Fallen Lumber sources are the beginning of a captivating narrative that connects the life cycle of a tree to the final masterpiece it becomes. These sources capture the essence of nature's journey, where trees have fulfilled their purpose and have reached their end. Fallen Lumber sources include trees that have fallen due to various reasons such as old age, disease, or a tumultuous storm.
Required User Level(s): Admin, Manager, Operator may add/edit/delete. Visitors may view Sources information on a specific item, if enabled.
Add a Fallen Lumber
From your left hand navigation in Traece™, click on the Sources button
Click on Add New Source
Click Source Type
Select Fallen Lumber
The New Source modal contains various data points that you may wish to enter in order to present as much information as possible about a unique individual tree.
Source Info
Removal Date: This defaults to the current Month/Day/Year
Species: This drop-down list is populated with the Trees (species) defined under your Configuration settings for Species
Label: This is a required field. Label should be something that helps you and your team readily identify this tree.
As an example, you might have a tree that was salvaged from the grounds of a government building. You could label this fallen lumber source tree as "Helena Capitol Hackberry NW corner." Having a unique label can help with easier recall of the specific source tree later on.
Estimated Board Feet (Source Trees): Estimated Board Feet is a read-only field that populates as soon as logs, lumber, or slabs have been created from this tree. The board foot calculations from those items are represented in a sum total in the Estimated Board Feet field
Public: If left unchecked, this field obfuscates the exact location from the Public view. In other words, if you enter in a specific street address for a Fallen Lumber source tree, clicking Public would make that address visible, whereas leaving it unchecked would make that location more general than specific.
Processed: This is a legacy feature that predates the ability to add Status to logs. Traece™ recommends you use the customizable Status field rather than processed.
