6. Next under the What menu, select Title and enter the event title.
7. Select the blocks you are harvesting by tapping the blocks category, underneath Where. If a block has not been selected it will say Please choose on the right side. This will take you to the list of blocks that you have created.
If you have selected a lot of blocks in this event, you can use the Filter search bar when in the list of blocks. Type the name of the block, crop type, or the crop variety in the text field at the top to quickly filter this list.
8. When you find the correct blocks, tap the checkbox on the right side of the screen. Tap all the blocks that you need.
9. Once you are done, hit the back arrow on the top left of the screen. Your blocks are automatically saved. You will be taken back to the harvest event, which will now show the blocks you have selected
