This is the first of 5 training articles for you to learn about the main features of the GrowerIQ software and learn how to configure them.
Organizational settings allow GrowerIQ to be configured for your company's specific facilities or operations.
For that, you'll need to know more about these features:
Rooms
Rooms are physical spaces within your facility where inventory exits.
Rooms are important to help visually organize inventory data in the software and also provide the user with the ability to perform various activities at the room level compared to the inventory level. It helps you to save time.
To configure your Rooms, you must go to Administration > Rooms. Your Room name will appear throughout your site.
When creating a new Room, you will need to fill in the name and Zone name.
Useful Tip💡: The Zone describes the function of the Room. For Rooms to be visible on the "Cultivation & Processing" overview page, specific zones must be used:
Cultivation
Warehouse
Storage
Special
User Roles
A User Role is like a switch that controls what someone can do in the GrowerIQ software. It helps simplify new employee training and protects confidential information by only allowing access to relevant functions.
User Role permissions can be assigned per page in GrowerIQ. For example, an employee working in the cultivation department may be granted access to the Batches and Mothers pages. An employee working in shipping and receiving may be granted access to only the Received Inventory, Orders, and Shipments pages.
You can configure User Roles and create new or edit existing ones for your team members.
Go to Administration > User Roles.
Varieties
These are the strains/cultivars you work with, for example, Blue Dream, Sativa, etc. You can find this by navigating to Administration > Varieties.
A variety has:
ID
Strain name
Strain type
The strain type doesn't have an effect on anything, it is for your own reference.
SKUs
SKUs (Stock Keeping Units) in GrowerIQ are cannabis products that are to be sold. They can be used for wholesale orders, bulk orders, or individual consumer packages.
The SKUs are printed on labels, which allows automatic tracking of the movement of each product.
To create and manage your SKUs, go to Administration > SKUs.
Waste Types & Destruction Methods
Waste Types are the types of cannabis waste that is recorded, such as leaves, and roots.
Go to Administration > Waste Types
The method of destruction is also required information when destroying. Make sure you set them up too.
Destruction Methods are the methods you used for destruction such as kitty litter, incineration, and biofumigation.
