Different scale sites use different Species ID's and names for the same tree species. This can make analysis difficult. To solve this challenge, you can use the Translations functionality.
This function lets you show a different ID and Name of any species shown on a ticket based on the scale site owner's organization.
For example, you see tickets from two scale sites, each owned by different organizations. Tickets from the first scale site reference a species as PINE. The second scale site uses the ID of PI. For you to determine how many loads of Pine were delivered, you would need to add the loads with a species ID of PINE to the loads with an ID of PI. By using Translations, you can automatically translate instances of PI to PINE for all tickets from the second organization. This then gives you a consistent view tickets, independent of how organizations refer to the same species.
To add an species translation, click the Add New Translation button on the top-left corner of the page and enter:
- The Organization that owns the scale site (select from dropdown list).
- The Old Species ID. You can find this by looking at the All Load Tickets page and showing the Species ID column.
- The New Species ID. This is the ID that you would like the Old Species ID translated to.
- The New Species Name. This name will replace the name entered at the scale site.
To remove a translation, delete the record by clicking the delete button
for that row in the grid and then click the Save Changes button.
