Whether you are setting up a new ranch or updating emitter rates for the season, follow these steps.
📋 Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare the Template
Open the Lumo Block Template and make a copy of the Google Sheet.
Navigate to the 'Template' tab and fill in your block data.
Export the Data
Go to File > Download and select Comma Separated Values (.csv).
⚠️ Important: Do not download as an Excel file (.xls or .xlsx); the system only accepts .csv files.
Upload to Ops Center
Log in to the Ops Center and navigate to Admin Tools > Blocks.
Click the Upload CSV button and select your file.
Review and Confirm
Check the summary for any error messages. If errors appear, correct them in your sheet and repeat the download/upload process.
💡 Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this to EDIT existing blocks?
Yes. To update existing blocks, ensure the Block Name matches exactly what is currently in the system. Lumo will update the details for that block rather than creating a new one.
What if I don’t have all the information?
Only three fields are mandatory: Organization, Farm, and Block. If you don’t know values like Variety or Acres yet, you can leave those cells blank.
