When to use Map Management vs. Map Prescription

  • Map Management: browse / import / share field boundaries. Doesn't run prescriptions.
  • Map Prescription: draw boundaries inline, generate VRA shapefiles. Uses the same fields under the hood.

You can draw a field in the prescription wizard and it appears in Map Management automatically.
