How do I Unzip a Prescription File?

Overview:

Users can download prescription files from Corteva Fields either directly from VRS or email. Prescription files downloaded from Corteva Fields are zipped. Zipped files are compressed to make them smaller, which makes them easier to download and share. These files need to be extracted so that they are in the correct format when they are saved to a USB or card before they are uploaded to the monitor.

Requirements:

• Farms and field boundaries created
• Crop Zones assigned
• Products Placed
• Yield Targets assigned
• A Variable-rate Rx created in and exported from Corteva Fields VRS

NOTE: The Export Status queue exists in VRS. Download options are described below:
