Visual Changelog - June 2021#

Added Username to Model Run Listing#

Now you can view the username of the person that created a model run in the listing. If you know who created a model run but not what it is named, it should now be easier to find!

Changed Behavior for Nonoptimal Results#

Previously non-optimal results would show up under the “Infeasibilities” tab, but were not true infeasibilities and instead should be considered a warning. Results for regions that were non-optimal were also dropped, making them not comparable with other model runs to see how different they were. Now, the warnings are clearer when the result is non-optimal vs. infeasible and give suggestions for how to respond. Additionally, the Infeasibilities tab has been renamed “Issues and Infeasibilities” to reflect that not all regional models listed there are infeasible.

Model Version Provided in Status Box#

Fig. 11 Model runs status cards now include the version of the model used so that it can be provided in any external reporting.#

Editing Titles and Descriptions of Model Runs#

You have been able to edit titles and descriptions for many months, but the application gave no indication that it was possible. Now there’s a helpful little edit icon to click in addition to clicking on the text itself, along with some additional cues that the text is editable once clicked.

Default Region Modeling Behavior and Change-able Behaviors#

../../_images/region_card_advanced.png

Fig. 12 Regions can now use the Full PMP model, a Simple model that assumes no trading (new), or No Production. Regions can also have default behaviors, so some regions will default to the Simple model - when they do, you’ll see that choice made in the Advanced section of a crop card.#

Provide Region-Level Crop Commodity Details When Creating Models#

Fig. 13 You can now provide region-specific crop inputs from crop cards. See Region-Linked Crops for more details.#

Bugfix: Max Land Area Proportion shows as Zero in Input viewer#

The application included a bug where, when no upper limit was provided for a specific crop’s land area constraint, it was saved as an upper limit of 0. This is cosmetic and was ignored by the model. Some model runs may still show upper limits on land area of 0, but their results remain correct. New model runs will correctly indicate “no limit” in these instances.

Gross Revenue Sums Available in all Model Areas#

Previously, sums of gross revenue across an entire model run were only available when OpenAg included employment data for a model area. Now they are available on the Summary tab of the results viewer for all model areas. The sums take into account active filters, allowing you to see the value for groups of regions, crops, etc.
