Change the Position of a Field Label

All Reinsurance Years

To improve visibility of CLUs and Field Numbers, users can move the label positions of any field on the map surface. This ability is offered in two places within the Mapping module: 1) from Tools > Move label positions 2) From within the Custom Label panel.

1. To view the labels, open the Layers panel by clicking in the Mapping window. The Layers panel opens.
2. In the Crop Information section of the Layers panel, click On for the Grower Fields option (the button should turn blue; if it was already blue, do nothing). The map refreshes and field numbers display.
3. From the Fields dropdown, select “Move label positions”. Two new buttons, Save Label Positions and Cancel Position Changes, appear to the right of the Fields dropdown.
4. Use the mouse to click on the CLU/field number label and drag it to the desired position (the field turns blue when re-positioning the label).
5. When all labels are in their desired positions, click Save Label Positions; the labels will remain in their new positions unless moved again with the tool.

The new positions also will carry over to all map-based printing options.

See the "Create Custom Labels for Fields" for how to move a field when creating custom labels.

The new positions also will carry over to all map-based printing options.
