Seed Mixes FAQs
These
FAQs cover the standard workflow for creating, placing, and reporting seed mixes
in Artisan.
Can I create seed mixes in
Artisan?
Yes.

allows organisations to create and maintain their own mix libraries. Seed mixes
can be created and managed as part of the organisation's planting mix library
and then added to palettes for use within projects. Creating and Editing Mixes

transform project data into project documentation and schedules. CS Artisan

Step-by-Step
- Place the seed mix
within the drawing.
- Ensure all required
mix information has been defined within the mix record.
- Open the
Reports tools.
- Insert the required
schedule.
- Configure report
settings and fields as required.
- Refresh reports
whenever planting information changes.
Verify Success
- The schedule is
generated successfully.
- Quantities are
calculated from the placed seed mix information.
- Associated mix data
is available within the report output.
- Reports update when
planting information changes.
Note:
The Artisan knowledge base confirms that schedules and reports are generated
from the intelligent data associated with palettes, labels, and mixes.
However, it does not specifically document which schedule fields are available
by default for application rates or supplier details. If these fields have
been configured within your organisation's mix and reporting standards, they
may be included in the generated schedules.
