The Crop Profiler application will launch and open the Main Menu screen. The Main Menu screen acts as a control panel for the database, allowing you to perform actions and navigate through information. The Main Menu screen is covered in depth in the next section of this document. At the Main Menu you have the choice of starting a new crop profile, or selecting an existing profile. You can jump directly to different parts of the profile as well. You can also print the entire profile, or specific parts of it, and export the profile in a format suitable for word processors.
If you choose to enter profile data, the process is fairly straightforward. The program is organized into different data entry screens that each contain fields in which you enter data. You can use the tab-buttons to move between screens - the frontmost tab indicates the current screen. In the picture below, "Cultural Practices" is the current screen.
Another way to move between screens is to press Command-1 (Control-1 on Windows) to move forward one screen and Command-2 (Control-2 on Windows) to move back one screen. To enter data into a field, either click in the field or use the tab key on the keyboard to move between fields. Don't worry if you type more data into the field than is displayed; the data is still there.
