Map Setup- Editing Paddock / Pasture Boundaries

This article explains how to edit existing paddock/pasture boundaries in the Map Setup Screen.

If you have recently built or removed fences in existing paddocks that have a grazing history, there are other steps you need to take BEFORE you edit the paddock boundaries in Map Setup.

Please consult these Help Articles first.

Paddock/Pasture Splits

Paddock/Pastures - Merging together

Simply editing paddock boundaries without first entering a split or merge, may corrupt existing graze history for the affected paddocks.

Step 1: Access the map setup screen

  • Click on the cog wheel Cog Wheel in the top right of the screen. (1)

  • Locate the Land section of the dashboard

  • Click on "Map Setup". (2)

This will open the Map Setup screen with your current farm map at the top of the screen and your paddock/pasture list at the bottom.

Step 2: Open the 'Add Paddocks and Watering Points' tab.

  • Click on the “Add paddocks/Pastures and Watering Points” tab.

Step 3: Locate the paddock/pasture that you wish to edit the boundary of

  • Scroll down the page. Your paddock/pasture list will be displayed below your map.

  • Scroll down your paddock/pasture list until you find the name of the new paddocks/pastures that you have created.

Step 4: Edit the boundary

  • Click on 'edit' to the right of the paddock/pasture name.

  • Wait for the 'Paddock/pasture boundary setup screen' to open.

  • Think of the blue dots as strainer or corner posts.

  • Click and hold down with the left mouse key on a blue dot (post).

  • Drag the blue dot to move the boundary.

  • Release the left mouse key when the post is in position.

  • Double click anywhere on the screen when finished.

  • Repeat until the boundary (fence line) is in the correct position.

  • Click on 'clear boundary' if you wish to start again from scratch.

Hint: Above the map area you can see:

  • The area of the paddock that has been calculated by MaiaGrazing from the current boundary location. (a)

  • Coordinates of the mouse cursor. If you have GPS coordinates of your corner posts this may help you to draw your fence lines in hard to see areas on the map. (b)

Step 5: Save your paddock boundary

  • Click on 'Save' in the bottom right corner when you are finished.
