasable" field indicates this is a component you can buy (vs one you can produce) and should be 'Y' for Yes or 'N' for No

Purchases

This table is where you list out individual purchases of components that you've defined in the components table. (Cost is total cost of the purchase- NOT "cost per unit".)

Production

This table is where you enter component production/harvest information. Production is categorized by the type of component (e.g. hazelnuts) being harvested as well as the location at which it was harvested.

Mixes

This table is where you define the various fertilizations, soil treatments, or weed/pest control mixes you use. A mix can contain just one component if you purely use that component for some applications. Create/select a Mix in order to view/add new ingredients for to that mix.
