A computing device, comprising:
- a memory configured to store computer instructions;
- and
- at least one processor configured to execute the computer instructions to:
- generate a visual representation of a plurality of fence posts in a fence run, the plurality of fence posts including at least a first fence post and a second fence post, the visual representation providing a first minimum height for the first fence post, a first distance from a reference location to the first fence post, a second minimum height for the second fence post, and a second distance from the reference location to the second fence post;
- display the visual representation to a user;
- display a graphical user interface to the user for receiving information associated with the first fence post and the second fence post;
- and
- receive, from the user via the graphical user interface, at least a first input that signifies that the first minimum height and the first distance have been marked at a location at which the first fence post is to be installed and at least a second input that signifies that the second minimum height and the second distance have been marked at a location at which the second fence post is to be installed.

A computing device, comprising:
- a memory configured to store computer instructions;
- and
- at least one processor configured to execute the computer instructions to:
- generate a visual representation of a fence post in a fence run, the visual representation providing a designed height of the fence post and a difference between the designed height of the fence post and a measured height of the fence post;
- display the visual representation to a user;
- display a graphical user interface to the user for receiving information associated with the fence post;
- and
- receive, from the user via the graphical user interface, at least a first input that signifies that the difference between the designed height of the fence post and the measured height of the fence post has been marked on the fence post.
