Understand farm analyses

Helpdesk
  • Updated

An introductory video to the old OverseerFM farm account dashboard which helps users to understand the different types of analyses, understanding the information which is shown on the analyses screen and how to share analyses.

Type of analyses

An analysis describes a farm systems for a specific purpose. OverseerFM allows you to choose from three types of analysis:

  • A Year End Analysis to record historical information about how the farm is currently operating. There can only be one Year End analysis for any given year. These analyses are used to baseline an analyse change over time.
  • A Predictive Analysis to assess future farming systems. You can use this for information farm environment plans, consent and fertiliser plans.
  • A scenario analysis to develop "what if" scenarios to assess specific changes.

Visibility of analyses

Analyses can be set to have different levels of visibility:

  • My Organisation - this means the analysis is only visible to members of the same organisation as the user who created it. This is the initial setting for Predictive and Scenario analyses. 
  • My Organisation and farm owners - visible to members of the same organisation as the user who created it + members of the organisation which has Owner access to the farm account.  
  • All users with farm access - this is the default setting for Year End analyses. 

Visibility can be escalated through these settings using the "Share" button. Visibility can ONLY be escalated, not worked back so fewer users can see an analysis:
