Tips/Troubleshooting

This page provides you with information about the design of SPAR so you understand some of the subtle features that can affect your search. On this page you'll learn about:
 

Mandatory Fields

Either Species or Owner Agency must be included in your search filter when you are performing a Lot Search. Otherwise you'll get an error message.


Seed Planning Zones (SPZ)

The SPZ code you select may impact the type of genetic class results you receive. For example:

Coastal SPZ.

All available class A and B lots will be listed if a coastal SPZ is entered and the Genetic Class filter is not used.

Interior SPZ.

Because there are different sets of zones for Class A and B in the interior, SPAR returns a list of either Class A or B lots depending on which SPZ was used and provided the Genetic Class filter was not used. In 4 cases the Class A and B zones are the same in the interior (EK, CT, CP, QL). When these SPZs are used SPAR displays both Class A and B lots.
 

Reserve/Surplus Field

This field defaults to displaying the blank value and will provide you with the most complete list. If you want to narrow your search based on whether the lots are in reserve or surplus you should be aware of what each of these code selections means.
Reserve/Surplus

Code Descriptions

For each of these field choices SPAR will return the following results:

Blank

lots that are either listed in reserve or surplus.

Reserve

lots that are only in reserve.

Surplus

lots that only have surplus available.

Both

lots that have both reserve and surplus.

Congratulations!
