Managing Seasons

How seasons work

Each season has a start date and end date, scoped to a year. All collections, boils, and tap installations are associated with a season.

Creating a season

The app creates your first season during initial setup. To create additional seasons:

  1. Open the season selector.
  2. Create a new season for the desired year.
  3. Set the start and end dates.

Editing a season

Season start and end dates are editable at any time. Changing dates does not affect existing data – it adjusts the date range the dashboard displays.

Switching between seasons

Use the season selector to switch between past and current seasons. All dashboard data, collections, and boil records update to reflect the selected season.

When switching to a past season that has tap dates, the app automatically fetches historical weather data from Open-Meteo for any dates missing weather records. Manual weather entries are preserved and never overwritten.

Past and future seasons

The app supports arbitrary past or future season years. You can create a season for any year to enter historical data or plan ahead.
