Tell us the singular and plural for each level when your team starts, and contact support to change them later. The words appear in the sidebar, the breadcrumb, the place header and the report heading, for the whole team at once, in the browser and in the phone app. Team profile in Settings shows the structure in use.
You also choose how many levels you need. Two, such as farm and field, suit most crop advisors. Four, such as entity, farm, tract and field, suit teams that track more structure.
This matters most outside agriculture. A report with Field at the top looks wrong to a property manager, and a technician should not have to translate the app in their head all day.
Renaming changes the words, not what a place holds. A renamed building still takes a pin or a boundary, visits, photos, readings, tasks and reports. Reports already signed keep the words they were signed with, and new drafts use the current labels.
Set labels around the work you visit
Decide which levels describe the places your team visits before choosing names. A property team might use property and building, and an advisory team might use farm and field. Other pairs that fit the work include site and station for environmental monitoring, vineyard and block for wine grapes, and ranch and pasture for cattle.
Hierarchy labels are separate from status and category settings. Settings, Statuses & categories classifies places, and Settings, Reports holds the report templates. Labels name the levels, categories sort the places and templates shape the report, and each one is set on its own page.
Check the setup with a real reporting task
Choose a representative place and walk through how the team will find it during a visit. Then read a report from that place with the person who will receive it. If that reader needs a room, gate or equipment ID, say it in the voice note and it carries into the draft with the finding.
Labels are set once for the whole team, so every screen and every report uses the same words. Pick two levels or four when you set the team up, before hundreds of places pile up under the old structure. Soil, crop history and NDVI are farm layers, so a team that inspects buildings will leave them off.
