Recipe Filters and General Recipe Information

• If you want to view or edit an existing recipe, first select a Group (default is Select All Groups).

  • The selected recipes will be displayed in the top grid.
  • You can click on any column heading to sort by that column.
  • To search on any column, click on the column heading and then enter the search criteria in the Search by field.  The default Search By option is Description.
    • When searching for a recipe, the results will yield any recipe that “contains” what was entered and not an exact match.

• To search for an existing recipe by ID, click the ID column heading in the upper grid to set focus to ID.

• Type the Recipe ID in the Search By field. You do not need to type the ‘R’ or the leading zeroes.

• Check the Include Inactive box to include inactive recipes in the results.

• Check the Inactive box next to any recipe in the upper grid to make it inactive.  If no other changes have been made, these will save automatically.

• Click on any line in the top grid to display the information for that recipe in the lower grid.

The top part of the screen is the search grid.

• Highlight any row in the top grid to display the details for that recipe at the bottom of the screen.

• Check the Inactive box to label an inactive recipe, if applicable.

Inactive Recipes

Recipes can be inactivated to prevent users at the schools from viewing or printing the recipe.

Security

In System Management, there is a security preference that controls the viewing/modifying of a hidden recipe.

• This is to prevent the user from adding these recipes to the cycle menu, school daily menu and the Production record.

  • Regardless of the users security setting, if you want to add an inactive recipe, you first must make it active and then inactive it.

Notes on Inactive Recipes

• If it is in the cycle menu, the recipe will be marked as inactive.  This will not alter the way our program handles WA and Display on Public Calendar, it will be the users’ responsibility to update these areas.

• Inactive recipes in the cycle menu will not get APPLIED to sites, only active recipes are applied.

• Duplicating cycles that contain inactive recipes will not duplicate the inactive recipes into the newly created cycle.

• Inactivating a recipe after the recipe has been applied to a site will mark the recipe as inactive.   This will not alter the way our program handles WA and Display on Public Calendar.

• It is also the users’ responsibility to have inactive recipes removed from School Daily Menu so the inactive recipes do not appear on the production records.

• For applied data, the recipe will still be visible.

• Inactive recipes are not included in the result set when using the Search for Recipe feature.

• Inactive recipes cannot manually be added to Cycle Menu, School Daily Menu or the Production record regardless of the user preference setting.

• Duplicating cycle menus that have no active recipes you will get a cycle menu with no recipes.

• Applying cycle menus that have no active recipes will not create the expected School Daily Menu.
