Roast Goals overview

The Roast Goals feature allows you to track which roasts are within your consistency goals without using a Roast Comparison report. Cropster will auto-check your roasts for different parameters and provide immediate feedback after your roast, and at the end of your roasting day in the production email, letting you know which roasts passed or failed. 

To get to the Roast Goals page: 

1. Log in to the online platform C-sar. 
2. Go to Roasts > Goals. 

The columns displayed in your Goals overview page can be edited via the Customize drop-down menu. We recommend that you leave them enabled at all times, but you may find a different combination that you prefer. 

Within the Goals overview page you can do the following: 

• Create a new roast goal by clicking the +Add goal (1) button.
• Edit your columns by clicking on the Customize (2) drop-down menu, then mark the checkboxes for the columns you want to display from the table.
• Edit a goal by clicking on the Pen (3) button.
• Delete a goal by clicking on the Trashcan (4) button. 

• View the Roast Ranger report that shows you what roasts have been passed, by clicking on the See report (5) button.

Creating a Goal

1. To create a goal, click on +Add goal.
