# Quantities
|
|
|
|
All Logs in farmOS have the ability to record structured quantitative
|
|
measurements alongside other details. These can be used to collect data about
|
|
your farm activities in an organized way, which can be analyzed later to
|
|
provide insights.
|
|
|
|
Each Quantity consists of four optional sub-fields:
|
|
|
|
* Measure - What type of measurement is this? Eg: Weight, Volume, Count,
|
|
Temperature, etc.
|
|
* Value - The measurement value (a number).
|
|
* Units - The unit of measure. This can be anything you like, but it's always
|
|
good to keep your units consistent for later analysis.
|
|
* Label - Labels are just a text field that allow you to label the Quantity.
|
|
This is helpful if you have multiple Quantities of the same measure or units.
|
|
|
|
A single Log in farmOS can have multiple Quantities, but only the first will be
|
|
included when viewing a list of Logs. In order to see a list of all Quantities,
|
|
go to Records > Quantities and optionally filter by Log name, type, date range,
|
|
or Quantity fields like measure, value, units, or label. A CSV file can be
|
|
exported from the filtered results. This provides a flexible approach to
|
|
gathering ongoing quantitative data on your farm, and then analyzing it for
|
|
trends over time.
|
|

[Quantities](/model/type/quantity) section of the [farmOS data model](/model)
