7. 7 Data Entry Steps There are two distinct parts to data entry There are two distinct parts to data entry 1.First, recording site information in the setup form; including assigning the site a unique location name, providing location and host information, 2.Then, uploading observational data for that location

8. 8 Step 1. Location Setup Form

9. 9 Location Setup Fields  Location Type : The type of location  Required Acceptable values: –Sentinel - any site that is monitored on a regular basis, according with the sentinel protocol specific to the host and/or organism being monitored and to the region. A sentinel site can be planted early, or not; can have multiple or single maturity groups or hosts; can be planted specifically for the sentinel network or be located in a research or commercial field. –Single Observation - can represent any type of location: production field (commercial), research station, etc, and is monitored only once, or the expectation is that the site will be monitored once. –Repeated Observation - can be any location where the monitoring is expected to occur on a some type of a regular basis, be it weekly, bi-weekly or monthly.

10. 10 Location Setting : Clarifies the location type and indicates the host and/or setting location. Required Acceptable Values –Commercial - a grower/production field –Research - research or experimental station –Kudzu/wild legumes - a location with kudzu or another non-planted legume species as the host –Stand alone (sentinel only) - a site planted especially for the sentinel network –Volunteer legumes- Legumes that are not planted, but may have been planted at some earlier point in time. –Other/unknown - when the location of the site does not fit into any of the other location setting or is unknown. However, the host must be known –Ad-Hoc (aphid only) - This is a site that is sampled weekly during the season, at least.5 acres in size, and aphid severity values are always established via count and not an estimate. This is a also a site where only aphid monitoring is occurring (not disease or virus ) Location Setup Fields

11. 11 Location Name: A unique name assigned to each location; and if more than one cultivar/host/planting date is present at that location, each one gets a unique name Required Acceptable Values- alpha numeric w/no spaces Location Setup Fields

12. 12 Location Naming Protocol Sentinel site: STNAME”ST”NN_CC Any other: STNAMENN_CC ST = state postal code (2 letter abbrev) NAME= County (preferred), but nearest city or another convenient name is also acceptable. Maximum number of characters is 10, no spaces. **If it is a sentinel site include the following letters “ST” after name NN = counter separating one location from another with the same state and name. (sequence starts over at 01 for new state/name). Maximum number of characters is 2. _ = underscore, a separation between the counters; not needed if the second counter is not used CC = an alpha counter (sequence starts at “a”) or name of the cultivar/host when more than one of the following is present at a site: cultivar, host, or planting date. Maximum number of characters is 8 and no spaces are permitted. This counter can be ignored if the site has only one host/cultivar/or planting date. The location names are case-insensitive.

13. 13 How to assign a location name ST = MI NAME= Kalamazoo ** “ST”= ST NN = 01 _ = _ CC = a Location names are case-insensitive Complete site name = MIKalamazooST01_a
