30MHz latest updates: Fast feed and your own weather station

At 30MHz, we are continuously working on improving our data platform. New features and updates are introduced every month. Sometimes visible, sometimes it’s covered behind the scenes. This is a list of our recently updated or introduced features. 

Faster feed loading

Time is limited. Especially in horticulture, where there are so many other tasks on your to do list. When you are scrolling through your comments on the platform, you want to have a quick overview. To smoothen the process of data analysis our developer Lauris updated your feed. Now you don’t have to wait until all comments in the feed have loaded, but you quickly see the 25 most recent comments in your feed. Looking for an older comment? Just keep scrolling down and you will find your result.

We’ve smoothened the process of scrolling through your feed.

Use week numbers for easier analysis

We like to improve the little things, so you can get the most out of your data. An example of that is the implementation of week numbers. Many of our customers told us that they use week number a lot for their daily tasks. So we made it possible to show the numbers in a line chart and bar chart.

When creating a new widget:

1. Go to Dashboard via the main menu
2. Ga to the dashboard that you would like to adjust
3. Click on + Add widget
4. Create a line chart or bar chart
5. Adjust the settings to your preferences
6. Scroll down to Other 
7. Activate Show week numbers by clicking on the switch
8. Click on Create to add the widget to your dashboard

When adjusting an existing widget:

1. Go to Dashboard via the main menu
2. Ga to the dashboard that you would like to adjust
3. Hoover on top of the chart and click on the edit button/pencil that appeared
4. Scroll down to Other
5. Activate Show week numbers by clicking on the switch
6. Click on Save to adjust the widget

For Group users: week numbers can only be added to your chart with the Chart options button in Explore. Week numbers are not available while creating or adjusting widgets in the dashboards. 

New weather data provider

Since early 2021, Meteomatics is our weather data provider. This provider gives you more detailed information about the weather. On top of that, it enables our users to look 10 days ahead. So we have extended the forecast from 5 days to 10 days. Together with Meteomatics, we made it possible for you to create your own virtual local weather station. Read more about which data you can measure with this provider.

Visualise the next 10 days

Ok, so in our platform you can use weather data to look 10 days into the future. But before you turn into a weather fortune teller, we have to inform you about one other new feature. The period option in the widget creator, Past/Future x number of days, will make sure you can look 10 days ahead. If you’re using manual input, this option can be used as well. Very helpful if you want to visualise your production goals for example.

Pick the right date

It’s one of those little updates we mentioned earlier in this article. The minor tweaks that makes the platform even more user friendly. The date picker is recently updated and has a fresh look. It makes it easier for you to pick the right date.
