Summary
🗂️ Storage Location Setup: Manage storage locations across devices by setting up custom storage rules. Each device ships with default settings, which can be edited for specific needs.
⚙️ Rule Group Creation: Create storage rule groups to apply consistent settings across multiple devices, such as fridge and freezer durations.
🔄 Overriding and Reverting: Override default settings with rule groups or revert to local device settings as needed.
Detailed Step-by-Step Summary: Web Portal Storage Locations
Introduction to Storage Locations
- Default Settings: Each device is shipped with default storage locations like “Fridge” and “Freezer.” These can be customized by pressing and holding on the storage location to edit details like expiration durations.
Customizing Storage Locations
- Editing Defaults: Upon receiving your device, it’s recommended to customize storage location names, used-by rules, and expiration dates according to your business needs. For instance, you might change “Fridge” from 4 days to 2 days based on your requirements.
Creating Storage Rule Groups
- Purpose of Rule Groups: A storage rule group allows you to apply a consistent set of storage locations and rules across multiple devices. This is especially useful for businesses with multiple locations or devices.
- Adding a New Rule Group: In the web portal, go to “Settings,” select “Storage Rules,” and click “Add New.” Name the rule group (e.g., “Storage Rule Group One”) and start adding custom storage locations like “Fridge A” for 1 day, “Fridge B” for 3 days, and “Main Freezer” for 90 days.
Applying Rule Groups to Devices
- Assigning Rule Groups: After creating a rule group, assign it to a device by going to the “Devices” tab, selecting the device, and changing its storage rules to the newly created group. This applies the rule group’s settings to the selected device, overriding the local device rules.
Reverting to Local Device Rules
- Restoring Defaults: If you want to revert a device back to its original local settings, you can easily change the storage rules back to the device’s local default in the web portal.
Handling Product Overrides
- Product Overrides: Note that product-specific overrides will always take precedence over storage rule group settings. If a product has a specific override (e.g., a product-specific expiration date), it will ignore the general storage location settings.
By following these steps, you can effectively manage and customize storage locations and rules across your devices, ensuring consistency and accuracy in your food storage practices. The flexibility to create, apply, and revert rule groups allows for tailored management based on your operational needs.
