Understanding the Mix Setup Page

The Mix Setup page is where you configure the specific details of the mix you are about to run. This includes which machine you are using, which Work Order to follow, and the size of the mix.


In the example above, the system has calculated that it will take 5.86 mixes to complete the total Work Order based on the sprayer size.

1. Select Mixmate

Choose the specific Mixmate machine you are using for this mix.

  • Note: This is not strictly required. You can leave this blank if you are simply creating a record for a manual mix that was done without Mixmate automation.

2. Select a Work Order

You must select the Work Order you want to run.

  • Missing a Work Order? If you do not see the Work Order you are looking for, check the Applied Mix Filters. The list on this screen may be filtered differently than the main Work Orders list in the Data tab.

3. Work Order Progress

This section shows your progress toward the total Work Order goal (e.g., how much acreage is left).

  • Note: This only appears if the Work Order was set up to track completion.

4. Mix Size and Units

Use these fields to define how big this specific mix will be. You can define the size by Volume, Weight, or Area.

  • Liquid Rate-Based: You can enter the size in Total Volume (Gallons / Liters) or Area (Acres / Hectares).

  • Dry Rate-Based: You can enter the size in Total Weight (Lbs / Kg) or Area (Acres / Hectares).

  • Totals-Based: You must use Volume for liquids and Weight for dry products.

5. Application Rate

If your Work Order is based on an application rate (e.g., 10 Gallons per Acre), you can adjust that rate here. This automatically recalculates the amount of chemical needed for the mix size you chose.

6. Destination

Select the truck, sprayer, or tank you are filling.

  • When is this required? You must select a destination if:

    1. The Work Order calculates mix size based on the Destination Capacity.

    2. You have automated Mix Actions (like auto-reporting) linked to a specific vehicle.

7. Next Step

Once the setup looks correct, press the Blue Arrow (>) in the bottom right corner to move to the Mix Preview page.
