What's new? Adding custom varieties to the Green Inventory Adding custom varieties to existing lots Adding custom varieties to Samples FAQs

What's new?

As the amount of information about green coffee continues to grow, we aim to empower you to enhance traceability across all aspects of your operations.

Cropster has a repository of the most common varieties, but from now on, you can also add less-known varieties to your lots and samples. 
 

Adding custom varieties to the Green Inventory

By following the steps below, you can add custom varieties to your Green Inventory:

  1. Log in to the online platform C-sar
  2. Navigate to the (Green) Inventory on the main menu bar. You will be directed to the (Green) Inventory overview page.
  3. By clicking on Add lot, you can add new lots one by one (One) or import them in bulk (Bulk import) to your (Green) Inventory. 
  4. If you can't see Varieties, you can enable this field by clicking on the Customize fields button.
  5. If your desired variety is not listed, you can enter it in the Varieties field. Ensure you enter the correct variety name, as it cannot be removed once added to the list.
  6. Click on Add and save the variety to the list, and add it to your lots.
  7. The variety you manually added will be saved to the list of varieties in case you need to add the same variety to another lot. Several varieties can be added to the lots at the same time. 


Adding custom varieties to existing lots

  1. Navigate to the (Green) Inventory overview page.
  2. Select the lot you wish to add custom varieties to by clicking on its ID tag. You will be directed to the lot details page. 
  3.  Click onEdit button.
  4. Navigate through the steps of adding custom varieties to the Inventory.
  5. Click on Update lot.


Adding custom varieties to Samples 

 

Samples are only available for Professional and higher tiers. 

The process for adding custom varieties to both new and existing samples follows the same steps outlined above.

The Sample overview page is available on the main menu bar in the online platform C-sar

 

 

FAQs

Can I remove the added varieties? 
Yes, you can remove the added varieties by following the steps below:

  1. Navigate to the (Green) Inventory overview page/Samples overview page.
  2. Select the lot you wish to add custom varieties to by clicking on its ID tag. You will be directed to the lot/sample details page. 
  3.  Click onEdit button.
  4. To remove a variety, simply click the "x" next to its name, and it will be removed from both the lots and samples.
  5. To finalize edits to a lot or sample, click the Update lot or Update sample button. You can remove the variety from lots and samples, but it will remain on the list of varieties.
