DATTLE / Field collection
Garden Log
Track care for individual plants using the Garden Log template. One entry per care action connects watering, pruning, or harvesting with a health rating and a photo.
Make it your own
On the web, sign in and choose New Dattle → Template. Web Dattles use Shared access; you can start with just yourself and invite people later. For a Private Dattle stored on your device, use the mobile app.
After signing in, search for Garden Log under New Dattle → Template. You can leave the invite list empty while you get started.
Start from the template
In New Dattle, choose Template and search for Garden Log, or browse Field collection. Open its preview, choose Use template, and review the name and fields before saving. The suggested name is Garden Log.
Capture your first entry
Use a consistent plant name, select the action you completed, and record your health rating. Add a light reading, photo, and a note about the plant’s appearance.
Review and keep it useful
Search the plant name to compare care entries. Read any Plant Diagnosis output alongside the photo and your observations, then verify it before choosing a treatment.
TEMPLATE FIELDS
What Garden Log includes
These are the starting fields and choices in this template. You can review and adjust the setup before saving your Dattle.
| Field | Type | What to record |
|---|---|---|
| Plant Name | Text | Use a clear description that will make sense when you revisit the record. |
| Action | Choice | Choices: Watered; Fertilized; Pruned; Repotted; Treated; Harvested. |
| Health | Rating | Use the same rating meaning across records so comparisons stay useful. |
| Ambient Light | Sensor — Ambient light | Record the light value in lux with the measurement location and method. |
| Photo | Image | Add a photo that shows the details relevant to this record. |
| Notes | Text | Use a clear description that will make sense when you revisit the record. |
Sensor capture depends on the device and permissions. On the web, use Enter manually for sensor values. Keep the reading’s unit and measurement context with the record.
Choose whether to use AI
This template includes AI enrichment for the fields below. To start without AI, open Edit Fields during setup and turn off AI enrichment for these fields before creating your Dattle. For each one, replace Output Columns with the field’s own name so your entry appears under one clear heading. You can still enter and keep your own notes.
- Photo → Plant Diagnosis
When enabled, AI processing sends the selected field content to the selected AI provider. Subscription or credit requirements may apply. Compare generated text with your original entry and correct it before using or sharing it.
