Is it possible to add text data to the MetWatch disease information?
Yes! You can add text information to the top (disease) panel of MetWatch using a trick involving the menu item Load / Spray Diary. Clients have reported using this feature to add text information to MetWatch output ranging from peticide applications to an organic grower’s displaying phases of the moon. 1. Setup the data to show in a spreadsheet with one column being the date(s) where information is to be shown, and the column immediately to the right containing the information to display. Each text string can be up to 5 characters in length. 2. Ensure that the date format of the cells containing the date(s) is set to dd/mm/yyyy which you do by highlighting the relevant cells, selecting Format/Cells/Number/Date and setting to dd/mm/yyyy. 3. Next highlight the cells containing the date/text data, and copy it to the windows clipboard (ie Edit/Copy). 4. Paste the information into MetWatch with the Load/SprayDiary option in MetWatch. Copying text data into MetWatch is very useful for report
