Settings - Trap Conditions

Record the condition of a trap or device found during inspections

Written by Rosie O'hara

Summary

A Trap Condition describes the device's state when your tech inspects it — for example, whether it's intact, damaged, missing, or blocked. Defining these here gives techs a consistent set of options in the mobile app when servicing a device, which keeps your inspection records accurate and flags devices that need repair or replacement.

Key Points

  • Create a trap condition for each state where your techs might find a device

  • Techs select these on the mobile app when servicing a trap or device

  • Consistent options make device records and maintenance tracking reliable


How to Get to Trap Condition

  1. From the top of the Navigation menu, click on Settings (gear icon)

  2. Under Device & Trap Settings, click on Trap Condition


How to Create a Trap Condition

Click the New Trap Condition button in the upper right.

  1. Enter the Trap Condition Name

  2. Click the green Create Trap Condition button to save


Choosing Good Trap Conditions

  • Cover the states that drive action — especially those indicating a device needs repair, replacement, or relocation.

  • Keep names clear and distinct so techs pick the right one quickly.

  • Don't overlap with Bait Condition. Trap Condition is about the device; Bait Condition is about the bait inside it.


Examples

Common trap conditions include:

  • Good / Intact

  • Damaged

  • Needs Replacement

  • Missing

  • Dirty

  • Inaccessible / Blocked

  • Relocated

Important Note: Anytime you change something in Settings, your techs must Reload Data in the mobile app to see the change.
