This month's update includes one of our most requested features - the ability to easily assign tasks to multiple people! You can now create teams to organize your users, and then assign your tasks and events to those teams. You'll also be able to add individual users as collaborators to a task as well to be sure everyone who needs to be included is tagged. Beyond that, your great ideas and feedback helped us make some updates to the point of sale system after we released it last month, including a new side display to better see what's in your order. We've also made updates to bulk planting crops and bulk harvesting from animals. Check out the video and details below!
Teams, Collaborators, and Task Assignments
- If you have groups of staff that routinely work together on tasks and events, you can create teams to connect them and streamline those assignments. Maybe you have a morning and afternoon crews that routinely take on similar tasks based on the time of day they work. Or, how about specialized teams that work on certain aspects of your business, like a harvesting group, mechanics in the shop, or farmers market workers that always attend your events? You can now define teams and add users to them, and then easily assign tasks and events to the whole group at once.
- You can also include additional individual users on task assignments by inviting them as collaborators. Regardless of the method you choose, these users will still see the tasks on their task list, and get notifications when they are assigned.
Market Updates
- The recently released Point of Sale system has been updated with a new side bar cart display. This helps you see what has already been added to the cart, and update quantities on the main page. This significantly decreases the time to add products to an order, helping you serve your customers quickly and efficiently.
- All orders are now labeled with a source, helping you know whether they were added through the Online Store, the POS, or administratively through the Orders page.
Livestock and Crop Updates
- You can now add basic measurements and yields in bulk for multiple animals at the same time. You can accomplish this from your main livestock dashboard, from a smart or basic group, or from a grazing location. This can help you save time when recording your harvest or taking many measurements at once.
- Seed packet details are now available when bulk planting crops. These will apply to all the planting you create when you bulk plant a single crop across multiple grow locations.
Additional Updates
- You can now select your farm address when geolocating a task. If you are away from you farm but want to geolocate the task, you can now click a button to easily load the farm location so you can pinpoint the task exactly.
- You can now filter a custom Grow Location Treatment reports by location. So if you're looking for all the treatments in a specific location, you can now select that location to only return those results.
- Livestock Keywords can now be added to custom reports as well. This can help you see all of the keywords associated with all of your animals and be sure you have all of your classification needs covered.
