The evolution continues with AgExpert Analyst 2015

Change is inevitable. Just look at the weather outside or read a news headline. Luckily, change can be a good thing, and in the case of AgExpert Analyst 2015, it’s very good. Outstanding, in fact.

AgExpert Analyst 2015 is rolling out and we’re giving you a sneak peek at just some of the changes you can expect:

Budget tool overhaul

We’ve overhauled the look and feel of the budgeting tool in AgExpert Analyst. You’ll find it more intuitive and easier to use, based on industry best practices and customer recommendations.

Reports

Now you can add a customizable footer to your reports, including your company name and logo.

Transaction

You can look forward to faster transaction entries. When you’re changing the transaction type on an existing transaction, the header portion will not clear itself. This allows you to continue without having to restart each time. However, the details section will continue to clear if you change the transaction type.

Upgrade to AgExpert Analyst 2015

To upgrade to AgExpert Analyst 2015, make sure that you close out of AgExpert Analyst. But what if you’re running an old version? You’ll need to upgrade to 2012-04 or 2012-05. Learn more about converting from an older version here. 

Watch for more features and enhancements to come. We’ll post another blog at the release of the new version.

How to sync Field Manager PRO and 360 with FM PRO Mobile

So you’ve downloaded our app – FM PRO Mobile. That’s great. Now you’re wondering, what’s next? Don’t worry, we’ll walk you through the basic steps to properly sync your app with Field Manager PRO and Field Manager PRO 360.

First, let’s go over some general rules to keep in mind when synching FM PRO Mobile:

1. Only one crop year is in the sync triangle at a time. The only place that multiple crop years exist is on the desktop.
2. Establish a process, either by time of day or by order of tasks for your sync. For example, always sync to the cloud from the app at the end of the hour/day/week. This is vital when there are multiple apps in play so we know when it’s appropriate to sync to the desktop.
3. Once you’ve established your process, stick to it. If you feel you need to change it up, check with support first. We’ll be sure it won’t cause problems in the way your data is moving from the desktop to the app, and back to the desktop.

Here are seven steps for a successful sync process:

1. Sync from the desktop.
2. Sign in on the app.
3. Download the farm to the app.
4. Enter records/make changes.
5. Sync changes up to the cloud.
6. Sign out on the app.
7. Start over at step one.

Who wants an easier year-end process?

Who wants an easier year-end process?

If you said “no”, then carry on with your day. For the rest of the world who wants a simplified year-end process – read on. 

With AgExpert Analyst, year-end is easier than ever. And next fiscal year is just a couple clicks away.

• No more dealing with different year-end modes 
• Most data files restrictions have been lifted from the Accountant’s copy.

Starting the Year-End Process

Go the Setup menu and Click on Fiscal Years. Then click on the Add Fiscal Year button. To find out more, read the Managing Year-end article. 

Creating the Accountant’s copy

Once the Fiscal year has been created, you’ll need to create the Accountant’s copy from the file Menu. 

Your accountant must have access to the Accountant’s copy of AgExpert Analyst. They’re not a current user of AgExpert Analyst? Get them to call our sales team at 1-800-667-7893. They can become an Exclusive Plus member or an AgExpert Analyst Certified Adviser to gain access to the AgExpert Analyst Accountant’s copy.

Why would your accountant want access to AgExpert Analyst?

In a word, convenience. While the file is with the accountant, you can continue working on your set of books. Your accountant can make changes to the previous year while you’ll be able to continue on with your new fiscal year.

Once you get the file back from your accountant, you’ll need to import the file back into AgExpert Analyst by going to File, Import Accountant’s copy.

What If your accountant gives you the year-end adjustments to do yourself?

Undo the Accountant’s copy from the File Menu and change the fiscal year back to the prior year. Then you can enter the adjustments. Once that’s complete, simply change the fiscal year back to the current year and continue on with the data entry. 

This new Fiscal Year Management lets you go back and forth between years simply by changing the fiscal year in the Setup Menu.

Top five things to remember about webinars

Top five things to remember about webinars

You know how people joke about using computers for good or evil? Well a webinar is definitely for good, but it doesn’t always feel that way, especially if you’re a newbie or have trouble logging on to one. In case you didn’t know, a webinar or web-based seminar, lets you connect, share and discuss information through the Internet.

FCC Management Software uses webinars to present our software products, provide training sessions, and to host meetings with farmers. We also offer a webinar speaker series. Because webinars are a new to many of us, we thought we’d outline 5 tips to remember when using webinars:

• Check the local time. FCC Management Software webinars are communicated with the time listed in the Eastern Time Zone. The Eastern Time Zone observes Standard and Daylight Savings times at different points of the year. Be sure to double check what time our events are in your time zone. If you need some help you can always go to a time zone converter.  
• Log on early. Just like for an in-person meeting, it’s polite to show up to webinars a few minutes early. We recommend logging on to the webinar about 10 minutes before the start time to ensure your computer has time to load. If this is your first webinar, be sure to log on 15 to 20 minutes early just to ensure all goes smooth.
• Mute your phone line. Because webinars allow you to log in from home, feel free to get comfortable; grab a snack, watch with others. Just be sure to mute your phone during the session – no one wants to hear you cough or your side conversations. This ensures that the webinar audio is clear for everyone.
• Ask questions. Our webinars are run by facilitators (the ones presenting) and a moderator (someone who keeps the webinar on time and structured). The moderator will at times open the phone line for questions. This could be during or at the end of the session. We usually reserve a full Q & A session at the end of each webinar, so be sure to ask your questions.
• Have Fun. We try to keep the presentations lively and interesting (even if we are often talking about record keeping), and encourage positive attendee participation. Since FCC is a national company, most sessions are coast to coast – you might learn about agriculture from other parts of Canada.

When it comes to apps, why should Apple and Android users have all the fun?

When it comes to apps, why should Apple and Android users have all the fun?

BlackBerry users deserve some love, too. And thanks to a new BlackBerry operating system, they’re closer to enjoying what everyone else has taken for granted – access to some great apps.

With the release of BlackBerry 10.2.1, BlackBerry is making it easier to install Android apps, including AgExpert Mobile and FM PRO Mobile.

Sure, the previous operating system allowed BlackBerry users to attempt the installation of some Android apps, but it wasn’t easy. If you’re tech savvy, you could convert Android files in .BAR, and maybe those apps would work.

But with BlackBerry’s new operating system, users can install Android apps using the .APK files – an easier, albeit lengthy, method.

Ready to learn how? We’ve outlined a step-by-step document to help you.

Remember, based on our quality assurance tests, these apps should work properly on your BlackBerry smartphone. However, these Android apps weren’t designed to run on a BlackBerry. We can’t guarantee you’ll have a flawless experience using an Android app or that you won’t experience any app crashes. FCC Management Software can’t troubleshoot any issues for your BlackBerry smartphone.

Also, if you’re a Field Manager PRO 360 user, use the FM PRO Mobile app on an Android or iOS device. The GIS functionality doesn’t work properly on any BlackBerry devices and will make the app crash due to limitations with the access to mapping services on BlackBerry smartphones.

Introducing FCC Management Software Care Plans

Introducing FCC Management Software Care Plans

What do you need from your software? Are you eager to study and learn every aspect so you can get the most from it and your operation? Or, are you comfortable in your abilities and happy using the system as is?

Everyone’s needs are different. With this in mind, we’ve changed the way we provide customer service packages.

In the past, we offered five different plans: AgExpert Analyst, Field Manager PRO, Ultimate (which covered both products) and Ultimate 360. But as of December 1, 2013, we’re simplifying things. Now there are three care plans: Basic, Essential and Premium.

Rather than picking a plan based on your software, you’ll choose a plan that’s right for what you need. Expect more updates, more learning opportunities, and more support when you need it. In short, you’re going to get more value for your money.

Introducing the FCC Management Software Care Plans:

Basic

If all you need are basic software updates, this plan is for you. It’s a no-frills package that just gives you updates as they become available.

Essential

This plan gives you everything you need to stay on top of your game: all the software updates, access to the online community, plus great learning opportunities through Here to Help webinars, monthly emails, and technical support including remote access to your computer.

Premium

This is the best plan available. Enjoy everything in the Essential plan, and a lot more: priority call-in support, online chat support, be the first to receive product updates and take advantage of advanced training sessions, webinars and tips from industry speakers.

When it comes to software, everyone’s needs are different. Now you can choose the care plan that meets yours.
