At it's heart, Vure consists of various modules, which are specifically designed to help streamline your viticultural workflows. These modules include:
System functionality is spread across a mobile app (iOS, Android) and a web app. These systems are tied together through the internet, which allows them to synchronise data seamlessly.
Vure is split into two seperate parts for managing users
To sign a user up to Vure, they first need to create an account, and then be added to an organization.
Vure supports both email sign up (email + password) and SSO, for the same email address.
If you are unsure whether your organisation requires SSO sign up, check with your IT team. If you have no IT policy regarding SSO sign up, then you can create a Vure account using your email + a password.
Get your new user to follow these steps to create their account.
1) Go to app.vurehub.com
2) Click on 'Need an Account? Sign up'
3) Choose whether you are signing up with email, or via SSO.
Choose an option below
1) Enter your email address and new password, then click on Sign up
2) Vure will email you with a sign up confirmation code. Enter this code in the next box & click on Confirm account
3) Set your preferred display name
4) Get your organisation admin to add you to your organisation
Your Vure account will seem 'empty' at first, because you haven't been assigned to an organization yet. Get in touch with whoever within your company asked you to sign up for Vure, and get them to add you to your organization.
1) Select your preferred SSO provider.
Note that Azure may require special set up first by your organization, so check with your company IT team first.
2) Set your preferred display name
3) Get your organisation admin to add you to your organisation
Your Vure account will seem 'empty' at first, because you haven't been assigned to an organization yet. Get in touch with whoever within your company asked you to sign up for Vure, and get them to add you to your organization.
1) Click on your User Name, then Organization in the Navbar
Note that this step has to be done after users have signed up - trying to add users to your organization before they have an account isn't possible, as a security measure.
2) Add the new user to your organization, using their email address
It is important to enter the email address correctly, as it is used as a unique identifier for the user you are trying to add.
Remember that they needed to have created an account first via the steps above before you are able to add them to your organization.
At the core of collection your yield data are a few concepts that are worth getting acquainted with:
We'll cover each point in more detail in the following section.
Sample regimes apply to individual blocks for which you want to collect data for (sample points or block based). Sample Regimes come in a variety of different forms, to help you collect data how you want, while adding row bay/vine as well as GPS geolocation data to each point.
Here's how to create a new Sample Regime for a block:
You're now ready to create sample runs using your newly created sample regimes.
Now that you've created sample regimes definition where to collect sample data from, you're ready to create Sample Runs.
Sample runs can be created in-field via the mobile apps, or from the office via the web app.
Lets look at how to do this both ways.
The newly created sample runs will sync to all organisation devices when they are connected to the internet.
In this example we'll look at creating sample runs via the Android mobile app - however the process is exactly the same for iOS devices.
In this section we'll walk through the mobile app interface for various sample run types. If you don't have any sample runs active, you can create some test sample runes and delete them when you're finished experimenting.
Here you can find the 'CURRENT' sample runs for which data is still being (or to be) collected for. Sample runs are grouped together based on their parent vineyard. In the 'COMPLETE' table you can see sample runs which have been completed and 'locked' to prevent accidental data changes.
After selecting a sample run to start collecting data for, you will see one of the following (or similar) interfaces depending on the sample regime which has been enabled:
For each of the following sample run types, it's possible to collect more precision sample location data via
Each of the following sample run types collects data a 'block level' and doesn't have individual sample points associated with them.
In this section we'll walk through how to access and download sample data which has been collected by samplers via the Vure Android and iOS apps.
Note that the default displayed date range resets every July to signify the start of a new season.
Search will only return sample runs that fall within the nominated date range.
Note that only the first 2,000 sample runs are loaded initially. If you have more than 2,000, simply scroll to the bottom of the page and the next 2,000 will load automatically.
The system will generate a new Excel file for you and automatically start the download when it's ready. Depending on the number of sample runs and data points being exported, this may take up to 30 seconds.
In this section we'll walk through how the note feature works on both the mobile apps as well as web app.
Here you can access notes that you've been tagged into 'YOURS', or all notes that are part of your organisation 'ALL'
Note taking in Vure is intended to be incredibly free form, with little restrictions on what information you need to enter. Enter as much or as little as you want to help you get the job done.
When GPS is enabled, Vure will automatically detect which block you are in and record your GPS coordinates. Your current location is shown by the blue dot - if it seems to be slightly off, then you can click on 'Adjust Location' and click and drag the pin on the map:
You can also enter more human readable coordinates, to help others navigate back to the same location:
If you wish to not save any geolocation information, you can tap the X button in the lower right of the map:
This helps provide 'at a glance' information to anyone reviewing the notes
Add further text details and information that will help diagnose the issue or provide useful context.
Add an image, which is useful for less experienced staff to quickly share in-field concerns with more experienced members.
Tagging a person into the note will make the note appear in their 'YOURS' list.
Selecting this flag will notify all users that have also been tagged into the note (above) about this item to make it easier for them to follow up. It will also highlight the note in their mobile app 'YOURS' list, as well as on the web app.
