Work types
Work types are the main categories of performed work. They are selected in the Work details section of the protocol form.
Fields
| Field | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Name of the work type | Yes |
| Default for new protocols | Whether the type is preselected when a new protocol is created | No |
The table also shows the number of assigned subtypes in the Subtypes column.
Default Work Type
If you mark a work type as default, Deratix selects it automatically when a new protocol is created. The technician can change it or add another type if needed.
More than one work type can be default. In that case, all selected default work types are prefilled in new protocols.
Examples
- Rodent control - rodent elimination
- Insect control - insect elimination
- Disinfection - space disinfection
- Fumigation - gas insect control
- HACCP inspection - inspection for food operations
Use in the Form
When creating a protocol in Work details:
- Select the main work type.
- After selecting the type, available work subtypes are loaded.
- Optionally select a subtype, such as preventive inspection or intervention.
Relation to Subtypes
Work types can have assigned work subtypes for more detailed classification.
| Work type | Subtypes |
|---|---|
| Rodent control | Preventive inspection, Intervention, Monitoring |
| Insect control | Spray, Aerosol, Gel |
