Progress 01/03/17 to 09/30/21
Outputs
Target Audience:The target audience for this project was Research and Extension Center Directors, farm managers as well as research faculty and graduate students in the University of Wyoming College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. The online application is being used by faculty and graduate students to request resources needed for research projects, teaching or extension activities and is also utilized by those individuals to provide information regarding treatment appplications resulting in historical data for resources utilized. Center directors and farm managers are utilizing the resource requests made by faculty and graduate students to plan for research project needs during the growing season and throughout the year. Changes/Problems:
Nothing Reported

What was accomplished under these goals?
1. Leverage and streamline existing application functionality and capabilities, and identify and prioritize additional ones with input from major stakeholders. Developed detailed implementation work plan Worked with stakeholders (AES farm managers and directors) Designed new interface Determined functionalities to migrate Identify new functionalities 2. Develop SARRA 2.0 through JavaScript, HTML5 and other cutting-edge web-based application programming tools Created a new modernized SARRA 2.0 application a. Transitioned from old SARRA to new SARRA 2.0 which uses JavaScript and HTML5 b. Implemented new interface design c. Migrated existing functionalities based on stakeholder input d. Created new functionalities based on stakeholder input e. Beta tested SARRA 2.0 f. Went live with SARRA 2.0 g. Updated application as necessary when technical issues were identified. Created a new application portal using Umbraco to house SARRA 2.0 a. Created and populated new permission groups b. Granted permissions to permission groups (director, manager and researchers) Federated ArcGIS Server services through ESRI's Portal for ArcGIS a. Maintained and updated newly published services 3. Develop content and deliver end-user training on SARRA 2.0. Redesigned and updated the database schema behind SARRA 2.0 a. Migrated data to new enterprise databas Supported all SARRA 2.0 users a. Held web-based meeting to demonstrate new design and functionality b. Responded to individual users technical questions about new design and functionalit Held web-based and in person meetings with directors and farm managers to discuss updates to new SARRA 2.0 development and implementation 4. Explore the feasibility of porting specific SARRA components to mobile platform. Investigated interoperability between SARRA2.0 and other AgTerra's MapIt Fast and Strider applications Held web-based meetings to understand how AgTerra products are used by AES farm managers As there was no consensus on using AgTerra's products for all stations the decision was made not to port to the mobile platform 5. Investigate the potential applicability of SARRA 2.0 beyond Wyoming. Met with Eastern Nebraska Research and Extension Center (University of Nebraska Lincoln) a. Demonstrated SARRA 2.0 several times b. Discussed potential use at their institution c. Decision was made that they would pursue options more suited to their specific station 6. Develop a stewardship plan for SARRA 2.0 after its release. Carried out stewardship plan activities by maintaining: a. Web servers, services and SARRA 2.0 application b. Backend geodatabase c. Umbraco portal website Annual database updates (e.g. field and crop boundaries) Continued stewardship is contingent on additional funding
