Figured Insights is all about unlocking the value that good data provides. In order to access that value and paint a powerful picture with Insights, a data audit may be necessary for existing files. The Farms page in Insights scores your farm health based on a set of criteria.
To get individual farm data to a comparable standard, there are a few important metadata elements that need to be inputted, along with production and financial information.
Metadata
Effective Area
Under the Operations > Properties section of a Figured file you will see an option to add your farm area. To use this farm's data accurately at a $/ha level you will need to enter those hectares. More details on this here.
Milking Platform and Peak Cows
For any dairy clients with a milk tracker, you will also want to enter all the milking platform (ha) and peak cow values. Click into the highlighted section and enter the value, as indicated in the image below.
NOTE: you will need to do this for each season. Use the date selector up the top to navigate across the years ensuring they are entered correctly.
Basic Farm Info
Upon farm file creation (whether individually or through a setup service), you were required to specify the basic farm information such as the region and operation type. As these are also metadata elements that pull into Insights, it can pay to double-check these are correct through farm Settings > Basic Farm Info.
That summarises all the metadata elements promoting better farm health. Next, we'll look at further data health-scoring elements.
Production, Financial, and Engagement
This section highlights how Figured scores your farm health for these factors and provides some tips for general farm data upkeep. You may not require every element to be accounted for, but it's important to know what is contributing to the farm score. These factors will differ slightly across subscription types.
Production
Ensure your production is entered and up to date. If there is an unused tracker, delete or archive it
Financial
Ensure your accounts are fully categorised
If the farm is a full Figured subscription, ensure an annual plan snapshot has been taken for the current season
Creating Scenarios also promotes a higher health score, but is not essential
Engagement
File usage scored over the last 12 months for usage, including tracker activity
