A Countryside Stewardship agreement is built from revenue options (such as GS2, BE3 or SW1) and capital items. The option detail page lets you manage one of those revenue options on its own.
Opening an option
Open your CS agreement, switch to the Options tab and click an option. The detail page opens with the option code badge and a category badge (grassland, boundaries, water and so on, each colour-coded).
Overview tab
The Overview tab shows:
A description of the option
The payment rate
The evidence requirements
The number of evidence items collected so far
A status (complete, partial, not started)
Land tab
The Land tab lists the parcels and hedgerows assigned to this option. For rotational options you can use the rotation dialog to add or remove parcels for the next year.
Evidence tab
Every evidence item linked to the option appears here. Add new items from the vault or remove ones that no longer apply. The Overview's evidence count updates immediately.
History tab
For rotational options the History tab shows which parcels carried the option in each year. Use it when an inspector asks for evidence that you've rotated correctly.
Tips
The status badge is your quick guide to whether the option is audit-ready
Use the colour-coded category to spot related options - all your boundary options together, for example
Treat the rotation dialog as the system of record - manual edits to parcel assignments lose history
