The Chemical Tracking Wizard is a tool on the Dispatch Board that allows you to manage all chemical tracking services within a single overlay. This can include:
- Adjusting quantities of chemicals that were used on a job
- Adding new chemicals that were used
- Viewing reports related to future and past chemical applications
- Displaying weather conditions and pH settings, if these general settings are enabled
You can access the wizard from the Dispatch Board by hovering over the More dropdown list and selecting Chemical Tracking:
This will open the Chemical Tracking Wizard, which is divided by job with the number of chemical jobs listed at the top of the overlay.
Using the Wizard
Conditions
- The Conditions section applies to all Jobs when a value is entered.
- If you include Temperature, Wind Speed, and Wind Direction on the Wizard, you can click Save & Next and these fields will auto-populate the next screen.
- Add the values for these fields relevant for the date when chemicals are to be applied. If you don’t know this information when scheduling a job, then the technician on the job can enter the information on the Legacy app.
- Weather conditions you include on the wizard will appear on the Chemical Tracking Report.
