Conditions

Understanding and Creating Conditions

A Condition is a specific piece of information recorded during a mix. Conditions serve two main purposes:

Reporting: Providing a detailed record of the environment or field status at the time of the application.
Dynamic Adjustments: Automatically adjusting product amounts in a Work Order based on entered data before a mix starts.

Common examples include:

Weather: Wind Speed, Wind Direction, Temperature, and Humidity.
Field Status: Weed Size or "Are Bugs Present?"
Logic: Product Rate adjustments.

Creating a New Condition

To add a new condition to your data, navigate to the Conditions overview page and press the blue "+" button in the lower right corner.

Condition Settings

Field	Description
Condition Name*	The title that appears in dropdown lists (e.g., "Wind Speed").
Units of Measure*	The units used to quantify the condition (e.g., "MPH" for wind, "Degrees" for direction, or "Inches" for weed size).
Default Value	The starting value for the condition. This is almost always set to 0 so it is obvious if the user does not modify the value prior to running the mix.
Apply to Every Mix	When turned ON, Mixmate will prompt the operator to enter or verify this data for every single mix performed.

Using Conditions for "Smart" Work Orders

Conditions become extremely powerful when linked to product rates. For example, you can create a Custom Condition in a Work Order that automatically adjusts a product rate based on entered data before a mix starts.

Wind Direction Example

When measuring Wind Direction in "Degrees":

0 = North
180 = South

Recording this as a condition ensures that your application records are detailed and provides clarity on environmental factors for every single mix performed.
