Directions Tab

On this tab, you can enter the recipe directions. This section is optional.

Steps

• Click the green plus next to Steps to assign a step number for each part of the directions.

  • Each step can have Ingredients, Directions and HACCP Notes (free text and/or pre-defined) that print together on the Prep Report.
  • The Up and Down arrows below the steps allow you to change the sequence of the steps.

Ingredients

Associate the ingredients required for each step of the directions.

• Click the green plus next to the Ingredients list to add a new line. Then you can select the ingredients for this step from the dropdown list.

  • Any ingredient in the recipe that is not associated with a step will be listed on the Prep Report with the notation (No Directions).

Directions

• Enter step-by-step directions on how to prepare, cook and serve this recipe. You may have directions without having ingredients for that step.

  Click here for a list of symbols and fractions you can insert using keyboard shortcuts. To insert the symbol, place the cursor where you want the symbol to be and use the correct keystroke combination.

HACCP Notes (free text)

• Enter free text HACCP instructions associated this step here. Each HACCP note will be preceded by CCP (Critical Control Point).

Example:Heat to 165° F or higher for at least 15 seconds will print as CCP: Heat to 165° F or higher for at least 15 seconds.

• This information will be displayed last in the step directions, after any pre-defined HACCP notes.

HACCP (pre-defined)

• Select HACCP information for this step from the predefined HACCP Types and Critical Limits.

• Click the green plus sign to add a new row.

• Select Before or After from the Position dropdown list. This determines where the note will be positioned in the printed recipe (before or after the directions for this step).

  • The After notes show in the example above would probably be associated with the last step of the recipe. The example is just to show how it is set up.

• Select from the Type dropdown list of HACCP Types defined under Administration: HACCP Type Setup.

• Select from the Critical Limits for the selected Critical Limit type. This is set up in Administration: HACCP Setup.
