Work Orders Overview
What is a Work Order?
A work order is a plan of how to create a mix or set of mixes.
Create a New Work Order
Use the "+" in the lower right corner of the work order overview page to start a new work order.
Applied Mix Filters
Applied Mix Filters become useful when you need to organize work loads. This keeps the operators in the field from accidentally picking the wrong work order to fulfill.
Only for Mixmate
The only for Mixmate filter makes this work order only available to run when the selected Mixmate is selected as the Mixmate on the Mix Setup page. This selection is only available if you have more than one Mixmate machine.
Only for User
The only for User filter makes this work order only available to the selected user on the Mix Setup page when they are signed into the Mixmate app.
Use As:
Use as Work Order when you would like to mark this task complete when a target amount has been reached. The target amount can be in volume, weight or area. Typically the target amount is in area, especially when you are using rates.
Use as Resuable Mix when you want to use this work order like a prescription or recipie.
Use Totals when you want to create a ratio mix or when you know the total amount of each product you want in the Mix
Use Rates is the MOST COMMON and the most flexible when you go to mix. Use rates when you know the application rate of each product and want adjustability at the time of mixing.

What is Product Mix Style?
Product Mix Style allows the operators to chose between three different ways to introduce products to make the final mixed solution. The Mixmate machine MUST have carrier control and the Carrier Pump Wizard process has been completed to utilize these options.
Mixmate Control
Mixmate Control product mix style is the tested and proven method to achieve the best efficacy and most efficient final mixed solution. This is the easy way to make sure that you achieve the most consistent, fastest, and best results.
User Control
User Control product mix style allows the user choose to when to change each product from a holding state to a ready state. The mixing process will handle any products in the ready state the same way as Mixmate Control operates. If you would like to have a product introduced and complete prior to any other product, only press the start button for that specific product until it is complete. Likewise, if there is a product that you would like to introduce after everything else has been added, wait until all the other products are complete prior to starting that product.
Sequential
The Sequential product mix style introduces each product from top to bottom of the list. The product must fully complete prior to starting the next product.
