1. Creating a Labelling Service
Before you can use the Navitas Labelling app or be able to print labels you first need to ensure you have the Labelling module enabled on your Digital Food Safety Platform as shown in the image below:
If you cannot see the module, then please follow the steps below.
Step 1.
Logon to the Digital Food Safety Platform.
Click on Settings.
Click on Smartprobes.
Click on Services.
Click on the Create button on the right-hand side.
Fill in the form as follows
Name: Labelling
Type: Labels service
Untick Rejecting temperatures
Under Temperature rules set a temperature between 0 and 8
Click on Submit
You should now see the labelling module on the left-hand side of the menu
2. Assigning the labelling service to products in your menu.
The next step is to assign the Labelling Service to the Product Items in your menu. This will allow the product to be visible when selecting a product from the list within your labelling app. This can be done by following the steps below.
Click on Products Menu
Click on Edit Menu
Click on the Cog wheel (Edit) next to the product item in question:
Add Labelling service in the service field.
3. Setting up your allergens.
The next stage of setup is to ensure that your products have the correct allergen information detailed against them. To do this, please follow the steps below.
Click on Products Menu
Click on Edit Menu
Click on the orange cog wheel (Edit) next to the product item in question
Select the ‘May Contain Allergens’ tab shown below.
Select any allergens the product may contain by using the checkboxes. Allergens can be added by ticking the boxes and removed by unticking the same boxes as desired. For example the image below shows a product which may contain nuts.
Once satisfied with the allergens the product may contain, navigate to the ‘Ingredients’ tab to set the allergens that the product DOES contain. Should you not wish to edit these, you can save changes at this point by clicking the ‘Update’ button.
In the Ingredients tab, select the green ‘Add ingredient’ to get started
A new ingredient will appear in the list above. This will appear as 'empty' for now.
First click on the ‘add allergens’ link
Select the allergens as desired using the drop down list. Multiple allergens can be added for an ingredient.
Once satisfied, click the ‘Update’ button. The allergen(s) will be added. These can be amended as required by clicking the same link again to re-open the allergens drop down list.
Now to set the name of the ingredient, click the ‘Empty’ link
Use the text box to give your ingredient a name.
Press enter to save the ingredient to the list.
Further ingredients and allergens can be added by clicking the ‘Add Ingredient’ button and following steps 7 to 14 again.
Once happy with the ingredients and allergens set, click the ‘update’ button to save.
4. Syncing the changes to your labelling app
The final step of setup is to sync all the changes you have made over to your labelling app for use with the labelling system. To do this, follow these steps.
On the tablet, tap on Settings
Tap on Data Update.
The changes are now synced to your app and are ready to use.
