What are Stages?

Stages are the steps taken while processing a batch of coffee. Stages are created as a part of the Processes.

Adding Stages to Processes

By following the steps below, you can add Stages to Processes:

  1. Log in to the online platform C-sar.
  2. Navigate to Origin on the main menu bar. 
  3. Select Processes. 
  4. Click on +Add process on the top right side of the page. 
  5. Navigate to the bottom of the Add process page and click on +Add stage. 
  6. Enter/Select the following information:
    • Stage type: If none correctly describes your stage, select Other.
    • Target duration: How long the stage should take in terms of minutes, hours or days.
    • Stage name (Optional): If you wish to have a different name appear for the stage.
  7. Click on Update process to submit.

Please take note of the following limitations:

  • Stages need to be defined in the process before they appear on a batch.
  • Adding a stage to a process does not add that stage to pre-existing batches.
  • Removing a stage from a process does not remove that stage from pre-existing batches.
  • If you change which process a batch is using, the stages on that batch will not change.
