PlantWizard.com Changes – Release Version 2
Accounts and Logins
Each
login
refers to an individual's email address and can be attached to multiple
accounts
.
Once you login, you are taken to the home screen where you can choose which account to wish to
manage
– by default you are set to manage the last account you were working with.
User logins can have
Admin
access, which gives users access to edit the account details (contact, address, phone/fax/email, account logins)
Admin users can add or delete user logins to their account and give other users Admin access.
General Navigation
Seed, Seedlings, Shipments, Trades and Projects (new) are all accessed from the bar at the top of the screen.
Filtering and searching data no longer requires a step-by-step process. All the seedlings, shipments, and trades are automatically listed every time you go to one of the screens. Users then filter and/or search the data directly on the screen using the appropriate fields.
Project (new)
Projects exist as a way to assign a portion of the seedlings owned by an account to a specific project. Logins can be given access to specific projects so that the seedlings they manage when working on a project are only the ones assigned to the project. This replaces the previous requirement to create new accounts and
trade
trees to those accounts.
This is helpful if users have contractors that need access to PW.com and for downloading a certain group of seedlings to the Plant Wizard desktop.
Seedlings
The seedling screen shows everything the account owns, grew, or has on hand.
Posting
surplus
seedlings is done on the seedling details screen.
The
trace
function is accessed from the seedling details screen or the icon
to the right of the Crop Name on the seedling list.
Seedlings are no longer
transferred
to different years and seasons. Shipments and trades can be performed on multiple years' stock.
All
changes
