Production Recipes

​

Overview

Production Recipes display plant production varieties with cultivation details. Recipes show plant characteristics and growing parameters for production planning.

​

Viewing Recipes

Recipes can be viewed in two formats:

​

Grid View

A table format with AG Grid showing recipe attributes: Columns:

• Genus: Plant genus
• Series: Plant series
• Color: Color variety
• Category: Production category
• Grow Weeks: Number of weeks for growing cycle
• Plants/Pack: Number of plants per pack
• Yield %: Expected yield percentage
• Week Start: Start week of production window
• Week End: End week of production window
• Start: Start indicator
• Sub: Substitution indicator
• Trial: Trial indicator

Grid Features:

• Sorting by columns
• Filtering with AG Grid filters
• Export/Import functionality
• Actions menu
• Assign Event menu
• Link Recipe button
• Mass Update functionality

Best for: Quickly scanning many recipes, sorting, and filtering

​

Card View

A split-screen layout with enhanced navigation and editing capabilities: Left Panel - Sidebar:

• Search bar - Filter recipes by name, code, genus, or series
• Recipe list - All recipes with visual indicators
• Week duration chips - Quick reference to growing time
• Keyboard navigation - Use arrow keys (↑/↓) to navigate through recipes

Right Panel - Detail Header:

• Editable title - Click to edit recipe name directly
• Status indicator - Visual badge showing recipe status
• Delete button - Remove recipe (with confirmation)

Right Panel - Tabs:

• Details: Core recipe information and growing parameters
• Links: Recipe component relationships and catalog/category assignments
• Materials: Bill of materials for production
• Tasks: Production tasks and scheduling
• Spacing: Space requirements and planning
• History: Change history and audit trail

Best for: Reviewing individual recipe details with tabbed information and quick navigation between recipes

​

Switching Views

Use the View Toggle button in the toolbar to switch between grid and card views.

​

Recipe Links and Combo Recipes

Recipes can include links to other production items, enabling you to create complex multi-component recipes.

​

Single Link Recipes

Simple recipes can optionally link to a single production catalog item:

• Components per Pot: Number of linked components used
• Production Catalog: The catalog containing the linked item
• Production Category: Category within the catalog

Use case: Link a finished plant recipe to its starting material (e.g., a flowering plant recipe links to its rooted cutting).

​

Combo Recipes

Combo recipes support multiple component links (2 or more) for complex production: Features:

• Add unlimited component links using the “Add Link” button
• Remove links with the “Remove” button next to each link
• Each link specifies components per pot, catalog, and category
• Auto-calculation: Plants per pot is automatically calculated as the sum of all component links

Example Combo Recipe: A mixed container with 3 geraniums and 2 petunias would have:

• Link 1: 3 components per pot → Geranium catalog/category
• Link 2: 2 components per pot → Petunia catalog/category
• Plants per pot: 5 (automatically calculated)

​

Viewing Recipe Links

Navigate to the Links tab in card view to see:

• All component links for the recipe
• Catalog and category assignments for each link
• Components per pot for each link
• Total plants per pot (for combo recipes)

​

Working with Recipes

​

Filtering and Sorting

Grid View:

• Use column headers to sort by any field
• Apply AG Grid filters to narrow results
• Search across all recipe fields

Card View:

• Use the search box in the left panel to filter recipes by name
• Click on any recipe to view its details in the right panel

​

• Assign Event: Link events to recipes
• Link Recipe: Create recipe relationships
• Mass Update: Update multiple recipes at once

​

Recipe Data

​

Recipe Attributes

Recipes include the following information: Plant Identification:

• Genus, series, and color
• Common name (in card view)
• Category assignment
• Code/SKU

Production Parameters:

• Grow Weeks: Duration of growing cycle
• Plants/Pack: Plant count per pack
• Yield %: Expected yield percentage
• Week Start/End: Production window timing

Indicators:

• Start, Sub, and Trial flags for production planning

​

Best Practices

​

Using Recipe Data

• Filter by production window: Use Week Start/End to plan seasonal production
• Monitor yield: Track Yield % to identify high-performing varieties
• Compare grow times: Sort by Grow Weeks to optimize greenhouse scheduling
• Search efficiently: Use card view search for quick lookup by common name

​

Data Management

• Export for analysis: Use Export/Import button to download recipe data for Excel analysis
• Link to events: Use Assign Event to connect recipes with production activities
• Mass updates: Use Mass Update for efficient bulk changes to recipe data

​

Troubleshooting

​

Can’t Find a Recipe

Issue: Recipe doesn’t appear in list Solutions:

• Grid View: Check if filters are applied; clear all filters
• Card View: Check the search box; clear search text
• Verify you’re on the correct view (grid vs card)

​

View Toggle Not Working

Issue: Can’t switch between grid and card views Solution:

• Look for the View Toggle button in the toolbar (right side)
• Click the icon to switch between views
• Check if any modals or overlays are blocking the interface

​

Export Not Working

Issue: Export/Import button doesn’t respond Solutions:

• Ensure you have appropriate permissions
• Check browser console for JavaScript errors
• Try refreshing the page and attempting again

​

Real-Time Data Sync

Recipe data now synchronizes in real-time across all connected devices and users.

​

How It Works

• Automatic Updates: Changes made by any user are instantly reflected for all viewers
• No Refresh Needed: The recipe grid and card views update automatically
• Conflict Prevention: The system prevents simultaneous edits to the same recipe
• Offline Support: Changes queue when offline and sync when connection is restored

​

Sync Indicators

Look for these indicators in the interface:
