1. A system for controlling an unloading system of an agricultural harvester, the system comprising:
a frame;
a crop unloading system including an unloading tube operably coupled to the frame and a spout operably coupled with the unloading tube, the crop unloading system configured to discharge harvested crop from the agricultural harvester;
one or more actuators configured to move the crop unloading system relative to the frame;
a user interface configured to receive one or more inputs;
a touchscreen configured to receive the one or more inputs; and
a computing system communicatively coupled to the user interface and the crop unloading system, the computing system configured to:
provide a first view of the unloading system on the touchscreen to receive one or more inputs related to a defined location of the unloading tube;
provide a second view of the unloading system on the touchscreen to receive one or more inputs related to a defined location of the spout relative to the unloading tube;
store a predetermined unloading position based on the defined location of the unloading tube received through the one or more inputs and the defined location of the spout received through the one or more inputs; and
when an input is actuated for a minimum threshold, control an operation of the one or more actuators such that the unloading system is moved relative to the frame from a current position to the predetermined unloading position.
