# Create and Export Management Zones and Prescription Files

Management zones are used to group the data of a detailed health map into simple shapes that can then be exported as a prescription file.&#x20;

### Management Zones on Desktop <a href="#management_zones_on_desktop" id="management_zones_on_desktop"></a>

To create management zones and subsequent prescription file:

1. Open FieldAgent on your Desktop.
2. Navigate to the field you’d like to create a prescription for.
3. Select the layer you’d like to create a prescription from.
4. Select the Toolbox.
5. Select the Gears icon.
6. A popup window will indicate loading status. Note that this process may take some time.&#x20;
7. A prescription can then be created. Re-open the toolbox and select the RX icon.
8. Set the units and rate at which the file should be written for.&#x20;

### Area Isolation Example <a href="#area_isolation_example" id="area_isolation_example"></a>

To write a prescription for only the worst or best areas of a field use the toolbox to manipulate the dataset before running the management zone tool. Isolate a specific part of the field by setting the bins to 1 and then drag the min and max sliders around on the graph.

Settings for this example:

1. Bins were set to 1<br>
2. Color Map set to Reds<br>
3. Max slider moved to the left<br>
4. Generate a management zone by pressing the gear icon in the toolbox <img src="https://support.sentera.com/galleryDocuments/edbsnb8850057f68a0baeb001425d919f3a40b300f6940d3aba0b3bdb3d2eaabe1715825a53d7e95826a0bab0a1dac418aa63?inline=true" alt="" data-size="line">

In this case, the worst performing areas of the field were isolated for treatment.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://support.senterasensors.com/home/fieldagent-desktop/field-management/create-and-export-management-zones-and-prescription-files.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
