Managing trouble spot work

Planning and tracking the work of resolving trouble spots (in development).

Coming soon

This workflow is still in development. The content below describes the intent, not a feature you can use today. We'll update this page as the work lands.

Reporting and completing individual trouble spots (see Reporting and Completing) covers the simple case: someone finds a thing, someone fixes it. But real vineyard operations usually need more structure around the work:

  • Grouping spots into jobs — "all the powdery mildew in Block 4, assigned to crew A".
  • Assigning work to specific people or crews.
  • Tracking progress across a large batch — how many of today's 200 spots have been dealt with, and by whom.
  • Reviewing and signing off completed work before it's archived.

Archer is growing a dedicated workflow for this on top of the existing trouble spot lifecycle. When it lands, this page will cover:

  • Creating a trouble-spot job from a set of pending spots.
  • Assigning a job to a crew or individual.
  • Progress tracking and reporting.
  • Sign-off and archival.

What to do in the meantime

Until the full workflow is available:

  • Use Near me on mobile to work through pending spots geographically.
  • Use the portal trouble spots view to monitor the overall backlog, filtered by vineyard, type, and reported date.
  • Use notes on individual spots to communicate between field and office staff ("treated with X on 10/04", "needs revisit", etc.).
