The Irrigation Report helps you review irrigation activity across a selected date range. It combines a zone summary table, map, event log, and graphs so you can compare what was scheduled, what Verdi devices reported, and how irrigation changed over time. You can also download the report data for your own records or analysis.

Depending on account size, the Irrigation Report can take a short time to load. In some cases, it may take up to 30–45 seconds for all views to populate.

How to open the Irrigation Report

From the Verdi Dashboard, click Irrigation Report. When it opens, the page is divided into four main areas: Map View, Irrigation Report table, Irrigation Log / Zone Graph, and Irrigation and NDVI Graph. Selecting a zone in the table or on the map updates the rest of the report for that zone. If you select a zone on the map, it will highlight in the report, though the table does not automatically scroll to that row.

Using the Irrigation Report table

The Irrigation Report table summarizes irrigation data for the selected time range. By default, the report opens with an end date of today and a start date of about six months earlier, but you can change the range to any period you want. You can also sort the table by any visible column.

The filters at the top of the table let you narrow the view by varietal/crop type, pump, set, and devices. The device filter can help you focus on zones that have valve-control devices, zones that have any devices, or zones with no devices. This can be especially useful for removing rows where irrigation was never expected because no Verdi-controlled device was present in the field.

Use Columns to show additional fields that are hidden by default, such as measured flow and uptime-related columns. If you are unsure what a column means, hover over the column name to view its description.

Use Download to export the full table as a CSV. The export includes all report columns, even columns that are currently hidden in the on-screen table.

Understanding the main irrigation columns

Scheduled Irrigation shows the irrigation hours that were scheduled for the selected period. This reflects what was scheduled, whether or not it was ultimately possible for the field to irrigate at that time.

Expected Irrigation shows the irrigation hours that were expected to occur based on field conditions and system state. For example, irrigation that was scheduled before devices were installed in the field would count as scheduled, but not expected. In some cases, Expected Irrigation includes a ± range to account for short-notice events, manual actions, or other cases where there is uncertainty around what should have happened.

Actual Irrigation shows the number of hours the Verdi valve controller reported that its valve was open. This is a device-reported value. It is not calculated from flow data or pressure data, so time can still appear here even if there was no measured flow or no pressure during that period.

Flow On shows the number of hours a connected flow meter read greater than zero. When a zone has a working flow meter, this value should usually be similar to Actual Irrigation. If no flow meter is connected, this value may appear as zero in the current report.

Uptime shows the percentage of time that devices in the zone were online during the selected period. Valve Uptime is similar, but only counts valve devices and excludes sensors. This means Valve Uptime can sometimes be higher than overall Uptime.

Total Measured Flow shows the total measured volume over the selected period. Average Flow Rate shows the average flow rate only during periods when flow was being measured. It does not average in zero-flow time.

Median Irrigation Duration shows the middle irrigation duration for the selected zone over the selected period. This helps you understand what a typical irrigation length looked like without being overly affected by unusually short or unusually long events.

Viewing flow data

To view flow-related data in the report table, open Columns and enable fields such as Total Measured Flow and Average Flow Rate. You may need to use the horizontal scrollbar to see all visible columns.

Irrigation and NDVI Graph

The Irrigation and NDVI Graph summarizes irrigation and NDVI data for the last selected zone across the chosen date range. It includes a timeline of irrigations, monthly irrigation totals, and NDVI trends. You can minimize or expand this section as needed.

In the irrigation timeline, light blue shows scheduled irrigations and dark blue shows executed irrigations reported by the system. If you see a dark-blue irrigation without a matching scheduled irrigation, that usually indicates a manual event. If you see a scheduled irrigation without a matching executed irrigation, that can indicate the device was offline, not yet installed, or otherwise unable to operate at that time.

The monthly graph combines five data series: individual zone NDVI measurements, monthly NDVI average for the zone, monthly NDVI average for the set, monthly irrigation time for the zone, and average monthly irrigation time for the set. If the zone is not assigned to a set, set-level comparison data will not appear. The left axis shows irrigation time in hours, the right axis shows NDVI values, and the horizontal axes show month and timing through the season.

Use Compare with Set to show or hide the set-level comparison data for the selected zone.

Irrigation Log

The Irrigation Log shows individual irrigation events for the selected zone within the selected date range. Each log entry helps you inspect a specific irrigation in more detail, including when it started, how long it ran, how its actual duration compared with its scheduled duration, and the device accuracy shown for that event.

A log entry may also show that an event was scheduled on short notice. In the current report, this means the irrigation was scheduled less than two hours before its start time.

If you use Download > Executed Irrigations, Verdi exports the executed irrigation log for all zones in the current report view, not just the zone currently selected in the log panel.

Zone Graph

The Zone Graph shows sensor data for the selected zone across the selected time range, including values such as pressure, flow, and soil moisture where available. This is the same sensor graph used in the zone card view.

FAQs

What is the difference between Scheduled Irrigation, Expected Irrigation, and Actual Irrigation?
Scheduled Irrigation is what was scheduled. Expected Irrigation is what the system considers realistically able to happen based on the field and device state at that time. Actual Irrigation is the time the Verdi valve controller reported that it believed the valve was open.

Why can Actual Irrigation show time even if there was no water or no pressure?
Because Actual Irrigation is based on the device’s reported valve-open state, not on flow verification or pressure verification. If the controller believed the valve was open, that time can still appear in Actual Irrigation.

What does the ± value next to Expected Irrigation mean?
The ± range is used in cases where there is uncertainty around what should have happened, such as short-notice events, manual actions, or other irregular operating conditions.

Why do some zones show zero expected irrigation?
A common reason is that no Verdi-controlled device was present for that zone during the selected time period. In that case, irrigation may have been scheduled historically, but it would not count as expected because the system had no way to carry it out.

How is Average Flow Rate calculated?
Average Flow Rate is calculated only during periods when flow was being measured. It is not averaged across the full time range, including zero-flow periods.

What does Compare with Set do?
It shows or hides set-level comparison data in the Irrigation and NDVI Graph, including set average irrigation time and set average NDVI for the selected zone.

What does Download include?
Downloading the main report table exports all columns, including columns that are hidden on screen. Downloading Executed Irrigations exports irrigation events for all zones in the current report view.

Why does the Irrigation Report sometimes take a while to load?
The current report can take time to populate, especially on larger accounts. In some cases it may take up to 30–45 seconds for all sections to load.

What does “short notice” mean in the Irrigation Log?
In the current report, short notice means the irrigation was scheduled less than two hours before it started.

Why might historical irrigation data look incomplete after a controller replacement?
In the current version of the report, historical irrigation data may not always carry over cleanly when a controller was removed and replaced. If you need help reconciling historical irrigation history after a device replacement, contact Verdi Support.

Why doesn’t the pump filter always show useful results?
The pump filter depends on zones being assigned to pumps in your account configuration. If pump assignments have not been set up, the filter may not be helpful.
