Managing trouble spot work
Coordinating a team to work through a batch of trouble spots using work orders.
Reporting and completing individual trouble spots (see Reporting and Completing) covers the simple case: someone finds a thing, someone fixes it. Real vineyard operations usually need more structure — grouping spots into batches, assigning them to specific people, and tracking progress.
In Archer, that's what work orders are for.
How it works, in short
A work order is a named group of pending trouble spots, created in the portal and worked from the mobile app.
- A manager filters the Trouble Spots page in the portal, clicks +, names the order and (optionally) sets assignees and a deadline.
- Assigned users see the work order on the Work Orders tab of the mobile app.
- They open it, walk up to each spot, and mark it complete from the field map. A focus session keeps the work order's spots visible while dimming everything else.
- The manager watches progress on the portal. Once everything's done (or the order's no longer relevant), it can be archived.
The underlying trouble spots are unchanged — a work order is just a container.
