Batch Log Report

The batch log is the main way to access data on prior roasts. It features several filtering options including a Search field which can be used to quickly find batches based on several criteria. Links in each entry bring up additional information about that batch. If a logging window is open, a button is available there to load that batch as a target roast profile for your next batch. While not connected to a coffee roaster it is still possible to bring up all measurement data collected during that batch.

Options

Date Range

Several common date ranges are available from a drop down menu, or a custom range of dates can be selected.

Batch Type

You can choose to view only production roasts, only sample roasts, or all roasts.

Approval

You can filter displayed entries based on the approval status for the batch.

Search

Search allows you to find batches based on who roasted the batch, the roasted coffee produced, the green coffee used, the machine the coffee was roasted on, the file ID for the batch, or any annotations associated with the batch.
