GrowData 6.5.0 Release Details

Simpler sign in. Smarter irrigation. Smoother workflows.

This release delivers one sign in across InformAg, LoRa wireless pressure monitoring in preparation for early leak and blockage detection, and speed improvements throughout Irrigate and Ops.

One account across InformAg

With a single InformAg sign in, everyone moves faster and permissions stay clean. Access is set by farm and product so people only see what they need, and role presets like Operator, Manager, and Viewer are coming to make setup straightforward. The result is quicker onboarding for seasonal staff and contractors, smoother audits, and fewer surprises when responsibilities change.

Irrigate

LoRa pressure monitoring across your network

Get a live read on pressure across pivots, pumps, and valves without installing complex comms gear. LoRa sensors let you spot leaks, blockages, and faulty valves sooner, cut unnecessary trips by checking status remotely, and protect equipment by reacting to sudden pressure changes. You manage setup, edits, search, sort, and logs in one place with the LoRa configuration page, so keeping irrigation running smoothly is faster and simpler. Trials are underway, and we can help you add sensors or pressure nodes on your farm.

Map first setup

You can place now pivots, pumps, valves, and other assets directly on the map, aligning records with the farm, speeding onboarding, and reducing rework later - no more coordinates typing.

Find the right program quickly

The Programs view offers pagination and a page size selector, so you can move through big lists quickly without slowing down.

Manage schedules faster

Added a date picker on the schedule that fixes the end of month issue where next month’s programs were hard to see. Archived programs are hidden, and each schedule shows as one clear block with pause history and a simple status history. Pause actions are processed safely, so you will not see duplicate pauses.

Clearer alerts and schedules

Email alerts now use your local timezone and preferred date format, and clearly state whether a schedule was paused, resumed, or cancelled, plus the precise local time any alarms were triggered. Everyone sees the same status and timestamp, so teams stay aligned on exactly when events occurred.

Bulk changes across many valves

You can export all valve records to CSV, make changes once, and import them back in. When editing multiple valves, shared values like Type or Flow auto fill to reduce clicks and mistakes. Big configuration changes that once took hours now take minutes.

Irrigation and spraying speed and stability increase

The Application screens load faster while updates apply in the background without taking the system offline.
This step lays the groundwork for data flow between products like GrowData Irrigate and GrowData Ops. It will offer cross farm reporting across all your farms in upcoming releases, for example:

• Irrigation usage tracked against budget
• Run time and water use alongside job records
• Costs and application records viewed alongside irrigation schedules

Giving you the confidence in the numbers to plan your next season.

Fixes and polish

• Shift order now saves correctly, so schedules run in the right sequence every time.

• The Change Offsets window opens in Firefox, so timing tweaks work in any supported browser.

• Map highlights stay on while a valve is open, so you can trust what you see at a glance.

• Notifications go to all enabled users with local times, so teams act quickly without confusion.

• You stay on the same page after a refresh, so you never lose your place while working.

• Supplier onboarding respects ABN per tenant, so different tenants can add the same supplier without conflict.

• Timezones are handled more accurately, so times match across devices and locations.

• Duplicate user and tenant links are blocked, so records stay clean and reliable.

• The UI foundation is upgraded, so pages feel steadier and load faster across the app.
