Uploading Files

​

Upload basics

​

Folder structure rules

• Keep folder names exactly as they appear (e.g., TASKDATA, RCD, AgData)
• Preserve the complete folder hierarchy
• Don’t create new folders, rename existing ones, or move files around
• Don’t manually collect individual files into a new folder

​

Shapefile uploads

​

Requirements

shapefile.zip
├── *.shp  (required — geometry)
├── *.dbf  (required — attributes)
├── *.shx  (required — shape index)
├── *.prj  (required — projection)
└── *.cpg  (optional — encoding)

​

Recognized column names

• Crop: Crop, Crop_Type, Product_Pr
• Moisture: Moisture, Moisture__, MOISTURE
• Yield (volume/area): Yld_Vol_We, Yield__Wet, WET_YIELD
• Yield (mass/area): Yield_Mass, Yld_Mass_W (wet), Yld_Mass_D, dryyldlba (dry)
• Yield (total wet mass): WetMass, wetMass, Harvest_We
• Yield (total wet volume): wetVolume
• Yield (dry volume/area): Yld_Vol_Dr, DryYldbuac

• Crop: Crop, Crop_Type, Product_Pr
• Seed rate: seedRate, SeedCount, Rt_Apd_Ct_

• Applied rate: AppliedRat, Rt_Apd_Liq, actualRate
• Product: Product, product, Products

​

Exporting from SMS (Ag Leader)

1. In SMS Project Workspace, right-click the operation to export
2. Select Export → paper icon → “Export to a Generic File Format”
3. Choose Generic and Shape as the file type
4. Click Export Selections and Settings to configure columns. You can rename columns here. For example, to include Crop in harvest files: select Property → Product Management Item Type → add Crop Type → rename to “Crop”
5. Save, then select all four output files (.shp, .dbf, .prj, .shx), compress into a ZIP, and upload

​

Troubleshooting uploads

• Confirm the file is a ZIP (all uploads must be ZIP files)
• Check that the ZIP contains all required components for the file type
• Verify file size is under 3 GB
• For shapefiles, confirm the .dbf includes recognized columns for the operation type

• Verify the original folder structure from the monitor is intact
• Don’t rename folders (TASKDATA, RCD, AgData must keep their original names)
• For ISOXML, the TASKDATA folder must contain both *.XML and *.bin files
• For Ag Leader INTEGRA, both *.agdata and *.agsetup must be present
• Check nesting depth (Leaf looks up to 2 levels deep in nested ZIPs)

• Double-check that the folder structure matches what’s expected for the equipment
• Make sure files haven’t been manually reorganized or flattened
