Welcome to TELUS Crop Management! This guide provides the necessary steps to prepare and complete your data export from Gatekeeper Desktop to your new TELUS Crop Management software.
❗Important: Please complete all pre-migration checks before initiating your final data export to ensure a smooth transition.
What Gets Exported?
When you complete the migration, the following data will be transferred:
Business Structure: Grower, Holding, Farm, and Field details for the last 5 years (or up to 10 years upon request).
Soil Sampling: Any soil sampling inspections recorded in Gatekeeper Desktop during the selected period.
Operation & Job Records (Optional):
Completed jobs for the selected period.
Products used within those jobs (product matching occurs automatically during import).
Pre-Migration Checklist
Please review and complete each step prior to exporting your data.
Step | Action & Guidance |
1. Review Included Data | Review our Migrating Data from Gatekeeper to TELUS Crop Management: Included vs Excluded Data article to confirm which historical records, soil samples, and job data will and will not transfer during migration. |
2. Decide Data Source | Decide whether the data will be exported from the Grower's or Agronomists' version of Gatekeeper. Recommendation: As a grower, if you are happy with your field structure and want to include operational data, export from your own Gatekeeper setup. |
3. Synchronise Sites | Ensure your Gatekeeper Desktop is fully synchronised so all information is prepared for export.
Multi-user setups: If you have additional sites or users, synchronise those before synchronising the main business-owning site. |
4. Check Working Areas | The migration process will fail on any fields or cropping records allocated a 0 working area: • Go to Setup > Fields. • Review crop records for all years you intend to export (e.g., check the last 5 years) and ensure valid working areas are assigned. |
5. Assign Yield Regions | Every holding must have a Yield Region assigned. • Go to Setup > Holdings and ensure a Yield Region is assigned to all holdings. |
6. Contract Businesses | Review any contract businesses in Gatekeeper. Note that these will automatically be recreated as separate businesses in TELUS Crop Management alongside their associated fields |
7. Proceed with Migration | Once all pre-migration checks above are complete, proceed with your export actions by following the relevant step-by-step export guide below: |
